Surveillance Tool (Net Admin)
The Surveillance Tool monitors printer statuses. Unless otherwise specified, this chapter explains operations and details in Administrator mode.
In Administrator mode, all features provided by the Surveillance Tool are available. While in User mode,
available features are limited. By checking [Use password to log in] on the [Management Options] screen, users can be identified either as the Administrator or as the User at the startup of the Surveillance Tool. When [Use password to log in] is not checked, the Surveillance Tool always operates in Administrator mode. If there is a possibility that the User may use a computer on which the Product is installed, check [Use password to log in] to identify the User on the [Login] screen.
‘Starting from [Login] Screen’ ‘Login in Administrator Mode’ ‘Management Options (Effective only in Administrator mode)’
Surveillance Timing
Surveillance timing and notification method of the Surveillance Tool greatly differ depending on the operational conditions.
When an icon is displayed in the task tray:
Only monitors trap notifications from the printer.
When the [Net View] (hereinafter referred to as ”List View”) (Page 27) screen is being displayed:
Performs [Trap Notification] and [Polling Surveillance] from the printer and updates information on the printer list on the List View screen.
When Printer Monitor (Page 37) is in operation:
Performs [Trap Notification] and [Polling Surveillance] from the printer and updates information in the printer monitor.
Supplemental explanation:
For the setting of [Polling Surveillance] and [Trap Notification], refer to ‘Surveillance Options (Effective only in Administrator mode)’ (Page 33).
Trap Notification
The following printer errors can be monitored using [Trap Notification].
Paper end, ribbon end, ribbon error, head open error, command error, communication error, paper jam,
head broken elements error, cutter error, excessive head temperature error, cover open error, memory error, RFID error, print error
Supplemental explanation:
When [E-mail] is selected for [Notification Method], a trap notification for memory error and RFID error can be sent by assigning them to [Printer Error] and for ribbon end, to [ribbon error]. A print job end cannot be monitored using [Trap Notification].
Cautions for Using Trap Notification
By enabling [Trap Notification] on the [Surveillance Options] screen, a trap notification from the printer can be monitored except for the following environment:
Firewall setting of the Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7/8/Server 2008 R2 is blocking trap
notifications.
Software with commercially available firewall function is installed. When the SNMP Trap service has not been installed. When the SNMP Trap service is disabled.
When the Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7/8/Server 2008 R2 firewall function or software with a commercially available firewall function is installed, clearing the block on trap notification from the printer enables [Trap Notification].
17
The following procedure explains how to change the Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7/8/Server 2008 R2 firewall setting. For the commercially available software with the firewall function, refer to its operation manual. In the case the SNMP Trap service is disabled, it is necessary to select the [Control Panel] – [Administrative Tool] – [Service] and enable the [SNMP Trap Service]. To always use the trap notification, change the [SNMP Trap Service] settings so that the service is started at the time of a start-up of the PC.
