CLIENT UTILITIES
In order to take best advantage of a device’s features and
capabilities, clients need an efficient way to access and
monitor the device. Indeed, an efficient device-management
software system is critical in order for a client to take maximum
advantage of a device’s feature set, be it a printer, scanner or
multi-functional device.
Most general users want to know first if a device is capable of
handling a particular job—for instance, if it has duplexing, color
capability; supports specific paper sizes, or provides certain
document finishing, such as stapling or saddle-stitch booklet
making.
Second, users want to know a device’s current status—if it is
ready to print or is offline, for instance. Third, they may also
wish to know whether it is equipped with sufficient supplies,
such as ink, paper and staples, to be able to produce their job.
Manufactures typically provide the user with this information
either via a client software utility that is installed on the client’s
workstation or via a printer Web page that is accessed via the
Web and a Web browser. Some manufactures may also
provide software that automatically indicates (via a pop-up
window) when the user’s job is completed or if there is a
printer problem.
With a computer connected to the printer via local area
network, Users can check the printer status, change the
settings of a job, and perform other operations.
The [General] screen within the RISO Console displays the
printer status. This screen displays information on the machine
and its ink and paper consumable levels.
The [Details] screen displays the total number of printouts
and copies and the number of printouts by paper size.
Users can click on the CSV link to save the total count and
details to a computer as a .CSV file.
The [Limit] screen (button) is displayed when a quantity
limit has been specified for the user logged in. You can
use this screen to check the quantity limit specified by the
administrator and the current print/copy count.
The [Report] screen displays the total counts for
monochrome and color jobs for accounting purposes.
Within the RISO Console’s Admin mode, administrators
can configure the User Control, System and Printer device
settings.
