Create printer manually

When you configure printer monitoring through the DCA agent and Cloud Connector, it will be automatically created in the portal and begin to be monitored.

However, you can also add a printer manually directly through the portal.

Who can use this feature

Users with the Admin or Create printers permissions

Instructions

1. Create the customer and the customer site

2. Access the Monitoring > Printers menu

3. Click on the ✚ button in the top right corner

4. Enter the printer information (required fields are highlighted with a red asterisk)

Note

Manually registered printers have no status until they start sending meter data automatically. To monitor this communication, you can choose to link the printer to a monitoring agent.

To do this, in the Do you want to link the printer to a monitoring agent? field, select Yes. Then select the desired agent from the list.

5. Click the Save button to create the printer and return to the grid, or the Save and Create button to create the printer and remain on the creation screen

If you register a printer manually, it will be created as managed and not monitored.
