JDF JMF is the standard that many printing machines use to exchange job data. With JDF JMF, Scout MES receives the device status and job information over your factory LAN.
What data Scout reads via JDF / JMF
- device status
- job queue
- job name and progress
- notifications
How the connection works
The device must be reachable in your factory LAN. SCT (Scout Configuration Tool) runs as Windows services on a computer in your network and sends the data to the Scout server over HTTPS, so you do not need to open any inbound ports. We install and configure SCT remotely. You prepare a Windows computer in the LAN and send us the list of devices.
Frequently asked questions
Device status, job queue, job name and progress, and notifications.
We do, remotely. You prepare a Windows computer in your LAN and send us the list of machines; we install and configure SCT and connect the machines. To add a machine later, you write to us and we change the configuration remotely.
No. Scout only reads data. It does not control the machine.
