Managing Printer

DCAs

You can check the status of a Printer DCA installation via Printer

DCA Listing page. Printer DCA information can be viewed or edited

at any time. A Printer DCA can also be deleted or set to inactive or

active. A new PIN Code can also be created for a Printer DCA

version 4.0 or greater.

Note

When a Printer DCA expires, is deleted, or is set to

inactive, the next time that Printer DCA connects it

will effectively go into a state of hibernation. It will

not perform any further scans, or transmit any

other files, but will perform a status check once

every 24 hours. If a subsequent status check finds

that the Printer DCA is once again been set to an

active state, the Printer DCA will automatically exit

the hibernation state and resume normal

operation.

To check the status of a Printer DCA:

1.

On the

Administration

menu, select

DCA Administration

.

2.

In the DCA Listing page, the status of the Printer DCA will be

visible in the Status column:

•

Pending Activation – PIN Code has not been used to activate

Printer DCA client.

•

Active – Printer DCA has been activated using PIN Code.

•

Inactive – the Printer DCA has been set to Inactive or has

expired.

To view Printer DCA information:

1.

On the

Administration

menu, select

DCA Administration

.

2.

Click on the Printer DCA name link for the Printer DCA you want

to view from the

Data Collection Agent (DCA) Listing

fields,

and then click

To delete an existing Printer DCA:

1.

Click the Delete option beside the Printer DCA in the

DCA

Listing

page, or in the DCA Information page, click

Delete

.

2.

A dialog box prompts you to confirm your wish to delete this

Printer DCA.

3. Click

Confirm

to complete the Printer DCA deletion, or

Cancel

to abort the Printer DCA deletion. After deletion, files will not be

processed for the Printer DCA, but the Printer DCA will enter a

hibernation state. If you want to completely remove the Printer

DCA, you will need to uninstall it.
