Running PrinterMap for the First Time
Before PrinterMap can manage network printers, PrinterMap configuration and
discovery processes must occur. PrinterMap is designed to assist in this process
when it is first started. This section describes how PrinterMap assists in this
process and where to look for additional information. By default, the install
program starts the PrinterMap user interface (Topology window). Selecting
PrinterMap from the Xerox PrinterMap program group is another way to get
started.
The first time the PrinterMap Topology window is started a welcome screen is
displayed.
Figure 2 Welcome to PrinterMap window
The welcome screen is displayed every time PrinterMap is started until discover
parameters are configured or the “Continue to show this window” box is
unchecked. Select the OK button to continue. The PrinterMap Configuration
window is displayed.
At minimum, PrinterMap requires the user to define discover parameters. The
discover parameters specify how PrinterMap discovers network printers. After
closing the Welcome screen, PrinterMap displays the PrinterMap configuration
window. By default, the Discover panel is shown. PrinterMap automatically fills
in as many parameters on the Discover panel as possible. IP parameters that
PrinterMap supplies include the machine’s IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway. PrinterMap also fills in the machine’s Novell preferred server, if
applicable. Refer to “Discover Configuration” in Chapter 3 for more information
on configuring PrinterMap’s discover process.
Other PrinterMap configuration parameters may be specified at this time. Only
discover configuration is required. Refer to “Configuring PrinterMap” for more
information on configuring PrinterMap.
