Ricoh Aficio 3228C

Device Management

Remote access to imaging devices for
monitoring, configuration, and
administration purposes is now a core
feature with the majority of MFPs on the
market today. Ricoh and its Aficio 3228C is
no different and boasts some very special
features.

Web Image Monitor

The Ricoh Aficio 3228C has an embedded
web server called Web Image Monitor.
This monitor is accessible by entering the
IP address of the device into the URL
address bar of the internet browser. When
typed, the Aficio 3228C's current device
status will be shown for both users and
administrators alike.
From the perspective
of most end users,
the two monitoring
capabilities of this
device that will prove
to be the most
valuable are: 1) the
ability to see if a
device is capable of
doing a job, i.e.,
whether it is online,
has sufficient
supplies and the
finishing capabilities,
and 2) an idea on
how long it will take
to get the job done,
i.e. what is ahead of
it in the queue.
From the home page
of the Web Image
Monitor users can
see the status of the
device, enabling
users from the
desktop to see if the
device is online and
has enough supplies

to handle the job they need without the
need for user intervention.
Why is this important? Let's say the third
paper drawer is empty and it is the only
tray capable of handling the 11 x 17 user
request. Normally the user would send the
job, make his/her way over to the device
and find the error.
This may produce a bottleneck of print jobs
backed up behind it, creating down time.
The user will then have to refill the paper
drawer — in some cases even be forced to
reprint the job as it may have stopped in
mid job. Web Image Monitor will tells uses
the status of that drawer prior to printing,
eliminating all these problems.
