Installing and updating scanners

Easily install and update drivers, essential software and settings for multiple scanners at a time with this function. This is especially useful when introducing a large number of scanners in multiple places, where installing each scanner one by one in each place would be very time-consuming.

Monitoring scanners during operation

Conveniently check the current operating status of scanners. This function enables administrators to monitor the status of every scanner in the network in real time, and be notified when an error occurs or when a consumable part needs replacement. This ensures that the scanning environment is always maintained as comfortable for all operators.

A dashboard provides a summary of scanner information, such as the total number of sheets scanned and the status of scanner maintenance. Administrators can grasp the information for multiple scanners at a glance and take the next action immediately.

Easy management and maintenance of multiple scanners

The PaperStream Central Admin can centrally manage a large number of scanners. Its function checks the scanner information, such as model name, system, firmware, and driver version, that is automatically registered to the application when connected to the network. Sorting the scanners by department allows the individual departments to update their own scanners.

Seamlessly centralized management with Gate Console function

The Gate Console function is useful when managing multiple PaperStream Central Admin applications with more than 1,000 scanner units. Administrators can centralize scanner management efficiently, especially when the PaperStream Central Admin application is installed on multiple servers individually. They can register instances of the PaperStream Central Admin into a single main instance to oversee the entire operation. This allows for updating all scanners simultaneously and collecting statistical information logs in one go.

User-friendly design with an intuitive interface

The PaperStream Central Admin comes with a much simpler user interface, providing ease of use for centralized management tasks such as updating scanners, firmware, drivers, and more. Even when errors occur on the scanners, administrators can check the error on the Event Log tab of the application and directly jump to the page associated with the error in the Error Recovery Guide*. This helps save time by avoiding the need to look up the required page from the table of contents.

*Error Recovery Guide needs to be installed in advance.
