Appendix A: MarkVision
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
