    [Misc] Software to auto send meter & supply alert ?

    Is there any software I can install or use to read canon meter and supply remotely ?
    I have contacted a few vendor providing the software but their charges is too high.

    Any open source or guidance this can be done with charge by vendor per copier ?

          Canon we have around 80+, they are charging meter and supply alert module with seperate price.
          And there are a monthly "platform fee" too.

          It cost around 5% of all my meter value.

              For KonMin we use PrintFleet. It does charge small amount of money but not much and in most cases we manage to persuade clients to buy it. It does good job from service point of view. Easy to setup and manage. Imho no free software deserved my time.

                          Maybe someone will be interested.

                          The post is from a few years ago, but I think someone may be interested in the possibility of receiving copy, print and scan counters from Canon and KM devices using only the configuration directly on the devices. In the case of Canon devices, counters are sent regularly by e-mail. We provide an account for testing.
