      • The Supplies section of the printer details page features a Days to Replace column for supply items. The values in the Days to Replace column are calculated based on usage and predicts when the supply item must be replaced. The prediction is available for all assets managed by Printer Agent, Fleet Agent, Native IoT Agent, and Local Agent in the Cloud Fleet Management.
      • The printer listing page features several important information related to Days to Replace.
      • Predictions are available for toner cartridges, and photoconductors.
      • The prediction is available for devices that are sending their data to Lexmark Cloud Services. The prediction date is based on the last data that were uploaded to the cloud.
      • No prediction data appears if there is no communication between the printer and Lexmark Cloud Services or if the Printer Agent version is outdated. Make sure that you update the Printer Agent to version 3.0 or later for this feature to work. If your device is enrolled with Native IoT Agent, make sure that you update to the latest firmware version.
      • Prediction for Days to Replace runs once a day, and is supported for Lexmark printers only. For a newly enrolled printer, it may take up to 48 hours for a prediction to be available.

Understanding diagnostic events

When the diagnostics events functionality is enabled for a partner fleet, Cloud Fleet Management services start collecting health data from printers regularly. This data is used to predict future failure and service actions to avoid printer downtime and avoid end‑customer impact.

Note:  The diagnostic events functionality is available only on request from Lexmark. This feature is not available for all.

Notes:

  • Diagnostic events are generated when there is a printer‑related or supply‑related alert. Even if the alert that triggered the event is resolved, the diagnostic event appears in the Cloud Fleet Management portal until expiry. If the alert is not resolved until the expiry, a new diagnostic event is triggered for the same alert.
  • The printer listing page features a Diagnostic event column with warning links to the details.
  • The printer details page also lists all the diagnostic events generated by the alerts. You can view the details about the diagnostic events in the Status section of the printer details page.
