Monitoring method and monitoring device for printing consumables, and electronic device

Abstract

The invention provides a monitoring method and monitoring device for printing consumables, which can notify management personnel in time, can supplement consumables of an image forming device in time, eliminates delayed transmission of consumable allowance information and improves the efficiency of supplementing the consumables. The method comprises: setting a first early warning value and a second early warning value, wherein the second early warning value is lower than the first early warning value; judging whether the consumable remaining amount of the monitored image forming device is lower than a first early warning value or a second early warning value, and sending out an early warning notice according to a judgment result, wherein when the consumable remaining amount of the monitored image forming device is lower than a first early warning value, a first early warning notice is sent to a first administrator; and when the consumable remaining amount of the monitored image forming device is lower than a second early warning value, sending a second early warning notification to a second administrator.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring device capable of notifying an administrator of information on the remaining amount of consumables on a monitoring device such as an image forming device connected to a network, and a monitoring method thereof. 【Background technique】 [0002] A plurality of image forming apparatuses can be connected to a network and shared by individuals on the network. In the prior art, some network image forming devices (such as network printers) are able to solve problems such as wrong paper size or when the image forming device runs out of toner by sending related information to administrators in the form of e-mail messages. Solve the problem. [0003] In the prior art, the toner of the image forming device is not notified to the administrator until the toner is exhausted, and the administrator also needs to notify the purchasing or other maintenance personnel to purchase consumables, resulting in that the image form...
