CrownView offers a variety of
useful conveniences.
40
The primary function of CrownView is to make it easy to
know the precise status of the printer, even if it's down the
hall in another room. Without leaving their workstations,
users can view jobs pending and printed, current consumable
and paper levels, how the printer is configured, and much
more. They're capable of making real-time modifications to
printer settings, such as selecting finishing options. Password
protection can be activated by the system administrator to
prohibit alterations to such settings.
CrownView can also take a proactive communication role,
notifying users via e-mail paging of any printer offline
error condition. For example, if the PagePro 9100 N runs
out of paper or a jam occurs, predetermined addresses
will be immediately informed through the Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Another message will be sent
after the condition has been cleared.
To use CrownView for e-mail error notification, users
simply access the System Support page from CrownView's
Home page and set the requested parameters. They can
set the message to be received on any host system—even a
beeper if it supports Internet mail.
Another convenience CrownView provides is easy access
to the consumables usage page, advanced status page, and
job accounting data—all information that can be viewed
and printed for further assessment.
As discussed in the Supplies Monitoring section, the con-
sumables usage page details consumable statistics for
tracking quantities used. It displays remaining consum-
able levels, number and types of pages printed, and even
tracks simplex versus duplex pages.
The advanced status page was originally only accessible by
requesting a printout through the printer's front panel. Now
users who don't have physical access to the PagePro 9100 N
can view the status page through CrownView and immedi-
ately know every default setting available on the printer.
