Configuration

This section provides useful information for configuring the system and includes procedures for working with data collectors and software connectors, setting user preferences and notifications, and creating locations and shifts.

Important: The configuration options you see on the user interface and the actions that you can perform depend on your user role. Roles can restrict access to certain user interface areas or limit the available actions.

For more information, see Users and Roles.

In this section:

  1. Configuring Account and User Settings
    You can manage your account and user settings using the RICOH Account Administration application. Information related to your subscription is also available.
  2. Configuring Profile Settings
    You can view and modify your profile settings from the Account menu.
  3. Configuring Data Collectors
    On the Data Collectors tab, you can configure data collectors and view useful data collector information, including the IP address, current software version, available updates, communication status, and data sources.
  4. Configuring Software Connectors
    Software connectors let you collect and display data from other applications. For example, if you have the RICOH ProcessDirector feature, you can receive data from RICOH ProcessDirector through data transmitters. To purchase the RICOH ProcessDirector feature, contact your Ricoh representative.
  5. Configuring Account Settings
    You can configure account settings on the Settings tab.
  6. Configuring User Preferences
    You can configure user preferences on the Settings tab.
  7. Configuring Notifications
    Notifications help you stay aware of what is happening in your print shop and react to problems as soon as they appear. You can set notification preferences for data collectors, printer connectivity, software updates, low printer consumables, printer errors, and idle status.
  8. Configuring Locations
    You can group printers by location and then use the locations for data filtering.
  9. Configuring Shifts
    If your print shop has work shifts, you can record them on the Settings tab. Shifts are useful for performance comparisons and for setting target metrics.
