Finding the devices you want

There are numerous ways to find devices using MarkVision. You can search for one device using specific criteria, or multiple devices using a variety of methods.

Note: MarkVision only recognizes devices that have been discovered using the Device Discovery task (see Adding and removing devices), or Quick Find by Address. Once MarkVision recognizes a device using one of those methods, that device can later be found by its other attributes, such as its serial number or a property tag.

Here are some suggested methods for finding one or more printers in MarkVision:

•If you know a specific setting for a printer, you can use this attribute to find it. For example, you can find a printer using its IP address, name, serial number, or a property tag. First, select a task to perform. Using the Quick Find tab, pick the attribute you want to use in your search from the Select a field to search list. Type the attribute information in the appropriate box, and then select Find.

You can substitute the asterisk (*) character as a wildcard for unknown information in your search. It acts as a placeholder for any number of characters. For example, you could enter 192.168.12.* as your search criteria.

•If you monitor only 10 printers in MarkVision, the easiest way to find the one you want is to scan the tabs in the Feature Overview task for the feature you want. Select Feature Overview (Printers) from the All Tasks list. Choose the Folders tab, and view the folder that contains the printers you want to choose from. You can then scan the various features columns. Click any column heading to sort the printers according to the criteria you want. With only a few printers, you should easily find the printer you are looking for.

•Let's say, however, that you have 800 printers distributed over a large network, and you need to find all the color printers with duplex units. First, scan your folders to see if you already have one for color or duplex printers. Otherwise:

1 Choose the Quick Find tab, and then select Other from the Select a field to search list. 2 Click Find Parameters....

3Configure the filter to find only color printers with duplex units. For more information on configuring filters, see Using filters.
