Introduction Xerox Device Agent (XDA) allows you to manage printing devices over the network. The application finds printers, displays their statuses, automatically collects meters from the printers, submits the meter reads, and allows for remote management of the printers. Only network connected printers are supported by Dell Toner Monitoring Service and Dell Print Page Service.
Introduction 3. Requires SNMP-enabled devices and the ability to route SNMP over the network. It is not required to enable SNMP on the computer where XDA will be installed or on any other network computers. ® 4. You must install Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 before you install the application. 5. The application should not be installed on a PC where other SNMP-based applications or other Xerox printer management tools are installed, since they may interfere with each others’ operation.
New Installation Once you receive your installation materials, you can install the software. In this section, you will learn how to: • Install the software • Change the destination folder location of the application Note: Before installation, make sure that you disable the Sleep and Hibernation modes on any machines that will be running the application in order to allow the application to collect and transmit meter information.
New Installation 3. Click View Readme to review the ReadMe file. 4. Click the appropriate radio button to either accept or reject the agreement. Note: If you are performing a manual update of the application and you have the current version of the application open, you will be prompted to accept the EULA.
