Introduction
PrintSuperVision (referred to as PSV throughout this document) is a Windows
server application designed for managing and monitoring printing and copying
devices. The core application is server
–
based and is accessible from any browser
enabled device connected to a network. Popular browsers supported include
Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.
The application is available in two editions: Professional Edition and Enterprise
Edition.
The Professional Edition is a subset of the Enterprise edition and shares the same
menu structure and many of the same features. Notations will be made
throughout this document to indicate differences between the Enterprise and
Professional Editions.
The only major feature in the Professional Edition that does not exist in the
Enterprise Edition is the Single-user
“
Easy Configuration
”
option. The Single-user
option can be installed in a non-server configuration on network-connected laptops
and desktops.
The Single-user Easy Configuration option allows users to check status of supply
levels, monitor consumable life remaining and collect printed page counts while
providing the ability to order supplies on line. The easy configuration option is
designed for very small offices and does not support the automatic delivery of
device Alerts through email.
Some of the common features of both PSV Professional and PSV Enterprise
Editions include:
Discovers and configures
devices
Helps pinpoint devices on the network
Assists in remote trouble shooting
Automatically identifies device status and emails alerts
Produces reports and automatically delivers them via email
On-line supplies and consumable ordering (configurable by region)
