Configuring Time-Out For Policy Updates; Creating A New Discovery Profile; Importing A List Of Printers To A Device Group - Lexmark C792 Administrator's Manual

Configuring time-out for policy updates

The time-out setting for the PolicyUpdate service determines how long the system waits for a printer to respond
after it is initially connected during a policy update.
Note: If a large eSF application or several eSF applications are included with a hybrid solution, you may need to
increase the default time-out for policy updates in order to allow enough time for policy updates that include eSF
application deployments to complete.
1
On the Services tab, select PolicyUpdate from the Services list.
2
If necessary, select Parameters from the Tasks list.
3
Type a time-out period in seconds for the time-out for each device during a policy update.
4
Click Apply.
