Raising Remote Printer Management to an Unprecedented Level

FULL POWER
This exceptional remote printer management tool places total control of worldwide print
operations in the IT network manager’s hands by combining a fully integrated Ethernet
adapter and Java-based remote management software. Whether you are managing one
warehouse distribution centre or a global infrastructure of printers, PrintNet Enterprise
will provide you with the control you need.
PrintNet’s
versatility
allows you to
connect your
printer not only
through your
local area network (LAN)
and wide area network (WAN), but through
your corporate Intranet, Extranet or any
secure Internet connection. This opens up
limitless possibilities for remote printer
management.
Scenario: you’re a network administrator or
IT manager responsible for setting up and
managing hundreds of printers at locations
throughout the world. Not only does
Printronix printer manager give you the
power to set up and configure your line
matrix, laser and thermal printers without
being at the printer control panel, but now
you can distribute the same setup to any
other printer performing the same functions
with a simple mouse click.
Or you’re managing output for your
company’s global SAP™ R/3® installation.
Your job is to oversee the production of daily
and weekly reports, 1,000-page reports
printed at 250 locations. Since configuring
each printer from its control panel is not an
option, you use Printronix printer manager to
configure all 250 printers instantly. Mission
accomplished.
The PrintNet Network Interface Card gives
you complete compatibility with IS Enterprise
networks by providing MIB (Management
Information Base) II support for Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
allowing you to use SNMP managers like HP
Open View, Tivoli, Computer Associates
Unicenter TNG, Sun Net Manager and Castle
Rock SNMPc.

I N S TA N T Vi s i b i l i t y
Simultaneously view the status of every managed Printronix printer
across your enterprise. All printers are fully visible via HP Open view,
Tivoli and other common printer management software.
I N S TA N T C o n t ro l
Ensure consistency of configuration and performance by maintaining
a library of saved configurations. This also prevents local operators
from making destructive changes to individual printer setups and
allows firmware updates to be broadcast simultaneously to any
number of printers across your enterprise.
I N S TA N T A l e r t s
Receive immediate notification of error conditions from anywhere
in the world and minimise downtime in your mission-critical
environments. Instant Alerts can even be configured to
automatically send notifications to a specific person via
email, pager or mobile phone.
I N S TA N T P r i n t e r O r g a n i s a t i o n
Ensure consistent firmware updates, flash file downloads and
configuration changes through a common group printer
organisation. Printers can be organised by applications, print
technology, manufacturing plant, geography or Distribution
Centre location.
I N S TA N T D i a g n o s t i c s
Perform any print management function – from configuration to
firmware download, from alert setups to diagnostic test – from
anywhere in the world using the web.
