Management Utility
The Remote Printer Management Utility (RPMU) is a software tool for network administrators that allows
the configuration and control of Printronix S828 printers remotely over a LAN. With this tool the installed
printers can be controlled, configured and organized easily. The main features are:
Device Discovery - Searches for the devices within a range of IP addresses.
Printer Organization - Printers connected to the network can be organized into logical groups in a
hierarchically structured tree.
Printer Status Report - Checks the printer's status and reports alarms.
Printer Configuration - Printers may be configured as needed from the administrators workstation.
Change the configuration of single printers, or simultaneously change the configuration of multiple
printers in your enterprise, anywhere, and anytime.
Firmware Updating - Provides a firmware download function to upgrade the printer's firmware.
Remote Operator Panel Management - Provides a virtual operator panel for the remotely connected
printer at the administrators workstation that allows performing all functions normally achieved pressing
the operator panel keys. The RPMU also provides the basic status management for third-party printers
compliant to the standard MIB objects. Visit our website to download this free software utility program.
