When using Mirror, updating the configuration and firmware on the printer is remotely managed from a centralized FTP server. Configurations can be uniformly deployed to individual printers or to groups of printers. Unique Configurations can also be targeted to printers as needed.
Through the "Feedback" feature, Administrators can easily log and monitor configuration updates on a printer-by-printer basis.
Typical uses of Mirror include:
  • configuring printers as they are first received
  • performing scheduled maintenance updates, sending firmware, fonts, graphics and other objects to the printer as needed
  • changing printer Configurations in order to move printers from one role to another
This figure provides an illustration of Mirroring.
