Enrolling printers using the Printer Enrollment Tool

The printers must be enrolled in the Lexmark Cloud Services website before you can manage them.

  1. Run the Printer Enrollment Tool launcher.

    Note: For more information, see Downloading the Printer Enrollment Tool.
  2. Type the same e-mail address and password used to connect to the Lexmark Cloud Services website, and then click Log In.

  3. If you are managing multiple child organizations, then select an organization.

    Note: If only one organization is assigned to your account, then it is preselected.
  4. Click Next, and then from the Printer Discovery section, select a discovery type.

    • To search for all printers in your local network, select Search local network.

    • To search for a specific IP address, subnet, range, or fully qualified domain name (FQDN), select Advanced search.

      Notes:

      • The entries are not saved after the Printer Enrollment Tool is closed. To save your advanced search list, click Export. The list is saved in a CSV format.
      • To use an existing CSV file, click Import.

    Notes:

    • Printers from the Enrolled tab can be re-enrolled. Re-enroll the printer when it is not responding, or when the printer must be unenrolled from a different organization and enrolled in the current organization.
    • The Printer Enrollment Tool discovers Fleet Agent–managed printers, but they cannot be selected for enrollment.
    • The Printer Enrollment Tool discovers Native Agent–managed printers, but Native devices, enrolled in the current organization, cannot be selected for enrollment.
    • Depending on the firmware version, the printer may be enrolled using either the Printer Agent or Native Agent. For more information, see the Agent Type column.
    • We recommend using Lexmark Cloud Services to unenroll printers from their current organization before enrolling them in a new organization.
  8. Click Enroll Printers.

  9. In the Authentication for Secured Printers dialog box, do either of the following:

    • For secured printers, select the authentication type, enter the printer credentials, and then click Apply Credentials.

    • For unsecured printers, click Skip This Step.

    Note: Some printer models may have different authentication credentials configurations. Make sure that the authentication type set during enrollment in the Printer Enrollment Tool matches the authentication type configured in the printer. If the authentication types do not match, then the printer is not enrolled.
  10. Close the Printer Enrollment Tool.

  11. Notes:

Accessing the Printer Agent

The Printer Agent can be accessed from the printer’s Embedded Web Server. You can view the enrollment status of the printer and poll for new events immediately without waiting for the polling interval to elapse.

Note: To access the printer Embedded Web Server, make sure that you are on the same network as the printer.

  2. Type a unique name and description.

  3. From the Discovery Criteria tab, do one or more of the following:

    • To prevent the Fleet Agent from taking over the management of enrolled printers, disable Transfer management of discovered printers that are already enrolled through another agent.

      Notes:

      • If the setting is enabled, then polling information from the Printer Agent is stopped.
      • The Printer Agent application remains in the printer.
    • To search for all printers in your local network, set Search Type to Search Local Network.

    • To search for or exclude a specific IP address, subnet, range, or fully qualified domain name (FQDN), set Search Type to Advanced search. Do one or more of the following:

      • From the Include tab, click Add Discovery Criteria to Include, and then type the printer information.

      • From the Include tab, click Import, and then browse to the csv or txt file.

        Notes:

        • To view a sample file, click Download sample file.
        • To overwrite the existing IP address, subnet, range, or FQDN in the discovery criteria, enable Overwrite existing "included" discovery criteria.
      • From the Exclude tab, click Add Discovery Criteria to Exclude, and then type the printer information.

      • From the Exclude tab, click Import, and then browse to the csv or txt file.

        Notes:

        • To view a sample file, click Download sample file.
        • To overwrite the existing IP address, subnet, range, or FQDNs in the discovery criteria, enable Overwrite existing "excluded" discovery criteria.

      You can also export or delete discovery criteria. From either Export or Import tab, select one or more addresses, and then click either Export or Delete.

    • Select an SNMP profile.

  4. From the SNMP Profile tab, create an SNMP profile. Do the following:

    1. Click Create, and then type a unique profile name.

    2. Select an SNMP version.

      Notes:

      • For Versions 1 and 2c, type a community name.
      • For Version 3, select a security level, an authentication mode, and a privacy type.
    3. Set the discovery timeout and number of retries.

    4. Click Create SNMP Profile.

  5. From the Scheduled Tasks tab, set the Printer Discovery Task and Refresh Printer Information Task intervals.

    Notes:

    • The Fleet Agent discovers and enrolls printers based on the Printer Discovery Task interval
    • The Fleet Agent scans the printers according to the interval set in the Refresh Printer Information Task setting of the Scheduled Tasks section. The data is sent to the Lexmark Cloud Services server only if there is an alert change or toner level decrement. The data is not to sent to the cloud server if there is only page count change. However, even if there are no alert changes or page count changes, the data is sent to the cloud server once every 24 hours.
  6. From the Other Settings tab, configure the Log level and Network utilization delay settings.

    Notes:

    • Setting the Network utilization delay value below 250 (default) may impact the network performance. We do not recommend setting the value to zero.
    • The larger the delay, the longer the discovery takes to complete.
  7. Click Create Agent.
