4.2.1MarkVision™

MarkVision™ by Lexmark is an integrated software for managing printers, stored in the “PrintPartner Software CD- ROM” which comes with the printer. It has the following main functions:

Monitoring the printer

Displaying the printer status and features (including options) and statistics

Providing the printer control panel on the computer’s screen (remote control panel)

These functions are most effective and valuable for remote printers in network environments.

MarkVision™ is automatically activated when an abnormal condition occurs in the printer. It operates in Windows 95 environments only.

The remote control panel is quite a nice function that enables the user to easily and remotely operate the printer even if the printer is set up remotely. MarkVision™ displays the printer control panel on the computer’s screen and gives the user the exactly same functions as available with the control panel of the printer. The user can perform a func- tion by clicking a button on the computer’s screen without pushing a button of the printer’s control panel.
