1 Quick Start
Many features are available to help you organize and monitor
network device information.
These features are available for starting the application,
discovering devices, and getting familiar with the user interface.
Starting and Logging in
1. Open the application.
2. If you have administrator rights, your last saved
workspace appears and you can proceed with your tasks.
If you have administrator rights, and you are starting the
application for the first time, proceed to step 4.
3. If you do not have administrator rights, the network
administrator must set up a user login password for you.
If no password has been set up, the application does not
start, and an access error message appears.
Type your password in the login text box, and click
Submit. A password is a maximum of 32 characters. A
blank password is allowed.
If your submitted password is accepted, your last saved
workspace appears, unless it is your first time starting the
application. If it is the first time, proceed to step 4.
If the password is not correct, the application displays the
dialog box and asks you to enter the password again. If
you incorrectly enter the password three times, an error
message appears, and the application does not start. If
this happens, see the network administrator about your
password.
4. If you just installed the application, and it is the first time
you are starting it, a dialog box appears after you have
started and successfully logged in. You are asked to
specify a workspace file. After you specify your
workspace file, the application opens and displays the
Add Device wizard to help you search for network
devices and create the device list.
Editing Authentication Options
If a user does not have administrator rights on the computer with
the application installed, the network administrator can set up a
KMnet Viewer 5.2 1
user login password. If no password has been set up for a user
without administrator rights, the application does not start, and an
access error message appears.
1. In the menu bar at the top left of the screen, click Edit >
Options. In the Options dialog box, click
Authentication.
2. Select Enable local password.
3. In the New password text box, type a password for a
local user. A password is a maximum of 32 characters. A
blank password is allowed.
4. In Confirm password, type the password again.
5. Click OK to save the password.
Device Discovery
Discovery is a process that checks networks for printing devices.
If new devices are found, then the application updates its
database with information about the device. This process can be
performed manually for single or multiple devices, or it can be
scheduled to run automatically according to a set schedule. It is
also possible to exclude devices from being discovered.
When the application is launched for the first time, or when a new
workspace is opened, the Add Device wizard automatically
launches.
Adding Devices
You can use the Add Device wizard to add devices to the view
list.
1. Click Device > Discovery > Add Devices.
2. In the Add Device wizard, select a method for adding
devices:
Express
Uses predefined communication settings to find
devices in the local network.
Custom
Lets you select settings to find devices on any
network.
3. For the selected method, complete the wizard and click
Finish to begin discovery.
KMnet Viewer 5.2 2
Custom Options for Adding Devices
Custom options are available when Custom is selected in the
Add Device wizard. You can select the discovery process to run
on your local network, a specific IP address, or a range of IP
addresses. Continue through the wizard to select the following
options:
On your local network
Select discovery type, TCP/IP port, SNMP options, SSL
options, and discovery start time.
By IP address
Type specific IPv4 or IPv6 addresses or host names and click
Add to add them to the Selected targets list. You can also
click Import to search for a valid IP address list (.CSV or
.TXT). An entry can be removed from the Selected targets
list by selecting it and clicking Remove. Click Next to
continue through the wizard and select TCP/IP port, SNMP
options, SSL options, and discovery start time.
By IP address range
Type valid starting and ending IPv4 addresses and click Add
to add them to the Selected network segments list. An entry
can be removed from the Selected network segments list by
selecting it and clicking Remove. Click Next to continue
through the wizard and select TCP/IP port, SNMP options,
SSL options, and discovery start time.
Automatic Device Discovery
You can set up a regular schedule for performing the discovery
process. If devices are frequently added to or removed from the
network, performing discovery on a regular basis will keep the
device database up to date.
Scheduling Automatic Device Discovery
You can set a schedule for device discovery.
1. Click Device > Discovery > Automatic
Discovery. The Scheduled Discovery dialog
box opens.
2. If there is an existing discovery mode you would
like to edit, select it and click Properties, make
your selections in each window to set up a
recurring schedule and click Apply changes.
3. Click Add to create a new discovery mode. In the
Add Device wizard, make your selections in
each window to set up a recurring schedule. On
the Confirm Discovery page, click Finish to

device is included, it is available to be found the next time
Discovery is performed.
1. Click Device > Discovery > Excluded Devices.
2. In the list, select an excluded device to include.
3. Click Include device.
User Interface
The user interface is designed to help you quickly get the
information you need about your network devices.
The screen is divided between left and right panes. On the left
pane, you can select which view appears in the device list in the
right pane. A view is a specified organization of columns and rows
(list), or a layout (map) of the device data.
1. In the device list, select the device to exclude.
2. Right-click on the selected device, and click Delete
Device.
The application offers two types of views: custom views that are
listed under the My Views heading, and standard views defined
by the application that are listed under Default Views.

network discovery. There is one row of information per device.
KMnet Viewer 5.2 4
There is one row of information per Account when Accounts
View is selected in the left pane.
Main Menu
The main menu is located in the upper left corner of the screen.
Basic operations that affect the application are in this menu. The
main menu operates like a standard Microsoft Windows main
menu.
My Views Pane
My Views are located in the left pane of the screen. My Views
are lists or maps you can create from Default Views or other My
Views. This lets you customize the type of information you want
to see. My Views are organized in a tree structure that displays
folders and My Views nodes. When you select a My Views node,
the application displays the view (list or map) in the right pane.
You can create folders to organize and manage My Views. Add
information to My Views by clicking View > Add Dynamic View,
or View > Add Manual View Using Selection.
Default Views Pane
Default Views are located in the left pane of the screen. Default
Views are standard list or map views shipped with the application.
Under Default Views, six standard Device views and two
standard Account views are available that cannot be removed.
When you select a particular default view, the application displays
the view (list or map) in the right pane.
Device List Pane
The device list is located in the right pane of the screen. It
provides device information in a customizable list or in a map
format. Information can be organized and sorted to the user’s
preference. Each row represents a device and columns represent
categories. Each device row can be expanded to display more
information.
Identifying Status Icons
In the device list, status icons provide quick information about the
condition of each device. Click the triangle icon to expand the row
and see a description of the condition. For further information,
refer to the Operation Guide.
Ready
Green icon with a white check mark. This icon indicates that
the device is ready to print, or is in the process of printing.
Error
Red icon with white ―X‖. This icon means the device is
unable to print and needs immediate attention.
KMnet Viewer 5.2 5
Warning
Yellow icon with a white exclamation mark. This icon
indicates that the device can print, but is approaching error
status.
Disconnected
Orange icon with a white broken circuit. This icon means
the application is unable to communicate with the device.
Busy
Gray clock icon. This icon indicates that the device is
operational, but occupied with a task.
Customizing the Device List
The application provides the ability to arrange the information in
the device list to suit your needs. Changes made to My Views are
saved with the view. You can update changes to My Views by
clicking Update View in the toolbar. Changes made to Default
Views are not saved after you leave the view.
Showing or Hiding Columns
Find the column to the right of where you want a new column to
appear. Right-click on the column heading to open the selection
list of columns. A column that appears in the view has a check
mark next to it in the selection list. Select a new column for the
view by clicking on the desired column name. The column will
now appear in the view.
To hide a column from the view, click any column heading to open
the selection list of columns. Click on a column name that has a
check mark next to it that you want to hide. The column will no
longer appear in the view.
Changing the Width of a Column
To adjust the width of a column, position the cursor over the
column divider until you see the double-headed arrow. Left-click,
and then drag the arrow left or right until you have the desired
column size. Release the mouse button.
Changing the Position of a Column
To move a column to another position in the view, left-click on the
desired column heading, and then drag the cursor to a column
heading name that is to the left or right of where you want the
moved column to appear. Release the mouse button.
Sorting Rows in the Device List
You can sort the information in the device list. Click the column
heading to change the sort order of the rows in the view, using the
data in that column as the sort criteria. An upward triangle
KMnet Viewer 5.2 6
indicates rows sorted in ascending order; a downward triangle
indicates rows sorted in a descending order.
Expanding a Row in the Device List
You can expand a row in the device list to reveal more information
about a device. Click the right-pointing triangle icon in the row of
the device for which you want to see additional information. The
row expands to display a 3–D picture of the device with all
installed options. Other information about the device is also
displayed, such as model, status, IP address, and print speed.
To collapse the row back to regular device list size, click the
triangle icon again.
Closing the Application Window
You can close just the application window so that the device list is
no longer visible on the screen, but the application continues to
run in the system tray. This is useful if you want to reduce the
number of open windows on your desktop, or if you are running a
task that does not need visual monitoring. In the menu bar at the
top left of the screen, click File > Close Window. To reopen the
window, double-click the icon in the system tray; or right-click the
icon, and then click Restore.
To exit the application, click File > Exit. The application saves the
currently displayed workspace before exiting. This saved
workspace appears the next time the same user opens the
application.
KMnet Viewer 5.2 7
