Polling Interval options
Whether you are using NDS or Bindery services, you may choose Polling Interval from
the main PServer Setup menu. If you do not reset the interval, the default value of
15 seconds is used.
Windows Setup
Broadcasts from SMB devices cannot pass across a router without a WINS name
server. In the options that follow, you can specify whether to use a WINS name server.
You can even have the Pi5500 obtain the WINS name server IP address automatically.
For information on setting up a Windows computer for Windows (SMB) printing, see
Getting Started.
Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so TCP/IP must be
configured on all workstations that will use Windows (SMB) printing and on the
Pi5500, as well.

Enable Windows Printing
Yes/No [No]
Enabling Windows Printing enables SMB (Server Message Block), the file and
printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the Pi5500 to
be listed on the network so that Windows clients can install printer drivers with
Point and Print and then print to a particular queue (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the
Pi5500 without any other networking software.
