Remote Site Manager overview

The Remote Site Manager enables a site manager to monitor the status of the CX print server and other Creo color servers connected to printers on a network. It also enables you, the site manager, to operate these servers from a remote computer.

The Remote Site Manager software includes the following tools:

●The Remote Workspace tool—Allows users to open an actual workspace for a selected server on their computer and import jobs, print jobs, preview jobs, and perform certain workflows.

Several users can connect to the same server simultaneously from different remote computers.

●The EZ Connect tool—Allows the users to view updated printer status information.

Note: You can run the Remote Site Manager on your desktop while you use other applications on your computer. The Remote Site Manager does not disrupt server activity.
