Chapter 1: Introduction
Profile Editor is an administrative tool that supplements the functionality of Printer
Monitor. Printer Monitor allows users to monitor printing activities for networked
Konica 7060 printers. For details, see the Printer Monitor User’s Guide.
With Profile Editor, you can:
• configure device discovery parameters for Printer Monitor (see Chapter 4)
• configure device identification settings such as name and location (see Chapter 5)
Installed Printers
In the context of Profile Editor, an installed printer is one that you can print to from your
computer. The Profile Editor finds installed, networked printers that are being printed to
via IP or IPX as follows:
• NT - LPD port local or LPD port remote with a share
• 95/98 - LPD port remote with a share on a Win NT Server or Win NT
Workstation
• IPX - If multiple printers are attached to a queue only the first print server
attached to the queue is shown
In discovering installed printers on Win 95/98 that are connected to a LPD remote share
on Win NT an additional step must be taken. This step is only required for Win 95/98
clients and not for Win NT clients. After the time the printer is installed and shared on
the Win NT machine the administrator is required to enter the IP address of the printer in
the comment field for the driver. This comment field is accessible via the General page
of the Properties dialog for the printer driver. The IP address that is entered in the
comment field must be the same IP address that was entered for the LPR port at the time
the printer was installed. This step must be executed before any Win 95/98 printers are
connected to this share. If this step is not completed before the printer is installed on the
Win 95/98 client, it will not be visible to the Port Monitor executing on that Win 95/98
client. In this case the user must enter the IP address on the Win NT machine where the
printer share exists and re-install the driver on the Win 95/98 client.
Requirements
Profile Editor has no hardware or software requirements beyond those for Printer
Monitor. The requirements are:
• Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0, or a more recent compatible version
• Processor as required by the operating system
• RAM as required by the operating system
• 10 Mb of available hard disk space
• Network:

To view or change Printer Monitor’s discovery settings:
" From the Application menu, choose Discovery Settings....
IP Discovery
In order to limit the number of printers that appear in the printer list and reduce network
traffic, specific IP Ranges can be included. These ranges will be used by the IP
Discovery Provider to find uninstalled printers on the network, only in the ranges
specified.
To add an IP address range:
1. Enter the starting address in the Start Address box.
2. Enter the ending address in the End Address box.
If you do not specify an ending address, Profile Editor creates one by appending 253
to the first three octets in the Start Address (a.b.c.253).
3. Choose Add Range.
To delete an IP address range:
1. Select the range in the IP Address Ranges box.
2. Choose Delete Range.

The Provider Name and Provider Version Number boxes display the name and revision
of the IP Discovery Provider. You cannot change these values.
IPX Discovery
In order for the IPX Discovery Provider to connect to devices on different NDS Servers,
the server names of the NDS Servers need to be supplied. A preferred server must be set
using the Novell NetWare client software.
To add a server:
1. Enter the name in the Server Name box.
2. Choose Add Server.
To delete a server:
1. Select the name in the Server Names box.
2. Choose Delete Server.
The Provider Name and Provider Version Number boxes display the name and revision
of the IPX Discovery Provider. You cannot change these values.
