Adjusting Polling Time
(NDS And Bindery Setups)
To set the poll time the NIC will use when checking for new jobs
under a PSERVER setup:
Netware 4. x and 5.x
1. Log in to Netware Administrator as a user with security equal to
Admin on your Novell host.
2. Double click on the printer object for which you wish to change
the poll time. This will bring up the printer object detail pages.
3. Click Configuration to display the configuration page.
4. Change the Service Interval to the desired number (in
seconds).
NOTE: You may also want to change the “Service mode for forms”
to “Change forms as needed.” If you do not do this, the NIC
will need to poll the file server twice as much to get all the
information it needs.
5. Repower the NIC by turning the printer off and on to make the
changes take effect.
Netware 3.
x
1. Log in to PCONSOLE on your Novell host as
supervisor
.
2. Select Print Server Information from the main menu and
press ENTER .
3. Select the print server you have been using for your PSERVER
setup and press ENTER. By default, this will be “M_xxxxxx”
where “xxxxxx” equals the last six digits of the print server’s
Ethernet address found on the bottom of the device
(e.g., “M_091C1A”).
4. Select Print Server Configuration from the menu that
displays.
5. Select Printer Configuration from the next menu to display a
list of configured printers.
