1. Introduction
This section explains the merits, mechanisms and configuration of smart PrintSuperVision
(sPSV), and the contents that need to be decided before setup.
Merits of smart PrintSuperVision (sPSV)
sPSV allows devices such as printers and multifunction printers to be managed in the
following ways:
- Detailed configuration of printing limitations according to the user or document
- Acquisition and summary of various forms of information (job logs) related to printing
- Device management such as management of remaining toner and image drum
Management of Printing Limitations
• It is possible to set whether or not to allow printing for each user, document (file name), application,
etc.
• It is also possible to set whether or not to allow color printing in a similar manner.
• Printer restrictions can be set for multiple users or devices at the same time. For example, it is possible
to allow the general affairs division to print from any device but only allow the accounting division to
print from devices installed in their own division.
• A printing limit (for example a maximum number of pages) can be set for each user or device.
Job Log Acquisition and Summary
• Information including the printed date and time, user name, quantity and paper size can be acquired
and summarized in job logs.
• Job logs can be output as a CSV file for use in commercially available spreadsheet software.
Memo
A CSV file is a text file separated by commas and is a file format that is commonly used for
converting data between spreadsheets and database management software.
Device Management
• Information such as print volume, usage of consumables and status information can be collected and
summarized, and the results can be displayed on the screen or sent as an email notification.
Support for Both Windows and Mac OS X
• Both Windows and Mac OS X are supported as client environments.
