Other Features
For each added printer, you can view the recommended maintenance tasks and mark them as done. This helps to keep your machines in optimal condition.
Download a report of the printer's print job history to gain insights into the printer usage, selected configurations, material consumption, and success rates.
You can enable a firewall or set an access code PIN for each added printer. The firewall will block all unsolicited local network traffic of your printer while the PIN code restricts access to the printer settings.
Roles and Permissions
Control who has access to printers and projects within your workspace by setting specific user roles.
Smaller, collaborative groups within a larger workspace. A workspace is the highest tier of an organization, and your subscription plan is tied to it. Within the workspace, you can create and manage multiple teams to organize different projects or departments.
