LEXMARK DOWNTIME ASSISTANT Readme for version 5.2.4 1. OVERVIEW This Readme file pertains to the current release of the LEXMARK DOWNTIME ASSISTANT application. Lexmark Downtime Reports is an embedded solution that can be installed on printers that support the Lexmark Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF) v6.x. The application retrieves files from a network share or FTP destination, as well as prints jobs coming in through port 9444 and stores them in the printer hard disk. The application updates the files on the printer at a configurable rate to ensure the files are up-to-date. This feature lets users select and print the latest versions of these files without network access. 2. ASSOCIATED FILES The following files and publications are included in the release. a.
