BRPrint Auditor (for Windows^®)

The BRPrint Auditor software brings the monitoring power of Brother network management tools to locally connected machines. This utility allows a client computer to collect usage and status information from a MFC or DCP connected via the parallel or USB interface. The BRPrint Auditor can then pass this information to another computer on the network running BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web BRAdmin 1.45 or greater. This allows the administrator to check items such as page counts, toner and drum status and the firmware version. In addition to reporting to Brother network management applications this utility can E-mail the usage and status information directly to a predefined E-mail address in a CSV or XML file format (SMTP Mail support required). The BRPrint Auditor utility also supports E-mail notification for reporting warning and error conditions.
