Actions
Set Scope
The availability of the set scope action depends upon the program to which the printer
belongs. The set scope action may be performed on an asset regardless of its status. In
addition, you may change the scope for multiple printers at one time.
In scope printers are managed and have invoiced meters that drive reporting.
Users may not access printer details nor send remote commands for printers that are out of
scope.
If you select Set In Scope be sure to also choose a plan from the program drop down list.
Refreshing the status only updates the data in the application; it does not update the printer
information. If printer status is updated in the database and that information is newer than
five minutes, the application assumes the database is correct and does not retrieve the more
recent information from the printer. To ensure you see the latest printer information on the
Printer Properties page, let five minutes elapse after retrieving the status, re-open the Printers
Detail page and check the Status Age field on the Status tab.
Reset Printer
This action may only be performed on one printer at a time. When you select Reset Printer the
Reset Printer pop-up appears. Confirm that you want to reset the printer to continue.
Note: When you reset a printer any pending jobs will be deleted.
This action is available to all printers regardless of their status. In the Print Test Page pop-up
window, click OK to confirm you want to print the page.
Update Location
This action allows you to add or edit details about the physical location and identification of
the printer. You may only perform this action on one printer at a time. Click OK to save your
changes.
Order Supplies
The order supplies action may be performed for any in scope asset regardless of its status, if
configured for the device.
You may only order supplies for one printer at a time. When you click Order Supplies from the
drop down menu or left pane you are routed to the order page.
