KIP Printer Status User Guide
1 Introduction
The KIP Printer Status application is the ideal solution for providing centralized status updates and information to administrators and users over a local or wide area network. The app provides immediate access to view and manage the current status of all B&W and color KIP systems on the network via a single, convenient user interface. Using standard SNMP protocol, the KIP Printer Status application will automatically detect the available KIP printers and provide valuable information such as media levels, toner status and meter readings. Add up to 10 entries to access a KIP anywhere on your Wide Area Network. KIP Printer Notifications In conjunction with the KIP Printer Status application, each KIP is capable of sending detailed notifi cations. Users receive an email confirmation that their job has reached the print queue and has completed printing; ready for pickup. If a system interruption occurs such as out of toner or paper, a detailed email will immediately notify personnel. The System K controller automates the meter reading process by transmitting meter data via email on a weekly or monthly basis. The KIP Cost Center software can interpret the meter information and provide reports for print and scan production for both color and b&w documents.
