Manage Tab Help
Purpose of the Manage Tab
The Manage tab displays the printer list from cache with
the allowable actions used to manage printers. Click the Quick Links column
drop-down box to select a management link to display on the page. You can select
any of the following
Quick Links options:
- Support - Select this link to display a link to the printer Support tab
for each printer in the list, if available.
- Install Drivers - This link displays the various methods to install printer drivers
in CentreWare IS.
- Security Settings - Select this to display a link to the printer's Security
Settings page in CentreWare IS.
- Usage Profile - This link displays the various methods used to provide Usage
Profile information in CentreWare IS for the printers.
- Job Accounting - Select this link to display the methods used in
CentreWare IS to provide Job Accounting information for the printers.
Note: Detailed information is available for Xerox Phaser
printers only.
The default column settings for the Manage tab are Status,
IP Address, Model, Status Detail, and Quick Links. On printer configurations with a hard drive, the Status and Quick Links columns are fixed; however, you can configure which fields display in the second, third, and fourth columns. To modify display settings, click the Preferences tab and select Configure Display Columns 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 selected
Quick Phaser Search from the 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.
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
When you click the Update Status button from any tab
except the Preferences tab, the printer parses the printer cache, requests
updated status data from each of the printers in the list, then displays
the
updated printer status information on the page. The status line on the top
of the page displays a message indicating the status update is in progress.
This
message updates every 60 seconds until the status update is complete.
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.
