It is limited to Print Control, Scanning and CD/DVD Recording, it does not block the use of the equipment.
This mode is ideal for universities, hotels or places where it is not charged for the use of PCs Clients. You can also use it if you don’t want to use CyberPlanet as a primary charger in your business and just want it to control the use of peripherals.

Description of Peripheral Control Mode Only

In CyberClient: 

• It does not block PCs that are not in use.
• It does not control the time or amount of use of equipment.
• Child Protective Services is down.
• It remains invisible until it detects a print or scan.
• Detecting a print shows the client the preview as in Full Mode. Once the printing job is accepted or cancelled, CyberClient becomes invisible again.
• When detecting a scan, it shows the client the result of the scan and gives the option to save it. If the client accepts the scan, it adds to the total of your PC. Otherwise, the file is deleted. Once the scan is accepted or cancelled, CyberClient becomes invisible again.
• Detecting a CD/DVD burn sends a message to CyberPlanet for accounting.

In CyberPlanet:
