Customizing the home screen for a device group

From Lexmark Management Console, click the Device Groups tab.

From the Device Groups section, select Print Release.

From the Tasks section, select Home Screen.

Click the tab for each device class that you want to customize.

Select Use this home screen as part of the device groups policy.

Configure the settings.

• For touch‑screen printers, do the following:

  1. In the Layout menu, select the number of buttons to include.

  2. If necessary, select a page, and then select a button.

  3. In the Action menu, select an action for the button.

     Notes:

     • Make sure that an action is selected for all the buttons that you want to appear on the home screen.

     • If you have customized the home screen in your previous sessions, then reset the actions of the buttons on all pages before applying the new settings. Standard functions such as copy, fax, and email do not automatically appear on the home screen. For these functions to appear on the home screen, assign an action.

  4. If necessary, specify the details of the action. Do any of the following:

     • To track copy jobs, select the icon that you added for Copy, and then in the Action menu, select Copy + Profile. In the Profiles menu, select CopyTrack.

       Notes:

       • If you are using Device Usage to track copy jobs, then see Configuring Device Usage. This setting does not override the copy configuration and only sets the Copy icon to use the Copy function. We recommend using Device Usage if you are not using quotas or do not want to use any of the Advanced Copy features of Print Release.

       • When tracking jobs with quotas, use CopyTrack. Select the icon that you added for Copy, and then in the Action menu, select Copy + Profile. In the Profiles menu, select CopyTrack. To track canceled copy jobs, Device Usage must also be installed with Copy Track Cancel enabled. For more information, see Configuring Device Usage.

       • To track copy jobs without quotas, do not override the copy configuration. Set the Copy icon to use the Copy function.

     • The printer can automatically populate the authenticated user's email address in the From and To fields of the email. Select an icon for Email, and then in the Action menu, select Email + Profile. In the Profiles menu, select EmailTrack.

       Note: The EmailTrack profile also tracks the email transaction, so if you select it, make sure that you clear Track Email within the Device Usage configuration.

     • If you want to track outgoing fax jobs, select an icon for Fax, and then in the Action menu, select Fax + Profile. In the Profiles menu, select FaxTrackAnalog or FaxServerTrack.

  5. Select the remaining button.

  6. In the Action menu, select Single Profile.

  7. In the Profiles menu, select Print Release.

     Note: To use the Scan to Network application, select Scan to Network as the profile.

• For non‑touch‑screen printers, do the following:

  1. In the Layout menu, select Custom.

  2. Following the list of buttons, click Add.

     Notes:

     • The only action available is Single Profile. You cannot modify other menu items on a printer without a touch screen.
     • To remove a button, select it in the list, and then click Remove.

  3. If necessary, type a custom text.

  4. Select a profile to associate with the button.

Configure the remaining buttons on the home screen.

Click Apply.
