If the default set of IP addresses captures all the devices on the network that you want to scan, and you do not want multiple scan profiles, you do not have to further specify the devices for the Printer DCA to scan. If, however, you want to adjust the devices included in the default scan, or if you have more than one scan profile, you will need to further configure which IP addresses and/or hostnames to include. Single IP addresses, ranges of IP addresses, and hostnames can all be used to specify devices to include or exclude from a network scan. There are two general purposes for excluding a device or range of IP addresses from a network scan: (1) to specifically not collect information from a device or set of devices; or (2) to remove IP addresses that you know do not have printing devices on them to create the most efficient scan range (shorter network scan time).

For more information on scan profiles, see "Managing scan profiles" on page 14. 2. Under the General tab, in the Ranges area, do one or more of the following: • To automatically obtain an additional default scan range (from the one specified during Printer DCA installation), select Default Range, and then select either From Active Directory or the applicable network card for the system installed with the Printer DCA. • To specify a range of IP addresses, select IP Range, and enter the IP address of the beginning of the range in the left box, and the IP address of the end of the range in the right box. • To specify a single IP address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in the box. • To specify a hostname, select Hostname and enter the hostname in the box. 3.

PrintFleet Printer DCA
Using the Printer Data Collection Agent
Active Directory or, if that is not available, the primary network card
on the system installed with the Printer DCA. These IP addresses
are automatically added to the
Default
scan profile.
If the default set of IP addresses captures all the devices on the
network that you want to scan, and you do not want multiple scan
profiles, you do not have to further specify the devices for the
Printer DCA to scan. If, however, you want to adjust the devices
included in the default scan, or if you have more than one scan
profile, you will need to further configure which IP addresses and/or
hostnames to include.
Single IP addresses, ranges of IP addresses, and hostnames can all
be used to specify devices to include or exclude from a network
scan. There are two general purposes for excluding a device or
range of IP addresses from a network scan: (1) to specifically not
collect information from a device or set of devices; or (2) to remove
IP addresses that you know do not have printing devices on them to
create the most efficient scan range (shorter network scan time).
Important
It is recommended that the network administrator
at the location with Printer DCA installed help set
up the Printer DCA scan range.
To add devices to, or exclude devices from, a Printer DCA
network scan range:
1.
Under the
Scan
tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the
Scan Profile
list. For more information on
scan profiles, see “Managing scan profiles” on page 14.
2.
Under the
General
tab, in the
Ranges
area, do one or more of
the following:
To automatically obtain an additional default scan range
(from the one specified during Printer DCA installation),
select
Default Range
, and then select either
From Active
Directory
or the applicable network card for the system
installed with the Printer DCA.
To specify a range of IP addresses, select
IP Range
, and
enter the IP address of the beginning of the range in the left
box, and the IP address of the end of the range in the right
box.
To specify a single IP address, select
IP Address
and enter
the IP address in the box.
To specify a hostname, select
Hostname
and enter the
hostname in the box.
