Managing software clients
Understanding software clients and software client groups
There are two types of client software:
•
Select'N'Send
—This is a Windows application, including both a command line utility and a GUI version, that allows
users to send files directly to Lexmark Intelligent Capture and select Lexmark Intelligent Capture profiles to use in
processing the sent files. Selected files are submitted to the system in their current formats.
Note:
Select'N'Send does not support prompting from an Lexmark Intelligent Capture server system profile.
•
Lexmark Document Server Printer Port
—This is a port monitor that allows users to submit documents to Lexmark
Intelligent Capture by printing from any Windows application to a print queue assigned to the port. Printed
documents are submitted to the system in the format determined by the print driver used with the print queue.
A Lexmark Intelligent Capture printer port can now be assigned to an Lexmark Intelligent Capture server system
profile that prompts for user input at the time of printing. The prompting is controlled by the profile or script running
on the Lexmark Intelligent Capture server system that the printer port is assigned to. For Lexmark Intelligent Capture
printer port prompting, the port monitor software must be installed on the computer. The Lexmark Intelligent
Capture printer port must be created and assigned to a profile that prompts to an existing print queue.
Notes:
–
Lexmark Intelligent Capture printer port prompting is
not
supported on print servers. Do
not
configure a
Lexmark Intelligent Capture port on a print server to use a profile that prompts; otherwise, the spooler will
stop responding and possibly crash when print jobs start going into the print server. You can still use
Lexmark Intelligent Capture ports on print servers, but you can only assign them to profiles that do not
prompt
–
Configure the nonprompting profiles in the SDK with a property in the SDK that specifies that the profile
does not prompt. This helps improve the performance of an Lexmark Intelligent Capture port assigned to a
nonprompting profile.
A software client is a computer that has been configured to use Select'N'Send or a Lexmark Document Server Printer
Port to access solutions directly. A software client group is a collection of these software clients that share one or more
solutions with the same local configuration. At least one software client group must be created for solutions used with
Select'N'Send or Lexmark Document Server Printer Ports. Multiple software client groups should be created if more
than one solution is assigned to different sets of software clients or if one solution is assigned to different software
clients with different local configurations.
