PRISMAsync Remote Match is a cloud-based application that can align the color, media, and workflow configuration of similar printers in the printer fleet. Printers that belong to the same printer series and have the same printer software version can be grouped in a cluster.
The PRISMAsync Remote Match user can create a cluster, define what to synchronize, decide how to synchronize, and define which printers belong to the cluster. The synchronization process is started manually at the time the printers are not used or configured.
List of printers with clustersWhen a printer is part of a PRISMAsync Remote Match cluster, you will see one of the following status indicators in the dashboard of the control panel.
