The Web-based PSES includes Account Manager, Authentication Manager, My Panel Manager and Net Care Device Manager, and systematically links applications, integrating and sharing them seamlessly on one server. This results in much easier operation and better-integrated management. The i-Option function was designed to offer users and administrators the ability to increase the possibilities of their office MFPs.

 

Account Manager enables aggregate analysis and management of network devices. Analysing detailed usage conditions, estimating costs, and graphing the aggregate results help to reduce unnecessary costs and to manage costs on a group basis.

Authentication Manager controls authentication data for multiple MFPs on a network and enables the simple and efficient setting of authentication data for each user. This helps to integrate and streamline user management. Function restrictions can be also assigned to each user. When linked to the external server, Authentication Manager serves as an intermediate authentication server between the Active Directory and MFPs. User authentication and function restrictions can be implemented even in environments with mixed authentication methods, such as password, IC card or biometric authentication.

• Manages up to 500 i-Option compatible bizhubs.
• Manages by group, user or device.
• Stores user and group settings and parameters.
• Stores and manages acknowledgement data for biometric, IC card, and password authentication.

My Panel Manager customises the bizhub control panel setting for each user, and simultaneously stores the customised settings in multiple bizhubs. The settings can be created from the administrator's PC screen. Linked with user authentication, the user’s customised panel can be instantly retrieved to help boost work productivity.

Net Care Device Manager is a freeware application that simplifies MFP setup and routine maintenance. It allows system administrators to efficiently create initial settings for devices managed by PSES, and streamlines device control.

LK-101 features general-purpose Web browser functions that enable PDF files to be previewed, downloaded and printed. They also include an Image Panel function that divides the control panel into three areas - input, edit and output - and allows each area to be customised.  LK-102 lets the user add an encrypted PDF generation function using a digital signature supporting AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
