About Printanista

What is it?

A real time monitoring solution that reports MFD and printer information to Toshiba. This information is used to provide accurate billing and consumable usage. If you are using Printanista, Toshiba will know when you are running low on toner and ship some to your location, so your device will always have toner.

FAQs for FMAudit

What are the benefits?

If your organisation is being provided with toner as part of your contract, using Printanista will alert Toshiba when your device is running low on toner or other consumables. When an alert is received, more toner is shipped to the devices' location.

The billing process is based around the counter which indicates the total usage of the device. To be billed correctly, Toshiba needs to know what the current meter readings are. If your device is monitored by Printanista, the meters for your devices are collected. 

Is it hard to install?

No. Most installations take less than 10 minutes. It requires downloading a customised installer for your organisation and then running through the install process. Assistance is available if its required.

What information is being sent to Toshiba?

Information is gathered from the device using SNMP. This data is sent back to a server managed by Toshiba. Information such as current meters, toner levels, serial number and the date and time are sent back to Toshiba's Printanista Central Server.
