monitoring snmp app
Monitor toner and fill levels of your printers via smartphone

world innovation: The docuFORM MPS APP is here!

What are Managed Print Services?

An MPS solution enables comprehensive management of all printing systems, on-site analysis of printing behaviour and just-in-time delivery of the required cartridge. The docuFORM MPS solution also enables interaction between MPS and other modules of the Mercury Suite. This allows not only optimal management of devices, but also workflow optimization in the printing area.

New! Device monitoring via Smartphone

Until now, the operation of a successful Managed Print Services solution required the installation of a capture client on site, which always required additional hardware. With the MPS acquisition client as a real app for iOS and Android, the classic acquisition client can now be dispensed with, especially for smaller installations.

Even if there are only a few printers or multifunctional devices in your office, law firm or practice, you can now take full advantage of a Managed Print Services solution without any installation or hardware effort. All you need is a smartphone with the docuFORM MPS App in the WLAN.

Overview of toner levels, page counter and wear parts

All information about your printer can be found in the detail view in a clearly arranged display. In addition to the suply levels of the cartridges used, this also includes - depending on the device - the residual runtimes of the wear materials and residual toner containers. In addition, the level of the page counter is displayed directly for accurate accounting of print volumes and network identity information.

With the docuFORM MPS App, in addition to the information contained in the standard MIBs of your devices, you also receive the extended data of the Private MIBs, which contain additional manufacturer and device-specific information on the printing system.
SNMP MIBs are crucial for managing your network and understanding the underlying objects. A Management Information Base (MIB) contains information that is used to monitor, configure, and control a device connected to your network.

Monitor multiple locations in one app

Create different locations to get an even easier overview of your printers. For example, you can group them for the individual branches of your company, your office and home office or the individual treatment rooms in your practice.

You can name your locations and add the devices you want to monitor at that location.

The automatic search easily finds the connected output devices in your network

Find your output devices easily with the automatic search function

To add printers to a location, the app offers an automatic search function that finds and lists all devices on your network via SNMP query. You then select from the found printers those that should be monitored by the MPS app and add them to the location.

In addition, you can manually add devices that are located in a subnet, for example, by entering the IP address.

The docuFORM MPS App supports the SNMP protocols V1 and V2.

Overview of all printers at your location

The detailed view of your location shows you a list of printers that you have added to that location. In front of each printer name, there is an icon that displays the status of the printer in the form of a traffic light. This allows you to see at first glance if one of your devices has an error. By clicking on one of the printers, the detail page of this printer will open.

docuFORM MPS App uses OAuth2.0

Data protection and security

REST-API is a standardized software interface that allows you to connect and interact with the cloud. It is considered the backbone of the web and ensures platform independence and scalability. Authentication takes place via an OAuth 2.0 security server without disclosure of access rights.

As a matter of principle, customer networks may not be opened in the context of the implementation of cloud services, therefore communication may take place without exception via the secure interfaces corresponding to the worldwide standard. Active communication from outside into a customer network is not permitted.

The docuFORM cloud answers exclusively and request-specific after checking the access authorization. The customer network is never "addressed" from outside at any time.

The docuFORM GmbH hosts in own data centers and develops all products itself at locations in Germany. The app only collects the data of the print or multifunctional system that is important for the management of a print environment; personal data or user information is always excluded.

Central management and evaluation of your data with docuFORM Mercury MPS

Mercury Managed Print Services gives you transparency and control over your print , helping you to save money and increase productivity.

The print management software also supports you

  • to improve the environmental balance of your company
  • to simplify processes, such as reordering consumables
  • to optimize the total cost of managing your printers

With the MPS App from docuFORM, smaller businesses or companies with only a few printers can now enjoy the benefits of professional fleet management software without having to install a data capture client or even operate a print server. The necessary IT infrastructure is located in the cloud.

Use the professional audit tool of the docuFORM Mercury Suite to organize page-accurate accounting, the allocation of print volumes to cost centers or an automated reordering of toner. By monitoring your devices, you can quickly detect if a fault occurs on one of your devices.
