Using file import to tag printers

Users can import multiple IP addresses or serial numbers of associated printers in an organization and assign single or multiple tags to them. This feature helps users later identify and group devices in the portal based on customer requirements.



1. From the Fleet Management web portal, click Printers.



2. From the Tags menu, select Tag printers using file import.



3. From the Tag Printers Using File Import dialog box, do the following:

   • Type the name of the tag in the Search text box, or select one or more tags from the list.
   • Click Choose File to browse to the file that contains the printer serial numbers or IP addresses.

   Notes:

   • The file size must not exceed 200KB.
   • The file must be in TXT or CSV format.
   • The file must have either IP Address or Serial Number as the header. The headers are not case‑sensitive.
   • The file must have relevant data along with the required header.
   • The file must have valid IP addresses.
   • The file must not have blank lines.

   Sample data for IP Address header

   IP Address
   10.195.2.10
   10.4.5.100
   10.194.8.182

   Sample data for Serial Number header

   Serial Number
   50621094752gk
   502706946HRCD
   DUNES104SRL23



4. Click Tag Printers.

   Notes:

   • If the list of IP addresses contains printers from both inside and outside the organization, then the Tag Printers Results Summary dialog box appears. The dialog box shows the number of printers that are tagged (inside the organization) and not tagged (outside the organization).
   • If the list of IP address contains printers only from the organization, then the Tag Printers Results Summary dialog box does not appear.
   • Even if a printer is already tagged, you can still add more tags to it.
