 The unit’s document monitoring utility offers pop-up messages, including
job completion notification and error conditions.
 Color changes to the icon for SmartDeviceMonitor on the taskbar alert users
to changes in status; when users move the cursor over the icon, they get
brief information, but when users open the utility, they can obtain very spe-
cific information.
— No audible alerts are available.
 Device status is available via the taskbar, utility, pop-up messages and the
Web page, which provides the most extensive details.
 Paper size status, as well as paper and toner gauges in increments of 25
percent, can be viewed from the Web utility and SmartDeviceMonitor.
— The print drivers do not provide any consumables feedback or notification of
paper size status.
 The CDs are menu driven, and setting up drivers and utilities is very easy.
 The Quick Install CD installs the PCL 5c/6 and RPCS drivers, as well as
SmartDeviceMonitor for Clients, automatically. Furthermore, the install
utility automatically locates the unit and creates the port. Installing the
PCL 5c and RPCS drivers, along with SmartDeviceMonitor, requires just
seven clicks. SmartDeviceMonitor for Administrators must be installed
separately.
 The optional Adobe PostScript 3 driver requires a separate installation. How-
ever, the port that is created when the PCL and RPCS drivers are installed
can also be used for the PostScript driver. It takes 11 clicks to install both
the PostScript driver and DeskTopBinder Lite in one session.
 The PCL and RPCS drivers can automatically detect configured accessories,
eliminating the need for an administrator to manually specify any config-
ured options. However, users must click “Update” in order to initiate the
search for configured accessories with the PCL driver.
— The PostScript driver does not automatically detect configured accessories,
requiring administrators to manually specify configured accessories.
