Automatic Device Discovery

1-2
Discovery is a process that checks networks for printing devices. If new
devices are found, then the application updates its database with information
about the device. This process can be performed manually for single or multiple
devices, or it can be scheduled to run automatically according to a set schedule.
It is also possible to exclude devices from being discovered.
When the application is launched for the first time, or when a new workspace is
opened, the Add Devices wizard automatically launches.
You can use the Add Devices wizard to add devices to the view list.
In the Device menu, click Discovery > Add devices.
In the Add Devices wizard, select a method for adding devices:
Express
Uses predefined communication settings to find devices in the local network.
Custom
Lets you select settings to find devices on any network.
For the selected method, complete the wizard and click Finish to begin
discovery.
With Custom selected in the Add Devices wizard, you can select the discovery
process to run on your local network, a specific IP address, or a range of IP
addresses. Continue through the wizard to select the following options:
On your local network
Select the discovery type. Click Next to select communication settings and a
discovery schedule, and confirm discovery settings.
By IP address
Type an IPv4 or IPv6 address or host name and click Add to include the
entry in the Selected targets list. You can also click Import to use an IP
address list (.CSV or .TXT). To remove an IP address or host name from the
Selected targets list, select the IP address and click Remove. Click Next to
select communication settings and a discovery schedule, and confirm
discovery settings.
By IP address range
Type a starting and ending IPv4 or IPv6 address and click Add to include the
entry in the Selected network segments list. To remove an IP address
range from the Selected network segments list, select the IP address and
click Remove. Click Next to select communication settings and a discovery
schedule, and confirm discovery settings.
You can set up a regular schedule for performing the discovery process. If
devices are frequently added to or removed from the network, performing
discovery on a regular basis keeps the device database up to date.
