SMart eSolutions and Billing Information

SMart eSolutions

SMart eSolutions is a suite of features that simplifies printer ownership and administration. It provides free services to enable administration of metered billing and supplies replenishment plans for printers on a network. The suite provides the following:

•MeterAssistant™: Meter Assistant automatically submits meter reads to Xerox from network printers. This eliminates the need to collect and report meter read information manually.

•SuppliesAssistant™: SuppliesAssistant proactively manages ink supplies for network equipment, and monitors actual usage.

•MaintenanceAssistant™: MaintenanceAssisstant provides options for troubleshooting your printer. You can send detailed diagnostic information to Xerox, start online troubleshooting sessions with Xerox, and download usage information to your computer in .csv format.

There are three ways to register the printer for SMart eSolutions:

•Automatic registration: Automatic registration is available as a standard feature on many WorkCentre/WorkCentre Pro printers.

•SMart eSolutions Windows Client: The windows client is an option for small and medium sized businesses.

•CentreWare Web: CentreWare Web is a Web browser-based software tool that installs, configures, manages, monitors, and reports on network printers and multifunction printers on your network regardless of manufacturer. It is well suited for large enterprise businesses. For more information, see www.xerox.com/centrewareweb.

Notes:

•Once you install the software, MeterAssistant is automatically enabled.
