Xerox Phaser 4510 Administrator's Guide

PrintingScout is an automated tool that is installed with the Xerox printer driver. It 
automatically checks the printer status when a print job is sent. If the printer is unable to print 
a job, PrintingScout automatically displays an alert on the user’s computer screen to let them 
know that the printer needs attention. The user can click the alert to view instructions 
explaining how to fix the problem. PrintingScout provides real-time support to users, while 
eliminating many of the help calls requesting printer support. PrintingScout saves you time for 
more critical tasks.

PhaserSMART Technical Support is an automated, internet-based support system that uses the 
user’s default web browser to send diagnostic information from their printer to the Xerox 
website for analysis. PhaserSMART Technical Support examines the information, diagnoses 
the problem, and proposes a solution. If the problem is not resolved with the solution, 
PhaserSMART Technical Support assists the user in opening a Service Request with Xerox 
Customer Support. 

PhaserSMART provides support to users, while eliminating many of the help calls requesting 
printer support. PhaserSMART Technical Support saves you time for more critical tasks.
