Setting up the role for the printer

Notes:

• Before you begin, make sure to set up the master printer first, then the backup printer, and then the client printers.
• If a master printer has a registered client printer, then a backup printer is required.
• A client printer requires a master printer and a backup printer.
• A license is required. For more information, contact your Lexmark representative.

1. From the Embedded Web Server, access the configuration page for the application.

2. In the User Authentication section, set Card Validation to Printer-based.

3. In the Printer-based Card Validation section, select a role for the printer.

   • Master—Maintains a list of registered users.

   • Backup—Stores a copy of registered users from the master printer. If the master printer is offline, then the backup printer functions as the master printer.

   • Client—Lets users badge in, although authentication occurs at the master printer. This printer does not store user information.

   Notes:

   • If you have one printer, then set it as the master printer.
   • If you have two printers, then set one as the master printer, and the other as the backup printer.
   • If you have three or more printers, then set one as the master printer, one as the backup printer, and the rest as client printers.

4. Type the host names or IP addresses of the master printer and the backup printer.

   Notes:

   • When setting up a backup printer, the host name or IP address of the master printer is required.
   • When setting up client printers, the host names or IP addresses of the master and the backup printers are required.
   • Before assigning a client printer to a new master printer, delete the client printer from the old one.
