PrintFleet Printer DCA Using the Printer Data Collection Agent try doubling it to 10,000 milliseconds). However, the higher the network timeout is set, the longer the Printer DCA scan will take. To change the network timeout: 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 Transmission Options area, type or select the desired network timeout, in milliseconds, in the Network Timeout box. 3. Click Save. Note This setting only affects how long the Printer DCA will wait for the initial discovery of networked devices. For each printer that has been discovered the Printer DCA will wait up to 60 seconds to receive complete information from the device. Setting the Local Print Agent timeout Setting the number of SNMP retries The Local Print Agent timeout is the amount of time that the Printer DCA will wait for the Local Print Agent application to respond back with information from a locally connected device. The default Local Print Agent timeout is 30,000 milliseconds per system. Local device collection takes substantially longer than networked device collection because of the extra step needed to go through the connected computer via the Local Print Agent application. The Local Print Agent timeout only needs to be adjusted if the Printer DCA is not collecting complete information from locally connected devices. There may be other reasons that the Printer DCA is not collecting complete information, for example, the device does not store a specific data field (toner levels, etc.), or a Local Print Agent is not installed on the computer connected to the local device. See "Managing local devices with Local Print Agent" on page 29. To change the Local Print Agent timeout: 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 Transmission Options area, type or select the desired Local Print Agent timeout, in milliseconds, in the Local Agent Timeout box. 3. Click Save. The number of SNMP retries entered in the Printer DCA settings is the number of times the Printer DCA will attempt to get information from a device that is responding with incomplete or no information. By default, this value is set to 5. Increasing the number of SNMP retries may increase the completeness of a Printer DCA scan, but will also increase the amount of time it takes to complete a network scan. 20
