MIBs data collection via SNMP

Accurate Print Usage Reporting Based on Printers MIBs  (SNMP Data Collection)

Print usage report is based on information collected from printers’ firmware (MIBs), it’s absolutely precise and is demonstrating a number of pages actually printed. 

MIB objects are accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from both network and local printers. Our software reads and supports all kinds of MIBs both default for any printer and manufacturer, and additional MIBs. MIBs specific for only some models and manufacturers can be configured in our system.

For accurate print data collection and analysis, MIB data should be scheduled according to customer needs.
