How to Configure the Device Time
You can set the time of the TPG via a time server (SNTP server) in the
network. A timeserver is a computer networking device that reads
the actual time from a reference clock and distributes this informa-
tion to its clients. The time server is defined via the IP address or the
domain name.
Benefits and
Purpose
If the time server is activated, all print jobs that are handled by the
TPG will get a time stamp. Date and time are then displayed under
Job History.
UTC
The TPG uses ’UTC’ (Universal Time Coordinated) as a basis. UTC is a
reference time and used as a time standard.
Time zone
The time received by the time server does not necessarily correspond
to your local time zone. Deviations from your location and the resul-
ting time difference (including country-specific particularities such
as Daylight Saving Time) can be handled by means of the ‘Time zone’
parameter.
Requirements
;
A time server is integrated into the network.
