Epson launches remote management for ColorWorks series

‘Traditionally, the process to onboard and manage label printers would be both time-consuming and costly – resources that IT teams do not have an abundance of,’ said Andy Scherz, product manager, Epson America. ‘Epson developed Epson Device Admin for the ColorWorks C6000-Series to enable customers to reduce IT time and cost deploying new label printers. It also allows for remote printer management and automatic alerts and updates to keep downtime at a minimum.’  

 

Available for the full ColorWorks C6000-Series line, including the CW-C6000A, CW-C6000P, CW-C6500A and CW-C6500P, Epson Device Admin remotely manages networked label printers in a distributed environment.   

 

Features include mass configuration capabilities to deploy the settings of one ‘golden’ printer to all others within a group. Create and update groups of printers by factors such as department or geographical location.  

 

Automatic email or text alerts are sent for low-ink levels, error messages or other conditions. Automatic firmware updates are conducted using user-defined time windows, so print operations are not interrupted. Detailed monitoring of all label printers on the network allows administrators to remotely identify and troubleshoot device conditions. Generate reports on usage of devices and consumables to facilitate better management and tracking.  

 

The ColorWorks C6000-Series are the first printers specifically designed as a color upgrade to black-and-white thermal transfer printers. Four models deliver high-volume color labels for production use, speeding through labels at up to 5 inches per second. The Epson ColorWorks C6000-Series printers are available through Epson’s vast network of authorized partners.
