How to Configure the Device Time
You can set the time of the print server via a time server (SNTP
server) in the network. A time server is a computer networking
device that reads the actual time from a reference clock and
distributes this information to its clients. The time server is defined
via the IP address or the domain name.
Benefits and
Purpose
If the time server is activated, all print jobs that are handled by the
print server will get a time stamp. Date and time are then displayed
under Job History.
UTC
The print server uses ’UTC’ (Universal Time Coordinated) as a basis.
UTC is a reference time and used as a time standard. The reference
point for UTC is the prime meridian.
Time zone
The time received by the time server does not necessarily correspond
to your local time zone. Deviations from your location and the
resulting time difference (including country-specific particularities
such as Daylight Saving Time) can be handled by means of the ‘Time
zone’ parameter.
Requirements
;
A time server is integrated into the network.
