PrinterMap User Guide

NOTE:
The Pmap.ini file may contain comment lines shown in the previous
sample. The first two characters of comment lines should have two
forward slashes (“//”) for consistency.
The Pmap.ini file may be modified with any text editor. Be careful not to damage
the file structure or modify any default entries because PrinterMap may not
function properly afterwards. To edit the Pmap.ini file the user needs the System
Object Identifier of the Xerox printer model being added and the name of the 5
icon files being used by PrinterMap to display the various printer status
conditions. The new Xerox model’s icon files must be placed in the
[Drive]:\[Install Directory]\Icons
directory. During initialization PrinterMap
looks in the
...\Icons
directory for the icon files specified in each model statement.
If PrinterMap is unable to load one or more icons for a particular Xerox model,
the corresponding Xerox-Generic icon(s) is substituted.
Using a text editor, find the [xerox_models] section of the Pmap.ini file. Next,
update the
number=
entry under the [xerox_models] section header with the total
number of model statements after the Pmap.ini file is edited. Next append the new
model statements to [xerox_models] section by adding new
modelN=
entries for
each new Xerox model being supported. Save and exit the file after modifying.
NOTE:
The PrinterMap Topology window must be exited and restarted to
register the new Pmap.ini entries.
If the discover process does not receive a response from a printer within a
specified amount of time, a time-out occurs for that printer. Time-out values are
defined in the
[Drive]:\[Install Directory]\Pmap.ini
file. If the default time-out
values shown in the table below are not long enough (possibly due to attempting
printer discovery across multiple routers) use any text to edit the pmap.ini file and
increase time-out values.
