Note Six settings for the refresh rate are available. The default setting is halfway between Less Often and More Often. The Less Often setting specifies the least frequent update intervals, which have minimal impact on network traffic. The More Often setting updates the status more frequently, but also has the most impact on traffic. The Never setting disables the job-status monitoring mechanism for the selected printer. If the refresh rate for a given printer is set to Never, then subsequent jobs sent to that printer will not appear in the Printer Status and Alerts window. If the Never setting is selected when the scope control is set to All Printers, then all job-status monitoring will be disabled. However, even when job-status monitoring is disabled, you can open the status window and view the printer status panels. Changes to the refresh rate settings affect any subsequent jobs that are submitted to the affected printer. Existing jobs that are already being processed have a fixed refresh rate that was determined (according to the setting in the Refresh Rate panel) when the job was submitted. Refresh-rate intervals for direct-connect printers are as follows: • Less Often setting: 5 minutes • One setting to the right of Less Often: 2 minutes • Two settings to the right of Less Often: 1 minute • Three settings to the right of Less Often: 30 seconds • More Often setting: 10 seconds On network printers, the refresh-rate interval changes, depending on the stage of the print job. The Alerts options panel has controls to determine when the Printer Status and Alerts window automatically appears for each printer that has an icon in the left pane. The drop-down menu provides a list of available printers for which to make the selection. An option for all printers is included as the default selection. Each of the three, four, or five available selections, depending on the printer connection type, causes the Printer Status and Alerts window to automatically appear when that alert condition arises. Printers that are involved with at least one active print job are queried for job status periodically according to the Status Check Rate setting. If an error or a warning condition is detected, the Printer Status and Alerts window will automatically appear according to the Alerts options. Depending upon the options you select, information in the status window changes for each job printed, each job completed, and each warning condition detected. 46 Technology background information Software Technical Reference
