SMARTDEVICEMONITOR/WEB SMARTDEVICEMONITOR

While Web Image Monitor manages a single printing device, the SmartDeviceMonitor utility can administer multiple devices on the network. Like WIM, SmartDeviceMonitor continues to evolve. An improved user interface enables IT administrators to easily monitor and manage entire fleets of Savin devices using simple client workstation tools. This new version also includes new functionality based on input from the field, including the ability to change and download driver default settings, see information regarding attached options, and more. These utilities also provide limited information about other vendors’ devices so that IT managers can use a single utility to monitor all printing devices on the network. SmartDeviceMonitor consists of two software components:

■SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin: A more robust utility designed for network administrators to install, monitor, and manage all networked Savin peripherals from a single workstation. Administrators may change device names or IP addresses as necessary. With the User Management Tool, printing usage can be monitored, and users accessing color printing can be restricted.

■SmartDeviceMonitor for Client: A “lite” version intended for end-users, this utility is installed on client desktops and allows users to view the status and availability of networked Savin peripherals. Once SmartDeviceMonitor is installed, an icon appears on the Windows taskbar that represents the status of the default Savin peripheral.

SmartDeviceMonitor provides the following advantages:

■Ease of Operation: SmartDeviceMonitor can be set up to automatically display the status of the default Savin peripheral, and operation is very intuitive.

■Enhanced Productivity: Network administrators can view the status of connected Savin systems right from the desktop. This eliminates the hassle of walking to a device to determine if there is a problem. End-users can determine the status of a device before sending a job for increased efficiency.

■Reduced Downtime: Users can easily select alternate peripherals if the primary device is unavailable, ensuring that documents are promptly produced.

■User Alerts: SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin provides pop-up alerts.
