Changing the
Polling
Interval
(Optional)
The default polling interval for the XNIC to pull print jobs is
set at 10 seconds for 3.x/bindery mode and five seconds for
NDS mode. This interval gauges the frequency that the XNIC
polls the file server to determine if jobs are available. Once
the XNIC determines that jobs are available, all the jobs in
the queue may be called at the network bandwidth.
The polling interval cannot be changed in NetWare versions
3.x/BEM. However, the user can change the polling interval
for a print queue in Netware 4.x NDS. The procedure below
lets you change the polling interval using PConsole.
