SMARTDEVICEMONITOR/WEB SMARTDEVICEMONITOR
While Web Image Monitor manages a single printing device, the SmartDeviceMonitor utility can
administer multiple devices on the network. Like WIM, SmartDeviceMonitor continues to evolve. An
improved user interface enables IT administrators to easily monitor and manage entire fleets of Savin
devices using simple client workstation tools. This new version also includes new functionality based
on input from the field, including the ability to change and download driver default settings, see
information regarding attached options, and more. These utilities also provide limited information
about other vendors’ devices so that IT managers can use a single utility to monitor all printing devices
on the network. SmartDeviceMonitor consists of two software components:
■ SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin: A more robust utility designed for network administrators to install,
monitor, and manage all networked Savin peripherals from a single workstation. Administrators may
change device names or IP addresses as necessary. With the User Management Tool, printing usage
can be monitored, and users accessing color printing can be restricted.
■ SmartDeviceMonitor for Client: A “lite” version intended for end-users, this utility is installed on
client desktops and allows users to view the status and availability of networked Savin peripherals.
Once SmartDeviceMonitor is installed, an icon appears on the Windows taskbar that represents the
status of the default Savin peripheral.
SmartDeviceMonitor provides the following advantages:
■ Ease of Operation: SmartDeviceMonitor can be set up to automatically display the status of the
default Savin peripheral, and operation is very intuitive.
■ Enhanced Productivity: Network administrators can view the status of connected Savin systems right
from the desktop. This eliminates the hassle of walking to a device to determine if there is a problem.
End-users can determine the status of a device before sending a job for increased efficiency.
■ Reduced Downtime: Users can easily select alternate peripherals if the primary device is unavailable,
ensuring that documents are promptly produced.
■ User Alerts: SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin provides pop-up alerts.
