Ease of Use

Administrators can configure automatic e-mail alerts so that specified users are automatically alerted via e-mail when specified error conditions occur (such as low paper or toner). This can help reduce downtime and improve efficiencies. Similar competitive devices allow for up to three email recipients.

The properties tab provides administrators with the ability to clone device settings from one device to another. This feature improves productivity and ensures that all of the devices on the network have the same device and security settings for added protection.

Administrators can configure and manage both the network and device settings such as print protocols, e-mail, network scanning, and fax settings directly from CentreWare Internet Services.

CentreWare also provides quick access links for device configuration, cloning, e-mail set up, SNMP, firmware, and Xerox technical support.

DEVICE MANAGEMENT

An efficient device-management software system is critical in order to take maximum advantage of a device’s feature set, be it a printer, fax, scanner or multifunctional peripheral (MFP).

Device management is typically provided via a Web server on the device controller. This Web server is accessed using any desktop Web browser. The user simply enters the device’s IP address into the address line of their Web browser. Note that administrators and office users have different management and monitoring needs.

General Office Users

As noted previously, end users want to know if a device is capable of handling a particular job, current status (such as “Ready”), and current supply levels (media, toner, ink), as well as if there are any other jobs waiting to be printed.

Administrators

The aim of most network administrators is to obtain greater control over networked devices without having to leave their own desk. From their computer desktop, they would like to be able to set up the device on the network, establish security for IP filter ranges, apply cost-control measures, check supply levels, and set up automated e- mail alerts for different staff members when problems occur or maintenance needs must be met.

Due to the nature of a device’s Web server, this capability is usually limited to an individual device. However, many manufacturers also include a network device- management fleet tool, which allows for the concurrent monitoring and management of multiple devices connected to the network. Many also provide plug-ins for the most popular IT device-
