    Remote reading of the meter reading

    Exists a software for remote reading of the meter reading from Konca Minolta? Sometimes there are machines with the interface using with a sim card. Thanks advanced!20210702_175539.jpg20210702_175544.jpg

    Konica offers Vcare, and some info can be emailed to users including vendor admins if the customer allows it. Ed

      Setup email notifications. Easy and free. Better is PrintFleet cost a small fee.

        Do anybody know the price for buying or renting vcare? I'm no Minolta partner so I have no chance to get it. I only want to know the price. Perhaps per mail. Thank you!

          Vcare is for NA dealers I doubt you can use it in Germany. Why not using something like PrintFleet or FMAudit?

            If the machine is setup for email usage just fill out total counter notification in admin, network.
            You can have the machine email you once a week,month, or day.
            It can email you when it needs supplies or even when it jams or has a code.
            All free.
            We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
            The medication helps though...

                Vcare is free..If you're not a dealer or direct you can't use it as you will not be able to register any S/N on the vcare server, or gather any info. Every one else is telling you to use something like FM audit..the benefit over just a email notification it you can get toner levels as well to base sending supplies. if you don't care about this info then stick with the MFP notifications. There are quite a few useful selections. E

                  Now I understand: NA means free?
