System Updates
User Addendum
System Updates is a print server service that keeps the system software on your print server
up-to-date with the latest Microsoft security updates. It runs in the background on
the print server and automatically checks for updates by contacting an update server
periodically (every 24 hours by default) through the Internet. If one or more updates are
available, System Updates alerts you to download and install the updates, or downloads and
installs updates automatically without any user interaction. You can turn off automatic
checking and use System Updates to check for and install updates manually at any time.
System Updates runs on print servers running Microsoft Windows XPe.
