Xerox Remote Print Services
Your press is automatically installed and configured with Xerox Remote Print Services
(also referred to as SMart eSolutions). These services automate several activities
associated with managing Xerox print devices on a network. They include:
• A secure internet connection between the press and Xerox using Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocols and 256-bit encryption. This ensures your information is protected.
Only press performance information is sent to Xerox through this connection.
• Maintenance Assistant: This feature provides a quick identification of potential
problems. It sends specific service data to the Xerox Service representative for accurate
diagnosis of problems. It also offers faster resolution of issues (less time than sending
a Service representative).
• MeterAssistant
®
(Automated Meter Reads): This feature automates the process of
collecting and submitting meter reads for tracking and billing of actual Xerox press
usage (not estimating usage). It generates and sends current meter reads directly
to Xerox, eliminating this time-consuming activity from the operator.
• SuppliesAssistant
®
(Automatic Supplies Replenishment): This feature automatically
orders certain supplies for your press based on your actual usage. It saves time by
eliminating the need for you to manually place an order and manage your supplies
inventory.
Xerox Remote Print Services can be deployed using several methods. This guide describes
the Direct Connect model on the press, which provides a secure transmission of press
status information back to Xerox for support.
