What about Reader Maintainer?
Reader Maintainer has been the standard tool for configuring our print-management readers for years. With ToolSuite v5.05.04, those capabilities have not only been carried over — they’ve been significantly expanded.
Reader Maintainer is now considered legacy software. For all new projects and updates, ToolSuite is the recommended choice going forward. For legacy projects, Reader Maintainer remains available for download.
