Preferences
To set the user's preferences go to menu bar Options/Preferences. A dialogue will show up. To keep everything clear we tried to reduce the setable
options to a minimum and preset all kind of settings with the most applicable values.
The preferences dialog is divede in four tabs.You may set the following preferences:

Picture 1: First tab with basic settings
- Language selection
Select a language with which your cab Network Manager should the next time
start up.
- Save printer overview on exit
Automatically saves the current printer information to your .ini file on program exit to restore it the next time you start.
- Expand a printers setup tree
Automatically expands the setup tree in the Setup module as started..
- Update synoptical table
With deselecting the option only the marked printer before an action will be updated. This option will speed up the interactivity but will reduce the security. So you have to keep in mind that not every printer will be checked for its status! The option is per default marked so every printer in the list will be checked for its status after an action like entering a printers setup menu or firmware update.
The netsearch option, adding a new printer and the multi firmware and bootloader update are excluded from the option. So every printer in the list will be ask for its status after one of those actions.

Picture 2: Networking options
- IP base address and subnet mask for network search
Defines the network topology of your network.
If you are not sure what to enter here ask your network administrator.
- Network retries
Number of retires for reaching an printer for executing commands over the
network like resetting printer or printing selftest.

Picture 3: SNMP configuration
- SNMP Configuration
After enabling the SNMP Trap Daemon it will listen for incoming traps when you start the cab Network Manager. With the "Show SNMP Trap" option incoming traps will be shown in a additional dialogue. The option "Log traps" allows to automatically write incoming traps into a file. The log are split monthly. The "Log file" option is the path to save the log.
