Printer-Management Software Discussion

Printer-Management Software Discussion: The WORKiO DP-C401 features Internet Services, an exceptionally complete printer Web home page. Internet Services is clearly part of a well-thought-out printer-management and usability strategy. It is not an afterthought, which is the case with many competitors.

In order to view device readiness and status, users consult the printer’s Web home page, Internet Services. Here users can check if the device is ready, and the installed paper sizes and types, as well as remaining paper levels. Among many other features, there are also links to the administrator’s e-mail address.
