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®: MeterAssistant 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: MaintenanceAssistant 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.
