In a TXT file, each line contains the host name or IP address for a single printer.
In a CSV file, each line contains the record for a single printer. Each line may contain a single IP address or fully qualified
domain name, or the following fields may be used:

,
device class
,
device model

serial number
,
contact name
,

,
property tag
As with any CSV file, you must still include a comma for a blank field followed by populated fields.
An XML file is structured like the following example:

<filters>
<filter>
