In some cases, at initialization NetSpot may not recognize a printer on
different subnet. In addition, if the search range of the device has been
changed, NetSpot may lose recognition of another printer. In such a case,
use the following procedure to set the NetSpot search range for devices.
• Start NetSpot, and from the View menu, select Preferences. The
Discovery sheet is displayed.
• For the TCP/IP Discovery item select Default (255.255.255.255). This
setting allows the network to search all printers on the same subnet with
NetSpot. To set the search range for the network, select Specify
Addresses and add the IP addresses of all printers to be searched. (If you
add the IP address 255.255.255.255 then NetSpot will search for all
printers on the same subnet with NetSpot.
