Note Table 1-4 (Continued) 1-11 Printer Configuration 1.3 Printer Configuration This section explains how to set and confirm the printer's configuration from the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility. The value set from the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility becomes the printer's default setting. However, when printing, the printer may automatically switch to another setting, depending on the application software or printer driver settings. 1.3.1 Basic Settings for the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel Before operating the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel, you can change settings for polling, error notification, and whether you want to use the 3D virtual printer to monitor the printer status. 1 Click the SETUP button on the start-up screen. 2 The KM-NET Remote Operation Panel dialog appears. Read the following explanations, then make the appropriate settings. Status Polling Enable Traps Browse NIC Web Page button Polling 1-12 Printer Configuration Enable Traps (unsolicited notifications) This allows the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility to obtain and display information about the printer, such as the open/closed state of the top cover, that is output automatically by the network interface card in the printer. This requires that the network output of status information by the network interface card be enabled. To do this, click on the Browse NIC Web Page button to call up SNMP trap notification from the network interface card homepage. Polling With Polling activated (check box checked), the KM-NET Remote Operation Panel utility logs itself onto the printer and automatically recognizes printer changes at regular intervals. This duration of the interval can be configured by moving the slider with the mouse. The default setting is 5 seconds. Polling must normally be left activated (check box checked). Error notification Each of the following functions are activated when the appropriate check box is checked.
