How to Configure the Device Time
You can set the time of the TPR 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
information to its clients. In the TPR, the time server is defined via
the IP address or the host name.
Benefits and
Purpose
If the time server is activated, the ThinPrint print jobs that are
handled by the TPR will get a time stamp. Date and time are then
displayed under (
UTC
The TPR 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
resulting time difference (including country-specific particularities
such as Daylight Saving Time) can be handled by means of the 'Time
zone' parameter.
