SmartDeviceMonitor comes in two versions—SmartDeviceMon-
itor for Admin and SmartDeviceMonitor for Client—and allows
administrators to discover, manage and create groups of print-
ers and multifunction products on the network. The Smart-
DeviceMonitor for Admin utility will search the network by
IP/SPX protocol and locate all of the printers on the network.
Once the devices are located, the administrator can double-
click on any device to access a window showing the status of
that device. There are three tabs displayed—Status, Congu-
ration and Job History—and the displays are the same as with
the SmartDeviceMonitor Client version. Status displays the
current status of the device; Conguration gives the adminis-
trator selections to display information about the device, the
trays available and the amount of paper in each of the tray, as
well as the options the device supports; System Info displays
basic system information about the device; Print Language
displays the resident PDL on the device; and Network I/F dis-
plays the IPX or IP information of the device. Job History dis-
plays a history of print jobs printed on the device. More infor-
mation is provided for Ricoh and compatible devices than for
other vendors’ output devices. For example, other vendors’
products will be identied, but the status information will not
be as detailed as with Ricoh products.
When using SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin, the administrator
can create groups of printers, lock the control panel, cong-
ure printer settings and manage the Ricoh Acio SP 4100N, as
well as any other compatible device on the network—printer
or multifunctional—with an embedded Web page. Energy-save
mode settings can also be adjusted, toner supply can be moni-
tored and job histories can be viewed.
