Identity Tab Help
Purpose of the Identity Tab
The Identity tab displays printer identity information for
all of the printers contained in the printer
list. The default values on this tab include: Status, IP Address, Model, DNS
Name, System Name, MAC Address, Serial #, Asset
#, and Manufacturer. The Status column is fixed. It always
displays in the first column on the Identity tab. To
modify display settings,
click the Preferences tab and select Configure
Display Settings on the navigation tree.
For information on the meaning
of status icons, see Status Icons on
the Status Tab Help page.
Organizing this Tab
Organize the tab by clicking categories from the navigation tree
on the left. All data will be re-displayed by the category chosen. If you have
selected Quick Phaser Search from the Printer Search Scope page
on the Preferences tab, only Phaser printers will display. Otherwise,
all manufacturers will display. Click the column headings to toggle the display
order of that column. Access any printer that contains a link by clicking on
its IP Address. For more information on tab display settings, see the
Configure Display Settings Help
and the Configure Display
Columns Help on the Preferences tab.
Generating Reports
To generate reports containing printer information,
click the Generate
Report button and select the report type from the Reports page.
For more information on generating reports and selecting report types, see
the Reports Help.
Creating and Modifying
Custom Printer Groups
You can create and modify custom Printer Groups from any tab
except the Preferences tab. For more information on creating printer
groups, see the Create Printer Group Help.
For more information on how to modify custom printer groups,
see the Modify Printer Group Help.
Updating the Printer List
Click the Update Printer List button to instruct the printer
to perform a new printer search according to the values stored in the printer
search settings pages on the Preferences tab. For more information on
printer search settings,
see the Printer Search Scope
Help and the Printer Search Schedule Help
on the Preferences tab.
Updating Printer Status
Click the Update Status button to refresh the status of
the printers on the page. For more detail regarding the Update Status function,
see Update
Status on the Status Tab Help page.
Notes:
- Update Status does not add any new printers to the
list. It simply requests updates for the printers contained in the list. To initiate a new printer search, click Update Printer List.
- Access to the Update
Printer List, Update Status,
Create Printer Group, and Modify Printer Group functions are controlled
by the administrator. You may require a user name and password to access these
functions. See the Administrator
Security Settings Help in CentreWare IS.
