Centralized Management Of Scanners - Fujitsu fi-5950 Operator's Manual

2.17 Centralized Management of
Scanners
This section explains about managing a large number of scanners in a unified manner by providing the fol-
lowing capabilities.
 Simultaneously update settings for multiple scanners and their drivers.
Because there is no need to update each scanner one by one, a significant
reduction is achieved in the time required to update a large number of scanners.
 Monitor scanners to check for any consumable parts that require replacement, or
the occurrence of errors.
The alerts for consumable part replacement and errors are provided by scanners,
which provides an easy way of checking the operating status of scanners.
To enable the above functions, "Scanner Central Admin" is required which consists of four applications
bundled with this product:
 Scanner Central Admin Server
Install this application in the main computer that is used for the centralized management of
scanners.
By registering scanners on the Scanner Central Admin Server, you can build a system to run a
unified management for all scanners.
 Scanner Central Admin Console
Install this application in a computer to upload update modules and to monitor the operating status
of the scanners.
The administrators can perform these tasks from the Scanner Central Admin Console window,
where they can also check the alerts for consumable replacement and errors sent from the scanners.
 Scanner Central Admin Agent
Install this application in a computer connected to a scanner. It allows scanners to link with the
Scanner Central Admin Server.
Linking with the Scanner Central Admin Server will enable you to apply updates on scanner
settings, and the scanner can also send alerts on consumable replacement and errors.
 SCAModule Creator
Use this application to create update modules to upload onto the Scanner Central Admin Server.
It is only required for creating update modules.
