Administrators can configure automatic e-mail alerts so that 
specified users are automatically alerted via e-mail when 
specified error conditions occur (such as low paper or toner). This 
can help reduce downtime and improve efficiencies. Similar 
competitive devices allow for up to three email recipients. 
 
 
The properties tab provides administrators with the ability to clone 
device settings from one device to another. This feature improves 
productivity and ensures that all of the devices on the network 
have the same device and security settings for added protection. 
 
 
Administrators can configure and manage both the network and 
device settings such as print protocols, e-mail, network scanning, 
and fax settings directly from CentreWare Internet Services. 
 
 
CentreWare also provides quick access links for device 
configuration, cloning, e-mail set up, SNMP, firmware, and Xerox 
technical support. 
 
DEVICE MANAGEMENT 
An efficient device-management software system is critical 
in order to take maximum advantage of a device’s feature 
set, be it a printer, fax, scanner or multifunctional 
peripheral (MFP).  
 
Device management is typically provided via a Web server 
on the device controller. This Web server is accessed 
using any desktop Web browser. The user simply enters 
the device’s IP address into the address line of their Web 
browser.  Note that administrators and office users have 
different management and monitoring needs.  
 
General Office Users 
As noted previously, end users want to know if a device is 
capable of handling a particular job, current status (such as 
“Ready”), and current supply levels (media, toner, ink), as 
well as if there are any other jobs waiting to be printed.  
 
Administrators 
The aim of most network administrators is to obtain greater 
control over networked devices without having to leave 
their own desk.  From their computer desktop, they would 
like to be able to set up the device on the network, 
establish security for IP filter ranges, apply cost-control 
measures, check supply levels, and set up automated e-
mail alerts for different staff members when problems 
occur or maintenance needs must be met. 
 
Due to the nature of a device’s Web server, this capability 
is usually limited to an individual device.  However, many 
manufacturers also include a network device- management 
fleet tool, which allows for the concurrent monitoring and 
management of multiple devices connected to the network. 
Many also provide plug-ins for the most popular IT device-
