CLIENT UTILITIES
In order to take best advantage of a device’s features and
capabiliites, clients need an efficient way to acess 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, fax, scanner or MFP.
Most general users want to know first if a device is
capable of handling a particular job—for instance, if it has
duplexing, color cabability, 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 toner, paper and staples, to be able to
produce their job,
Manufacturers typically provide the user with this
information either via a client software utility that is
installed on the client’s workstaion or via a printer Web
page that is accessed via the Web and a Web broswer.
Some manufacuters 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.
From the PCL printer
driver Properties menu, the
user submits their print
jobs by selecting the
correct paper size, type,
tray, and print settings.
When using the PostScript
print driver, which has a
similar same look and feel
as the PCL driver, the user
submit print jobs in a
similar manner. Users
can select the job type,
paper size and type,
simplex/duplex, paper
tray, portrait/landscape
orientation, and color or
black and white. To view
a list of current print jobs
on the job queue, users
can log on to the
CentreWare Internet Services. This will display document details such as
the author, document name, print port, and the job status.
CentreWare
Internet Services’ home page; Xerox’s Internet Services is
accessed via Web browser.
The General Status page displays the status of paper drawers (full or
empty), and a count of total printed pages. The Supplies Status page
indicates the percentage of remaining toner for each toner color.
