Usage Guidelines

  • When SNMP-discovery-during startup is true, the SNMP queries can cause long startup times, especially when there are lots of SNMP printers and a significant number of them are powered off or disconnected.
  • When SNMP-discovery-during startup is false, the server bypasses the initial SNMP queries, and the SNMP printers show whatever their status was when the server was shut down the last time. When set to false, the printer status becomes up-to-date over time as the SNMP polling loop runs.
