Using a Resource Library

The Resource Library is a repository for your custom files that can be deployed to printers as part of a configuration. Resource files consist of the following types:

  • Firmware
  • eSF applications 
  • Printer setting files
    • Universal Configuration Files (UCF)
    • Bundles

There are two ways to add items to the Resource Library:

  • Add files to the Resource Library for later use
  • Add files to the Resource Library while creating a configuration

    Adding files to the Resource Library 

  1. From the Fleet Management portal, click Configurations > Resource Library.

  2. Click Create Resource or Create.

  3. In the Create Resource window, do the following:

    • Type a unique name and description.

      • UCF file—Files with a .ucf or .txt extension that contain printer or eSF application settings. Click Choose File to browse to the UCF file.

        • Notes:

        • You can use UCF files to clone settings from one printer to another or to define a standard configuration for printers.
        • UCF files are the preferred method of deploying settings to older‑generation printers, with firmware versions beginning with LW and LHS.
      • Settings bundle—Settings bundle are files with a .zip extension that contains printer or eSF application settings. You can click Choose File to browse for the settings bundle.

        • Notes:

        • You can use Settings bundle files to clone settings from one printer to another or to define a standard configuration for printers.

      • Firmware—Special versions of printer firmware that you can be add as a resource. Enter a specific firmware version, such as CSTAT.076.303, or a link provided by the Lexmark Customer Support Center for a specific version, and then click Verify.
