<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Plus one to what Chad said, that is how
I would do it. <br>
For six or seven locations, I would be incline to at least get a
VPN setup to each location and control them individually through
their web interfaces rather than trying to get a whole fleet
management program. The cost of such a program and the time to
figure out how to work it would probably not be worth the cost of
it for the size of the fleet. <br>
In addition, the VPN connections would be useful for diagnosing
and fixing a whole host of IT issues. <br>
<br>
Have a good day. <br>

<div dir="ltr">I don't know offhand if Ricoh has any real
management software to manage a whole fleet of the printers
(they most likely do), but at the very least, individually, you
can completely configure them via each one's internal web-based
config tools. It's all IP-based, so assign them static IP
addresses (of course) and connect to them over your VPN. Or if
you don't have a VPN between sites, if you have to, you can use
the firewall at each site to port forward a port of your
choosing to the copier's IP:80. If you have to port forward,
though, you ought to at least restrict the port forward to only
work from your central office's IP address.

<p class="MsoNormal">To all the techs for the libraries,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking into getting new
copiers for our branches and some for our central
library. The copier we are looking at is the Ricoh
Aficio MP 2050. Does anyone know of a way to central
manage these copiers with all of our libraries being
on different networks? I would like to manage all
these from here at our central office instead of
driving over to change parameters or settings. </p>
