The system administrator (and anyone the administrator
wishes to designate) can then perform functions such as:
retrieve robust reports on printer usage directly from the
printer, update the settings of one or many network print-
ers simultaneously, and manage MINOLTA-QMS printers
as well as some Minolta copiers and other manufacturers’
network printers from the PageScope utility.
In addition to these common tasks, PageScope delivers a
wide variety of benefits to its users.
•Auto-discovery: Once started, PageScope seeks out all
SNMP-compliant TCP/IP printers on the network.
Auto-discovery of printers makes installation and con-
figuration of new printers easier, especially in networks
that span a large area.
•Prevent Changes to Printer Settings: System adminis-
trators can use PageScope to lock the console panel on
MINOLTA-QMS printers. This disables the keys on the
printer’s control panel and prevents anyone from using
the panel to make any change to the printer. The
administrator and registered users of PageScope may
still make changes remotely.
•Change Printer Settings Remotely: The system admin-
istrator can make changes to the default settings of any
printer discovered by PageScope or any newly installed
printers. Using PageScope, the administrator may
establish a new IP address for any printer on the net-
work by matching the MAC address for the printer.
•Organize Printers in Groups: The system administrator
can organize the network printers into smaller groups
of printers. This facilitates easier management of large
networks. The administrator can change this view
dynamically during a PageScope session.
•Group Settings: By establishing groups of printers, the
system administrator can view and edit settings for simi-
lar printers. The grouping feature of PageScope allows
