Device Management

Remote management of the IBM Infoprint 1532 Express can be accomplished through the device’s embedded Web Server. From their browsers, administrators can monitor resource levels (toner, paper, fuser), configure network and security settings, check print statistics, and establish email alert conditions.

Two features that we would have like to have seen in its Web implementation are direct printing of files — the same formats available through the DragNPrint — and access to stored jobs on the hard drive. However, these minor deficiencies are more than made up by IBM’s free comprehensive remote management software, called MarkVision Professional.

MarkVision Professional:

The home page for the IBM InfoPrint series displays the device’s current status along with paper levels and toner status.

The IBM Infoprint 1532 Express comes with a powerful Windows-based management utility called MarkVision Professional. BERTL has always been impressed with the level of functionality, integration and desk-based management capabilities available to the end user (and the IT Manager) through MarkVision Professional.

Acting like a sophisticated NMS — e.g., Tivoli and HP OpenVue — MarkVision Professional lets administrators organize printers and MFP devices into logical categories based on MarkVision’s internal SNMP-based fields. Using a folder metaphor, administrators can then quickly navigate to areas of interest. For each folder, they can choose filter criteria from a set of static fields (location, paper size, etc.) or dynamic ones tied to status or resource levels. Since sub-folders inherit the parent folder’s filter settings, administrators can create a hierarchy of device groupings — e.g., printers, mono

printers, mono printers within the sales department, etc.
