Mutoh America Inc., a leading manufacturer of wide-format printers, adds ValueJet Status Monitor (VSM) to its product portfolio.
 
VSM is a sophisticated software application offered free to Mutoh customers that is used to monitor the health and status of Mutoh ValueJet printers. This includes monitoring ink levels, heater settings, firmware updates, color output and more.
 
This smart software is exclusive to Mutoh's ValueJet printer line.
 
Printer functions are checked by VSM to ensure the printer is providing the user consistent output and notifies the operator via email or smart phone if there is a problem.
 
"Mutoh's exclusive VSM system adds to the many smart printing features that Mutoh ValueJet printers offer today" say David Conrad, Mutoh Marketing Manager. "This is just one more step Mutoh is taking to help their customers prevent down time and make their jobs easier and more productive."
 
Operators can multitask with piece of mind because VSM includes an email notification system to alert the operator to several pre-programmed messages including printer status, low ink, media end and more.
 
Through internet access, the operator can check the status of the ink level and heater temperatures from any PC that the VSM software has been installed.
 
The system is currently available on the VJ-1324, 1624, and 1608HS printers. New VSM capable printers and smart phone remote access app will be announced in the near future.
