Print Management lets administrators control whether jobs are sent to the server from the load balancer.
Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the System tab.
Select a server.
Click Set Online or Set Offline.
| Note: Set Offline still allows administrators to stay connected to the server. |
| Note: Before changing the settings, contact Lexmark Help Desk to make sure that the change is appropriate and necessary. |
During the initial installation, your Lexmark Integration Specialist configures the settings of the solution to meet the needs of your environment. If you need to modify the settings because of user feedback or configuration changes within your environment, then do the following:
Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Solutions tab.
From the Solutions section, click PrintReleasev2.
From the Tasks section, click Configuration, and then change the settings.
Click Apply.
When you expand to other departments or locations, you need to add devices to the solution. Before adding devices to the solution, make sure you have obtained licenses from your Lexmark Technical Program Manager.
Typically, you need to add devices to the existing device group to have the same local settings as all other devices in the group. Creating groups also lets you better organize all your devices, such as by location, and modify different configurations in the local settings, such as Authentication Method, Print All Settings, and Keypad Only Device Settings.
Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Device Groups tab.
From the Device Groups section, click Add, and then type a name for your device group.
| Note: If you want to use the existing group, then select the name of your device. |
From the Tasks section, select Discovery Profiles.
In the address field, type the IP address of the printer, and then click Add.
Notes:
Click Discover.
From the Discovery section, select the Discover new devices only check box, and then click Discover.
Click Done.
To verify that your printer is successfully added, click Summary or Discovered Devices from the Tasks section.
When new printers are added to the solution, you may need to configure the home screen if your printer is part of a new device group or if your printer is a different model from the previously configured printer. Because different device classes have different capabilities, a separate custom home screen must be configured for each device class. For a list of supported printers in each device class, see Supported printers.
Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Device Groups tab.
From the Device Groups section, select a device group you want to configure, and then click Home Screen from the Tasks section.
From the Home Screen section, select the type of printer you want to configure.
| Note: Make sure to select the Use this home screen as part of the device group’s policy check box. |
If you have not configured your home screen, then select the number of buttons you want to appear on your home screen from the Layout menu.
Assign a button, action, and profile to each function.
Function | Action | Profile |
|---|---|---|
Copy | Copy + Profile | CopyTrack |
Fax | Fax + Profile | Select either of the following
|
Email + Profile | EmailTrack | |
Ftp | Ftp + Profile | |
Print Management | Single Profile | Print Release |
Scan to Network | Single Profile | ScantoNetwork |
| Note: Unassigned buttons do not appear on the home screen. |
Click Apply.
Before you begin, deploy the applications to the printer. Configure also the deployment and the home screen settings of all supported applications. For more information on deploying the applications, see the Deployment White Paper that came with the applications.
Access Lexmark Management Console from your web browser, and then click the Device Groups tab.
From the Device Groups section, select Print Release.
From the Tasks section, select eSF Configuration, and then configure the deployment settings in the following order:
deviceusage
card reader drivers: keyboardreader, omnikey5427ckdriver, ominikeydriver
advancedprompt
IdleScreen
badgeauth or cardAuth
mobileAuth
| Note: By default, the compatible Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF) level and the recommended deployment order are installed. |
From the eSF Applications section, do one or more of the following:
To change the deployment order, click the up and down arrow buttons.
To remove applications from a policy update, from the “Deploy to” section, clear the check box corresponding to the application.
Click Save Settings.
From the Tasks section, click Policy Update > Update Policy.
| Note: The deployment can take from 1 to 2 minutes. For more information on how to improve the policy update performance, see Configuring chunk size for device discovery and policy updates. |
Click Done.
Access Lexmark Management Console from your web browser, and then click the Solutions tab.
From the Solutions section, select PrintReleasev2.
From the Tasks section, select Security Setup Files, and then configure the settings.
