Maximum Uptime Thanks to Clear Real-time Status
No matter how many printers you manage across how many global locations, a dashboard with red, yellow, and green icons provides real-time status updates for each printer. Now it's easy to identify and diagnose issues to maximize uptime and employee productivity. Printers marked with a red icon require immediate intervention, with a short text indicating the nature of the problem, such as battery status or printhead error. Yellow icons signify a warning or an impending issue that requires attention; again, text explains the problem, for example, that the printer has been paused or the operating temperature is too high. A green icon indicates that the printer is operational and online.
Improved Security and Custom Permissions for Printers
Integrated Security
Thanks to direct, secure, and encrypted printer connections, confidential data is protected at all times, ensuring compliance with IT standards.
Easy Management of Key Label Objects
Integrated font and graphic conversion simplifies the management of objects on label templates, such as fonts and graphics, and optimizes print times.
User Roles for Granular Permission Control
Permissions allow you not only to control who can access printers but also to govern the scope of that access. Through single sign-on, you can define settings and tools for any group of employees, such as administrators, technicians, and users. For example, you can grant administrators access to all tools and settings, while technicians only access settings and tools relevant to daily maintenance tasks, and users can only view settings.
