View printer inventory

Once the printers have been configured for monitoring and read by the agent, the printers will be available in the inventory.

Who can use this feature

Users with the Admin or View printers (to view only) and/or Edit Printers (to change information) permissions

Instructions

  1. Go to the Monitorting > Printers menu

In the grid, in addition to the printer's registration information, you can view the columns:

Status

Indicates the printer's monitoring status, i.e. whether it is receiving meter data as configured, being indicated as Online if it is receiving or Offline if it is not.

If the printer has an Offline status, go to Printer with Offline monitoring status for the solution.

Manually registered printers do not have a status, so the corresponding column will only show "-".

The number of days used as a parameter to indicate the printer as inactive is configured via the business rule in the system.

Monitored

Indicates whether the printer is being monitored.

Last meter

Indicates the last period in which the printer received meter data.

To view information on a specific printer, click on the name of the desired printer.

Through the tabs, you can view:

Displays the printer's main information, such as properties data, meters and supplies in use.

The date and time of the last reading in the properties data and supplies take into account the user's time zone.

It also allows you to edit the following information:

  • Properties: name, asset number and color of the printer

  • Contact: name, email, cell phone and phone of the contact responsible for the printer

  • Location: department, site and physical address where the printer is currently located

If the data does not match the existing records, a new printer will be registered.
