Software Ver. 071.xxx.xxx.xxxxx / 072.xxx.xxx.xxxxx: Set up SMart eSolutions Correctly

IMPORTANT: Auto Supplies Replenishment (ASR) requires device connectivity. If a device loses connectivity, ASR will cease and the customer will need to place manual supplies orders. Once connectivity is reestablished, the process for automatic delivery of supplies is re-initiated in Europe with no further customer intervention. In US and Canada, ASR will resume once a manual order (phone or web) is placed after reconnection. For questions regarding ASR, contact your regional metered supplies help desk.

Note: Setting up SMart eSolutions requires knowledge of your network and network settings, including: Machine IP Address, Gateway Address, Domain Name Preferred (Primary) and DNS Server Address. If necessary, contact your Network or System Administrator for assistance.
