PageScope Net Care is a client-server network printer management utility included with all Konica Minolta printers. PageScope Net Care provides network managers with a single software tool enabling them to quickly and easily monitor, configure, and support all printers attached to the network. Whether their printers are all made by Konica Minolta or not, PageScope Net Care helps improve the efficiency of the network manager by relieving him or her of some of the burden associated with the administration of network devices.
PageScope Net Care can be installed on a single server computer and accessed by other clients on the network. The “single installation” design of PageScope Net Care makes it easier for the network manager to begin implementing printer management practices. The network manager controls access to the PageScope Net Care server through passwords and a “registered guest” list. (For individual network printer users seeking to monitor a specific printer, Konica Minolta provides web-based access in its network printers.)
