Register Devices
Printers do not appear on the main screen at initial startup.
Devices must be registered on the console by selecting printer management icon.
Add each device to the list by entering the IP address or connecting via USB.
Alarms can be set to indicate various notifications including ink error, maintenance cartridge being full, or other warnings and errors
Color Calibration Status
Run calibration and maintenance from the console for the managed systems. Calibration log history can be reviewed in the calibration tabs. You can check whether color calibration needs to be executed on the printers in the list.
From the printer list, select the printer for which you want to check the advisability of executing color calibration. Select Media Type
Setting Up Email Notifications
Once printers have been added to the printer status list within DMC, you can then configure the application to send email notifications of various events including:
• Ink warning
• Maintenance cartridge almost full
• General warning notification
• Ink error
• Maintenance cartridge full
• General error notification
Step 1: Establish SMTP communication within the mail server settings. Click File> Notification Settings > Mail Server Settings.
In the mail settings dialogue box, enter the name of the SMTP server. In most cases the default port number (25) will be suitable.
In most cases, these settings will suffice. Additional options are available to configure along with SMTP.
In circumstances when the SMTP server is reachable only through password authentication, log in credentials can be entered in the SMTP authentication portion of the dialogue box.
Once Mail Server Settings have been established, hit OK.
Step 2: Set notification conditions for scheduling and addressing email notifications.
In either the condition 1 or condition 2 tab, select notify by e-mail box.
Check the notify periodically to set the frequency of the email notifications.
