Overview

Overview
Use the application to print documents from a workstation to a central print queue. Print jobs that are sent from a
computer, from the Web, or through e‑mail are held until the user deletes or prints them. Jobs that are not released
after a specified period are automatically deleted.
Users can also download mobile printing applications to send print jobs from their mobile devices. For more information
on how to purchase the mobile application, contact your Lexmark sales representative.
The solution also supports:

• User authentication in order to use the standard functions of the printer. These functions include, copying, faxing,
e‑mailing, and scanning to FTP and to a network.

• Allowing another user (called a delegate) to release one user's print job.
• Badge authentication, quota tracking, and usage tracking.
• Sending print jobs using AirPrint.

For more information on how to print using this solution, see the User’s Guide.
For more information on how to print from your mobile device, see the Lexmark Mobile Printing User’s Guide.

Using Lexmark Management Console

Using Lexmark Management Console
Accessing Lexmark Management Console
1 Launch Lexmark Management Console (LMC) from your Web browser using either of the following URLs:
• http://hostname:9780/lmc
• https://hostname/lmc
where hostname is the host name or IP address of the computer on which the server is installed.
Notes:

• It may take several minutes to start all services when the server is first booted. If LMC cannot be accessed
immediately after booting the system, then wait a few minutes, and then try again.

• Cookies must be enabled on your Web browser in order to use LMC.
• Adobe Flash Player 10 or later is required. If your Web browser settings do not allow ActiveX controls to run,
then manually upgrade the plug‑in by visiting the Adobe Web site.

2 Type the administrator user name and password, and then click Login.
Notes:

• The default user name and password are both admin.
• If LMC is configured to connect to an LDAP server, then any valid user name and password can be used.

Configuring the application
Changing the status of the server
Print Management lets administrators control whether jobs are sent to the server from the load balancer.

1 Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the System tab.
2 Select a server.
3 Click Set Online or Set Offline.
Note: Set Offline still allows administrators to stay connected to the server.

Configuring the application settings for your environment
Note: Before changing the settings, contact Lexmark Help Desk to make sure that the change is appropriate and
necessary.
During the initial installation, your Lexmark Integration Specialist configures the settings of the solution to meet the
needs of your environment. If you need to modify the settings because of user feedback or configuration changes within
your environment, then do the following:

1 Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Solutions tab.
2 From the Solutions section, click PrintReleasev2.

Using Lexmark Management Console

3 From the Tasks section, click Configuration, and then change the settings.
4 Click Apply.

Adding printers to a device group
When you expand to other departments or locations, you need to add devices to the solution. Before adding devices
to the solution, make sure you have obtained licenses from your Lexmark Technical Program Manager.
Typically, you need to add devices to the existing device group to have the same local settings as all other devices in
the group. Creating groups also lets you better organize all your devices, such as by location, and modify different
configurations in the local settings, such as Authentication Method, Print All Settings, and Keypad Only Device Settings.

1 Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Device Groups tab.
2 From the Device Groups section, click Add, and then type a name for your device group.
Note: If you want to use the existing group, then select the name of your device.

3 From the Tasks section, select Discovery Profiles.
4 In the address field, type the IP address of the printer, and then click Add.
Notes:

• You can add only one IP address at a time.
• Do not fill up any information in the fields unless that information is already configured on the printers that
are added.

5 Click Discover.
6 From the Discovery section, select the Discover new devices only check box, and then click Discover.
7 Click Done.
8 To verify that your printer is successfully added, click Summary or Discovered Devices from the Tasks section.

Configuring the home screen
When new printers are added to the solution, you may need to configure the home screen if your printer is part of a
new device group or if your printer is a different model from the previously configured printer. Because different device
classes have different capabilities, a separate custom home screen must be configured for each device class. For a list
of supported printers in each device class, see “Supported printers” on page 5.

1 Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Device Groups tab.
2 From the Device Groups section, select a device group you want to configure, and then click Home Screen from the
Tasks section.

3 From the Home Screen section, select the type of printer you want to configure.
Note: Make sure to select the Use this home screen as part of the device group’s policy check box.

6 Click Apply.

Configuring chunk size for device discovery and policy updates
When using three or more servers, reducing the chunk size increases the speed of device discovery and policy updates.

1 Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Services tab.
2 From the Services section, select General.
3 From the Tasks section, select Parameters.
4 In the ChunkSize field, enter a new value.
Note: When using three or more servers, a value as low as 2 may be appropriate.

5 Click Apply.

Scheduling cleanup tasks
Lexmark Print Management provides many flexible features, including the capability for establishing total or color user
quotas on a monthly or yearly basis, limiting function access by user or group, and managing temporary badges. Each
feature requires scheduled tasks to run in order to update and clean up data periodically.

Using Lexmark Management Console

If you are using quotas, then quotas must be reset in order to automatically delete data for the previous year and allow
all users to start with new, full quotas. This task should be scheduled to run once a year on a schedule that works best
for your business processes. For example, many schools run this task at the beginning of each school year.
If you are using function access, you need to periodically update users’ group information to make sure that they are
getting access to the functions granted to their user role. The frequency at which this task runs is at your discretion
and may be dictated by how frequently users move around within groups in your environment.
For temporary badges, it is important to reset the user information associated with the badges so that when the badge
is assigned to a new user, the new user must re-register and cannot gain access to the previous user’s jobs. The frequency
at which this task runs is at your discretion and may be dictated by how long you assign temporary badges.

1 Access Lexmark Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the System tab.
2 From the System section, select Schedule.
3 Click Add > Script > Next > None > Next.
4 Select the solution you want to configure and the script associated with your task.
• ResetFAUserGroup—This lets you reset the function access limit of the group.
• PrintDelete—This lets you automatically delete print jobs in a period of time.
• GenerateCSV—This lets you generate report in a period of time.
• TempBadgeDelete—This lets you delete temporary badge data.
• ResetQuota—This lets you reset user quotas annually.
• ResetUserGroup—This lets you update users that are already defined in the database to their current group.
5 Click Next.
6 From the “Choose a frequency” dialog, specify the start date and time and how often the cleanup occurs.
7 Click Finish.

•
—This sorts the column in descending order.

Adding groups
You may choose to manage quotas at a group or user level. If group quotas are implemented, then a user’s quota would
be established dependent on the Active Directory (AD) group to which they belong. For example, you may have an
employee hierarchy where users in one group (ex. Marketing) would logically print more than users in another group
(ex. Helpdesk). You could establish quotas specific to each group and, thus, users in each group will get the appropriate
number of pages assigned. If you manage quotas at an individual user basis, then a default quota value will be established
for all users as they are registered or entered. The administrator manages any individual quota changes, if needed.
The group that corresponds to the AD group must be added manually. The group name must match the name in the
AD group.

1 Access Print Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Quotas tab > Add Group.
Note: If the Add Group button does not appear, then click Manage Groups.

2 From the Add Group dialog, type the name of the group, and then set the following:
• Total Quota—This is the total number of pages a user is allowed to print or copy.
• Color Quota—This is the total number of pages a user is allowed to print or copy in color.
Note: The individual user quota supercedes the group quota if both quotas are set for a user.

3 Click OK.

Adding users to a group
Clicking Manage Users lets you view the list of all users, the group to which each user belongs, and the number of pages
each user printed for the specified time frame. By default, the quotas that appear are the total number of pages or
color pages printed. You can modify the quota view and time frame by using the "Quota View" and "Usage View" filters.

1 Access Print Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Quotas tab > Add User.
Note: If the Add User button does not appear, then click Manage Users to return to the list of current users.

2 From the Add User dialog, type the Windows user ID, and then select the group to which the user belongs.
3 Click OK.

Print Management lets users release print jobs using printers from other locations. This tab lets you view and manage
these printers.

Allowing users to release print jobs to another printer
1 Access Print Management Console from your Web browser, and then click the Alternate Locations tab > Add
Alternate Locations.

2 From the Add Alternate Locations dialog, set the following:
• Release IP—This is the IP address of the printer where the print job is submitted.
• Alternate IP—This is the IP address of the printer where the print job is released.
• Alternate Display Name—This is the name of the printer where the print job is released.
• Alternate Model Name—This is the model name of the printer where the print job is released.
• Alternate Device is Color—This indicates whether the printer where the print job is released prints in color.
3 Click OK.

Using the Print Track Devices tab
Tracking print jobs
Lexmark Print Management lets administrators track users’ print jobs to devices that are not sent to the printer print
queue. Jobs are still printed through a shared Windows print queue but directly to the printer instead of being held for
release. If print jobs are being tracked to any devices, administrators must add the information in the Print Track Devices
Tab to make sure that information about the printer gets stored with the print job data. This is completely optional,
and users can still print from printers that are not configured. However, if not added, the model and device type (such
as color or mono) will not be stored in the usage data.

1 Access Print Management Console, and then click the PrintTrack Devices tab > Add Print Track Device.
2 From the Add Print Track Device dialog, set the following settings.
• Site—This is where the print job is released.
• Address—This is the IP address of the printer where the print job is released.
• Model Name—This is the model name of the printer where the print job is released.
• Model Type—This is the model type of the printer where the print job is released.
• Comment—This is an optional field where administrators can add information about the printer.
3 Click OK.

Testing the solution
After changing the configuration or adding devices to the device group, you need to configure a client workstation to
make sure that print queueing is working properly.
