Printer Monitoring

Configures the monitoring of up to 20 devices via a NDD Print Collector Ricoh.

Import

1. Create a CSV file containing the address of the printer you will monitor and the addresses of the printers that will be monitored.

2. Click Import File to send the file

192.168.0.1;192.168.0.333
192.168.0.1;192.168.0.222
192.168.0.1;192.168.0.111

Communication Test and Error Codes

After you make all the necessary settings, click Send to Printers The printer will perform a communication test and the ECT printer settings screen will show the result. The communication test process occurs as follows:

1. First, the module receives the configuration;

2. The printer performs a communication test with the configured server (NDD Print Host or Datacenter);

3. If the accounting is enabled, the module will generate an NPL file. This NPL file contains the last job of the day, fetched from the printer. If the Collector is working correctly and reconfiguration is needed, the module will not generate the NPL file, only the fetching of printer jobs will be validated;

4. If counters and supplies are enabled, the module will generate an NSL file with the printer's counters and supplies;

5. The module sends the NPL/NSL files to the configured server.

If all steps are successful, the ECT screen will show a "Success!" message. If an error occurs in any step, the process stops and the return message will display an error code.

If any failure occurs when importing the settings, click Save not configured, so all addresses (IP or Hostname) of these printers will be saved in another .csv file, thus preventing this process from being redone in printers where the import was successful.
