6. Select the printer for which you wish to alter the poll time, and
press
ENTER .
7. Change the Sampling 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.
8. Press ESCAPE and select Yes to save the changes to this new
printer.
9. Repower the NIC by turning the printer off and on to make the
changes take effect.
Changing The NIC Name
(NDS And Bindery Setups)
When defining a new print queue on a Novell file server, you must
define a new print server to represent the NIC. This name must
match the predefined name given to the print server. By default,
this name is in the format “M_xxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” equals the
last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address found on the bottom of
the device (e.g., “M_091C1A”). Make sure that the print server
object you are using for your PSERVER setup has the same name
as that stored on the NIC. If you need to rename the print server
object in Netware Administrator, delete the object and re-create it
with the new name. Netware Administrator seems to have some
problems with renaming objects.
NOTE: Changing the name will affect all of the protocols that are
running on the NIC.
