Introduction _________________________
PrintSuperVision (referred to as PSV throughout this document) is a Windows server application
designed for managing and monitoring network connected printing and copying devices. The core
application is server-based and is accessible from any browser enabled device connected to the
network. Popular browsers supported include Internet Explorer, Mozilla 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 the 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 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 Enterprise Editions include:
• Discovers and configures devices
• Helps pinpoint devices on the network
• Assists in remote trouble shooting
• Automatically identifies device status and can email alerts
• Produces reports and automatically delivers them via email
• On-line supplies and consumable ordering (configurable by region)
