PrinterMap User Guide
The Topology is a map of discovered network printers represented as icons.
Printer specific actions are launched from the PrinterMap Topology window. The
status, vendor and in some cases printer model are ascertained from the Topology
window.
NOTE:
The topology layout depends on which attribute is selected from the
Attributes list and whether icon sorting is enabled or disabled. In
general, when icon sorting is enabled, icons are arranged in order from
highest to lowest value. For example, the Status attribute displays icons
from Red > Yellow > Green > Blue (highest severity to lowest). The
Vendor and Model attributes are sorted alphabetically. Paper, Toner,
and Lifetime Impressions are displayed in order from the printer with
the most to the printer with the least.To view one or more printer
attributes when sorting is enabled, highlight the printer(s) by selecting
them before changing attributes. This provides a visual cue about the
new topological printer location.
The Attributes list box allows printer attribute selection which is displayed
beneath all printer icons in the topology area. The available printer attributes are
listed and described in the following table.
