Overview
This section explains about managing a large number of
scanners in a unified manner by providing the following
capabilities.
z Simultaneously update settings for multiple scanners and their
drivers.
Because there is no need to update each scanner one by one, a
significant reduction is achieved in the time required to update a large
number of scanners.
z Monitor scanners to check for any consumable parts that require
replacement, or the occurrence of errors.
The alerts for consumable part replacement and errors are provided
by scanners, which provides an easy way of checking the operating
status of scanners.
To enable the above functions, "Scanner Central Admin" is
required which consists of four applications bundled with this
product:
z Scanner Central Admin Server
Install this application in the main computer that is used for the
centralized management of scanners.
By registering scanners on the Scanner Central Admin Server, you
can build a system to run a unified management for all scanners.
z Scanner Central Admin Console
Install this application in a computer to upload update modules and to
monitor the operating status of the scanners.
The administrators can perform these tasks from the Scanner Central
Admin Console window, where they can also check the alerts for
consumable replacement and errors sent from the scanners.
z Scanner Central Admin Agent
Install this application in a computer connected to a scanner. It allows
scanners to link with the Scanner Central Admin Server.
Linking with the Scanner Central Admin Server will enable you to
apply updates on scanner settings, and the scanner can also send
alerts on consumable replacement and errors.
z SCAModule Creator
Use this application to create update modules to upload onto the
Scanner Central Admin Server.
It is only required for creating update modules.
For more details, refer to the Scanner Central Admin 4.0
User’s Guide.
