Store Data Locally

To keep the collected data only locally, enable the Store Data Locally option. To set the storage location, you can enter a file path in the input field or you can click , the Browse for Folder button, to create or select a folder on the computer where RICOH Supervisor Data Collector is installed. Enabling local data storage may require additional disk space.

Important:
• If you enable Store Data Locally, RICOH Supervisor Data Collector does not send data to the cloud and, as a result, you cannot see the data in RICOH Supervisor. Use this option only if you have other means of analyzing data.
• Even if Store Data Locally is enabled, you must have an internet connection for your subscription to be validated.
• RICOH Supervisor Data Collector does not manage your local data storage. If you enable Store Data Locally, the data collector creates a series of files with the data collected from the printers, in the specified location, each time new data is collected. Delete or move any unnecessary files created by the data collector in the data storage location.
