Printer inventory. MarkVision can collect information about the printers on your network and print a report list- ing the printer models, serial numbers, code versions, and installed options. You can save the report in a comma delimited file or as formatted output.

When you gather inventory information about the print- ers on a network, you can create a MIF file for each printer’s data. You can then import the MIF files into vari- ous network management tools to create reports that may help with asset management and other tasks. The MIF file format is based on the standard layout approved by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF).

Property tag support. Use MarkVision to define com- pany-specific information about each printer on a net- work, such as a unique printer name, the name of the person using the printer, the location of the printer, and so on. This information is available when you request a printer inventory from MarkVision.

Resource management. MarkVision provides a direc- tory of all the fonts, overlays, and forms stored in flash memory or disk. The directory also lists the amount of memory available for each storage device. You can use MarkVision to delete, move, or copy files from one storage device to another on the same printer, or from one printer to another. In addition, you can use MarkVision to pass- word protect resources on the storage devices.

Printer and network adapter password control. If you have MarkVision installed in a network environment without built-in security, such as TCP/IP, you can use MarkVision to set up printer and network adapter pass- words. The network administrator may want to assign a password to the printer or to the network adapter to restrict the ability to change adapter or printer settings from MarkVision. Passwords can be set up for specific users and for specific printers. This security function does not override existing network security functions.

If your network does have built-in security, MarkVision has access to the logon authority granted to each LAN user within the network operating system. MarkVision
