Usage notes:

  • If the Use SNMP property is Yes, but this value is not set, RICOH ProcessDirector does not try to connect to SNMP and the SNMP status is Disconnected.
  • If a job is assigned to the printer, do not change the value of this property.
  • RICOH ProcessDirector automatically shuts down and restarts the AFP or PCLOut printer when you change the TCP/IP address or host name.
  • If you create a Ricoh PDF printer to send jobs to a printer with a Fiery DFE, use the network TCP/IP address of the DFE.
  • If you create a Ricoh TotalFlow Printer to send jobs to a printer with a RICOH TotalFlow DFE, use the network TCP/IP address or the host name of the printer. If Restricted IP Addresses are enabled, you must add the IP address of RICOH ProcessDirector to the allowed list to establish a connection.
