• Find Printers: Selecting this button will initiate a search routine out to the network.
This routine will then list all printers found on the network by their print server name
(defined in the printer). The default print server name for a printer is a three letter
identifier and the six digit serial number of the NIC (for example, KXP_991225).
• Select: Selecting this button will flag the highlighted printer(s) with the “S” flag. Only
30 printers may be selected at one time. When displaying the PORT list during the
process of adding or changing a printer, only Selected printers will be displayed.
• Available Printers: This is the list of printers that was detected on the network. This
list can be cleared using the “Clear” button and this list can be updated or refilled
using the “Find Printers” button. Printers in this list are described with three fields:
• Unit Name: This is the print server name defined in the printer. The default print
server name for a printer is a three letter identifier and the six digit serial number of
the NIC (for example, KXP_991225).
• Description: This is the Printer's description. This field usually contains the
manufacturer's name and the printer's model.
• Flags: “S”, selected or “P”, permanent.
Any printers marked with an “S” flag will be displayed in the Window’s Port Listing.
When displaying the Windows port list during the process of adding or changing a
printer, only Selected printers will be displayed. Only 30 printers may be selected at
one time.
Any printer marked with a “P” flag will not be removed from the Available Printers:
box, even if the printer is physically removed from the network or the “Clear” button
is selected
