Refresh Rate option
Note
The appearance of the screen varies according to the HP LaserJet product and its configuration.
There are six settings for the refresh rate. 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 still open the status window and view the product status panels.
Changes to the refresh rate settings affect any subsequent jobs submitted to the affected
printer. Existing jobs that are already being processed have a fixed refresh rate which was
determined (according to the setting in the Refresh Rate panel) when the job was
submitted.
