Scanner Central Admin Agent

What is Scanner Central Admin Agent?

Scanner Central Admin is a server-client software that makes it easy to monitor and manage multiple scanners over a network from one point. This saves time and labor costs when performing large-scale administrative tasks like mass updates of scanner drivers and settings. Scanner Central Admin makes it incredibly easy to manage multiple scanners over a network by allowing administrators to install drivers and essential add-on software, perform updates, set user settings and more--all from one console. Scanner Central Admin indicates the current status of every scanner (e.g., running/idle, consumable part replacement required, error detected) together on one screen for convenient and efficient management. From that screen administrators can also get scanner details like model number and system/firmware/driver version.
