March 18, 2021
  • Added the Printer Error Sequence data field to improve error data accuracy when the printer sends multiple error codes at the same time. For more information, see Data Fields. (Requires the new version of RICOH Supervisor Data Collector)

    A Printer Error Sequence filter is now applied to the default widgets that show error data. When the printer sends several error codes at the same time, only the main error is included in the widget. This filter is especially useful when a main error state generates a sequence of other error states. For example, the serviceRequested and offline error codes are often received alongside the main error. The filter excludes the serviceRequested and offline error codes when they overlap with the main error.

    All the errors collected with a RICOH Supervisor Data Collector version older than 1.1.0.669 are automatically assigned to the N\A error sequence value. Make sure that you include this value in the Printer Error Sequence filter if you want to view older data.

If necessary, you can edit the printer properties and select a different time zone.
