A method and device for monitoring hard copy tasks

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for monitoring hard copy tasks. The method and the device are used for improving the error correction accuracy and the execution efficiency of the hard copy tasks. The method comprises that a management control server receives a hard copy task request sent by a user through a client, and determines hard copy devices selected by the user according to notices at hard copy device sides; sending hard copy task instructions to the hard copy devices is triggered based on the hard copy task request; and task state report returned by the hard copy devices are received and recorded. In this way, through the task state reports returned by the hard copy devices, the management control server can monitor the working condition of each hard copy device, further sufficiently grasps the execution result of the hard copy task instruction and timely discovers hard copy task interruption / fail; moreover, the task state report is recorded; the management control server can read the reports conveniently in real time; and the hard copy tasks can be continued timely.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hard copy, in particular to a method and device for monitoring hard copy tasks. Background technique [0002] With the deepening of information management in various enterprises and institutions, hard copy (Hard Copy) equipment has become an indispensable part of modern office, and it has attracted more and more people's attention because of its advantages of fast, convenient and easy to operate. Among them, the so-called hard copy equipment refers to: printers, copiers, scanners and fax machines and so on. [0003] In practical applications, the above-mentioned hard copy devices are usually monitored by the management control server. In this way, not only human resources can be saved, but file security can also be ensured. [0004] For example: taking the hard copy device as a printer as an example, the employees of the company output all the files to be processed to the management control server throug...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in practical applications, when using hard copy equipment, the hard copy equipment cannot continue to work due to the lack of paper in the printer, the lack of paper in the copier, the lack of ink in the ink cartridge, and the wrong parameter settings. Artificially find the task breakpoint of the hard copy device, and then artificially control the hard copy device to continue working according to the found task breakpoint

[0006] Obviously, artificially finding task breakpoints will greatly reduce the efficiency of task execution, thus affecting the execution of the entire hard copy task
