Monitoring printer supplies

There are several methods you can use to monitor printer supplies.

If you are responsible for monitoring multiple printers:

Select Folder Configuration from the All Tasks menu and create a folder with a filter based on the status criteria you are interested in. For example, you could create a folder named All Status Errors and Warnings, and configure the filter to display only those devices containing status errors or warnings. This folder's contents dynamically changes as devices meet or fail to meet the filter criteria.

You can also perform a Quick Find to monitor printer supplies. Click the Quick Find tab, and under the Select a Field to Search box, select Other. Click Find Parameters to configure the parameters of your search. Click Find. The results of your search are displayed.

To see at a glance which printers are low on toner, select Status of Printer from the All Tasks menu, open a folder, and select the printers you are interested in.

If you are responsible for monitoring only one printer:

Select Status of Printer from the All Tasks list. Choose the appropriate printer from either the Quick Find or Folders tab.

Note: MarkVision's Map task displays an icon for each device. These icons give you an indication of a device's status. A yellow border around a device icon indicates that the device is in a warning state; a red border indicates an error state.

Moving the MarkVision Server

As newer hardware becomes available, it may become necessary to move the MarkVision Professional Server to another machine, or import settings from one instance of the MarkVision Server to another server. Since MarkVision Professional is extremely customizable, you may not want to repeat the process of creating folders, filters, and rediscovering devices. As a result, MVP provides the option of either moving an entire MarkVision Server or exporting specific settings for folder configuration and MarkVision Messenger actions to a file to be imported on another server.

The following steps describe a method of creating a backup of MarkVision Professional's customized data, and integrating that data onto a new machine.

1Stop the MarkVision Server.

2Back up the directory in which the customized data files are stored.

In Windows, the default directory is: C:\Program Files\Lexmark\MarkVision

Server\granite\data

For Mac and UNIX, the default directory is: /var/spool/markvision/data

3Install the MarkVision Server on the new machine.

4Stop the MarkVision Server.
