Software clients can be members of more than one software client group. Solutions from each software client group
to which a software client belongs will be available to that software client.

Although software client groups are similar to device groups, there are a few differences:
•
Only solutions developed specifically for use with software clients may be made available to software clients.
•
Software clients are not discovered. Adding a software client to a software client group simply enables access to
the solutions in that group when the software client accesses the system.
•
Similarly, policy updates are not used with software clients.
•
Lexmark Document Server Printer Port supports dynamic prompting.
•
The Solution Status Page cannot be associated with a software client group.
Note:
Separate client licenses are required for using software clients in Lexmark Intelligent Capture. For more
information about adding licenses to an existing system, see “Adding an MFP, e
‑
forms virtual printer, or software
client license to an existing server” on page 71.
Understanding dynamic prompting support
When a profile is selected, solutions usually either prompt you for information or start a job. Many solutions involve
submitting jobs with related information (such as account numbers, passwords, or processing options) that is obtained
through prompting. Where possible, prompting should occur before submitting the job. This gives you the opportunity
to cancel jobs when prompted for information they don't have at the moment.
The Job Submission Web Service provides prompting capability to Lexmark Document Server Printer Port clients. From
the port monitor, the following prompts are supported:
•
MessagePrompt
•
BooleanPrompt
•
IntegerPrompt
•
ListPrompt
•
ArrayPrompt
