Configure printer supplies

Once the DCA and Cloud Connector agent is installed and enabled, operational data capture begins and printer supplies monitoring is activated. From there, you can use all the platform's intelligence to predict replenishments, analyze consumption, schedule purchases, identify waste, and avoid premature exchanges.

NDD Orbix automatically recognizes and manages the main types of supplies used in corporate printing environments. These are:

• Toner: fine powder used in laser printers to form text and images on paper.

• Ink Cartridge: cartridge that stores liquid pigment- or dye-based ink, used in inkjet printers.

• Drum/Photoconductor: a light-sensitive component coated with a photoconductive material that reacts to light and toner in laser printers.

• Fuser: a component of laser printers that applies heat and pressure to permanently fix the toner to the paper.

• Maintenance Kit: a set of parts and supplies designed to ensure the efficient operation and maintenance of the printer.

• Developer: a substance composed of magnetic particles used in laser printers to charge and transfer toner to the photoconductor drum.

• Belt: a thin, flexible belt responsible for transferring toner from the print units to the paper in color printers.

This configuration step is the starting point for using all of the intelligent features of NDD Orbix for supply management.
