Polling Interval options
Whether you are using NDS or Bindery services, you may choose Polling Interval from
the main PServer Setup menu. If you do not reset the interval, the default value of 15
seconds is used.
Windows Setup
Broadcasts from SMB devices cannot pass across a router without a WINS name
server. In the options that follow, you can specify whether to use a WINS name server.
You can even have the Pi6500 Pro obtain the WINS name server IP address
automatically.
For information on how to set up a Windows computer for Windows (SMB) printing,
see Getting Started. Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so TCP/IP must be
configured on all workstations that will use Windows (SMB) printing and on the
Pi6500 Pro as well.

Enable Windows Printing
Yes/No [Yes]
Enabling Windows Printing enables SMB (Server Message Block), the file and
printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the Pi6500 Pro
to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular queue
(Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Pi6500 Pro without any other networking software.
