1. Log in to Netware Administrator as a user with security equal to
“Admin” on your Novell host.

poll time. This will bring up the printer object detail pages.
3. Click “Configuration” to display the configuration page.
4. Change the “Service Interval” to the desired number (in
seconds).
NOTE: You may also want to change the “Service mode for forms”
to “Change forms as needed.” If you do not do this, the
Ethernet Interface will need to poll the file server twice as
much to get all the information it needs.
5. Repower the Ethernet Interface by turning the printer off and on
to make the changes take effect.
