know that the printer needs attention. The user can click the alert to view instructions
explaining how to fix the problem. PrintingScout provides real-time support to users, while

more critical tasks.

the problem, and proposes a solution. If the problem is not resolved with the solution,
PhaserSMART Technical Support assists the user in opening a Service Request with Xerox
Customer Support.
