Getting Started
MarkVision
The MarkVision graphical user interface provides ongoing status
for Lexmark printers connected locally or attached directly to the
network by way of an optional network adapter. The status
reported includes all messages appearing on the operator panel
display if you are administrating the remote operator panel, as
well as information about options installed on the printer and
printer default settings. Workgroup administrators or key
operators can monitor only those printers they are responsible for
by using a helpful list of print queues that can be listed through
MarkVision.
When minimized on your screen, the MarkVision icon flashes to let
you know there is a problem with a printer. You can maximize the
window to see a graphic of the printer and detailed information
about the problem.
MarkVision can save you a lot of time setting up a network of
Lexmark printers. The Quick Setup function lets you create a
printer configuration file at your workstation, save the printer
settings in the file, and then send the settings to other printers on
the network.
By using the MarkVision job statistics utility, you can also keep
track of network printer activity. MarkVision helps you collect
printer usage statistics and create charge-back reports, including
information about total jobs printed, total pages, and average print
time. MarkVision can also provide information about jobs
currently in the print buffer.
