What is KYOCERA Net Manager?
KYOCERA Net Manager is a server-based web application that manages your
print devices and user policies to provide secure printing and copying and to
provide accounting of print-related expenses. Efficient use of your printing
resources is provided by the Print&Follow function which allows users to
securely print to any printer managed by KYOCERA Net Manager.
KYOCERA Net Manager offers many advantages:
• Authentication - Access the devices in one step by PIN, ID card or
name/password or in a two-step authentication combination such as ID-Card
and PIN
• Security - Secure printing, data encryption and the Print&Follow function
ensure that your documents can only be accessed and printed by authorized
people
• Reporting - KYOCERA Net Manager keeps detailed statistics about all
aspects of printing and printers, scanning and copying, projects, accounting
and users and groups
• Personalized Features - KYOCERA Net Manager allows IT administrators
to show different functions and applications per user based on the user’s
requirements
• Easy Scan - One click changes the destination of your scanned documents
and their metadata. You may choose between your home folder, fax server,
or email address

User credit now managed by MS SQL Master Server
Formerly, with the Firebird Master Server, each site server managed user
credit. This meant a user could have different credit on different site servers.
With KNM 6.0, the MS SQL Master Server manages the user credit and shares
it with the site servers, so that the credit for a user is the same on all site
servers. You still have the option to allow the user to have different credit on
different site servers. You can view the credit balance of the user in the Master
Server.
