• KONICA MINOLTA PageScope Net Care is utility software that
provides central control over printers, copiers, and other devices on a
network. With KONICA MINOLTA PageScope Net Care, you can
use a Web browser to check the status of each device on a network
and configure device settings. KONICA MINOLTA PageScope Net
Care uses SNMP, which is standard network protocol, which means
it can be used to manage KONICA MINOLTA devices, as well as
other network devices that support standard Printer-MIB. KONICA
MINOLTA PageScope Net Care is implemented based on Java 2
technologies, enabling functions and operations that are equivalent
to those found on a most platforms that support Java.
• This product is compatible with the screen reader software IBM
JAWS version 3.7.
Important!
• When using screen reader software, be sure log in to the HTML mode.
• Note that the application version of Console Tools does not support the
use of screen reader software. If you need support for screen reader
software, use the HTML version of Console Tools. See “2.4 Starting
Up Console Tools” (p. 8).
