DPPS – Administrator’s Guide

3 Select the printer icon and click

or right-click the printer icon and

click

Add Admin Scan. The following messages appear from the system

tray and in the DPPS client’s status bar:
• Checking proximity to printers. Please wait.
• Sending scan to server.
• Scan successfully sent.

4 Verify that the scan was successfully sent to the server using one of the

following methods:

a

The No Admin Scans icon

disappears from the printer icon once

the scan is successfully sent to the server.

b

Position the mouse pointer over the printer icon and read the tool tip

that appears. You should see

Scans: 1 [Admin: 1 User: 0]. If the number

of scans is less than 1, you will need to run the admin scan again.

NOTE:

It is recommended that you initially create at least five admin scans

per printer at different times of the day to ensure that the averaging

calculations are accurate.

NOTE:

If no admin scans are associated with a printer, it will not be read

correctly by end user scans and the printer will not be recommended to users

even if they are standing right next to it.

Mapping Additional Printers

You can map additional printers using one of the following methods:

1 Create copies of existing printers: DPPS allows you to create copies of

existing printers. This method reduces the time taken to add new printers

as you do not have to re-enter all the fields.

2 Manually create new printers: Right-click the point on the map where you

would like to create a new printer and click

Create New Printer.

3 Click File New Printer. The Add New Printer window appears.

For more information on adding printers using this method, see "Adding a

Printer" on page 16.
