Ju st for a brief back grou n d, the center is u sing p rin ti ng machines which are v er y sophisticated.

S ome of them are using one set of c olored toner which is very ex p ensiv e.

One simp le p rintin g error command wou ld lead to a waste of a very costly and exp en siv e toner.

Thus, the center is meticulously configured as such to prevent the possible effect of e rron eous printing command later.

• Third , to have access and control on every client’s or workstation’s paraphern alia, etc. i. e. direct send ing of messag e, disablin g US Bs or simply shutting d own the whole network clients when necessary and a lot more. dansel

When the ce nter i s setup as such , the re i s no reason why one client or workstation is left opened or unshutd own.
