Remote Panel - remote access in real- time

With the Remote Panel* upgrade, compatible Brother business devices have a practical solution that enables the IT department or external IT service providers to troubleshoot remotely. The control panel can be accessed remotely directly from the IT service provider's PC.

The Remote Panel upgrade works in real time and offers a completely interactive interface to the corresponding device. IT service providers can access all functions of the printer, including the maintenance mode.

It enables quick diagnosis and problem resolution, with the ability to change settings as easily as if you were in front of the device.

*RRP: £99 excluding VAT.
