Understanding the lookup file

The file contains the values for each variable defined in the variable configuration file. These values are deployed to the printers defined in the lookup file.

The following lookup file deploys the configuration file to three printers and retains the current value of printTimeout for the third printer:

Sample lookup file 

IP_ADDRESS,variable_1,variable_2,variable_3,variable_4
192.168.1.1,"abc International",TRUE,60,"80"
192.168.1.2,"xyz International",FALSE,70,"60"
192.168.1.5,"mno International",FALSE,50,CUR_VAL

The first row contains the headers of the lookup file and the variable names defined in the variable configuration file. Use the same identifier when adding a printer. For example, if you used the printer IP address when adding a printer, then use the same when creating a lookup .csv file.

The succeeding rows are the printers where you want to deploy the configuration file and the values for each variable.

Notes:
  • Make sure that the values of the variable names have the same format as the variable names in the original .ucf or .xml configuration files. For example, if the value in the original .ucf or .xml configuration file has double quotes, then add double quotes. If the value in the original .ucf or .xml configuration file is in capital letters, then use capital letters.
  • If the value of a setting contains a back slash, then type another back slash before the first. For example, if the value is \\192.168.1.2\share, then enter \\\192.168.1.2\\share.
  • If you do not want to update the current value of a variable setting, then set the value to CUR_VAL.
