Image Devices Tab

You use the Image Devices tab in the Computers (SP) application to view information about image devices associated with a computer deployed in your organization.

The Image Devices tab of the Computers (SP) application displays information about the raster, paper-oriented peripheral devices, such as printers and scanners, which are connected to a computer. These devices are locally attached to the computer and are detected by the physical inventory detection tool as components of the deployed computer. Network printers are not included in this application; for information about network printers, refer to online help for the Network Printers (SP) application.

The Image Devices tab displays the following information about the selected computer:

• computer name

• computer description

• the site at which the computer is located

• role or function of the computer (The role is assigned to the computer by the discovery tool.)

The Images Devices tab displays an Image Devices table window with the following information about the image devices connected to the selected computer:

• device type

• device name

• manufacturer

You can select an image device listed in the table window and expand the row to show the following details for the selected device:

• device name

• device description

• serial number

• asset tag

• device type

• manufacturer

• make/model

• system alias of the imaging device (such as LPT1)

• current RAM size

• maximum RAM size

• whether the device can be used as a printer

• whether the device is capable of sending faxes

• whether the device is capable of scanning

• whether the device can be used as a copier

• maximum paper width the device can accommodate

• maximum paper length the device can accommodate

• the connection interface between the imaging device and the computer (such as USB or parallel ports)

• number of paper trays on the device

• color depth bit (that is, the maximum color depth that the device can process)

• vertical DPI (that is, the maximum vertical resolution in dots per inch)

• horizontal DPI (that is, the maximum horizontal resolution in dots per inch)

Data displayed on this tab varies depending on the discovery tool used to collect the data. Some data fields might be empty. An empty field indicates that the discovery tool did not collect the data or that administrators did not map the data for import into the database.

Data displayed in some fields is affected by parameters your administrator defines in administrative applications. Administrative applications determine how to display manufacturer names for image devices.

For information about a field, place the cursor in the field and press Alt+F1.
