Creating a configuration

Note:  For more information, see Adding files to the resource library.

1. Click Upload Firmware.



2. Type the resource name and description.



3. Type the URL or the build name, and then click Verify.

   Note:  To obtain the URL or the build name, contact the Lexmark Customer Support Center.



4. Click Upload Firmware.



5. Do either of the following:

   • Save as Draft—Save a draft version of the configuration. A configuration in draft status cannot be deployed to a printer.
   • Publish—Publish a configuration. In the Publish Configuration window, type the version notes, and then click Publish Configuration.

   Note:  To cancel the configuration, click Cancel.

• If a configuration contains only the Update all models to the recommended firmware version setting, then printers with firmware older than the recommended level are updated. Printers with firmware at the recommended version or newer are not updated.
• If, aside from the setting, a configuration also contains specific firmware resources, then all printers that match the models in the specific firmware are updated. All other printers are updated to the recommended firmware version.
• If a configuration contains only specific firmware resources, then all printers that match the models in the specific firmware are updated. All other printers are not updated.

Note:  If a specific firmware resource is a downgraded version, then all the eSF applications are removed. The built-in applications are restored to the requested down-level firmware. The Printer Agent is also deleted, and the printer must be enrolled again in Cloud Fleet Management.

1. From the Apps tab, click Select Apps.



2. Select one or more applications, and then click Next.

   Notes:

   • To view the information about the application, click More Info.
   • If Cloud Scan Management and Translation Assistant are coexisting along with Card Authentication, then these applications must be selected in the Card Authentication permissions. This action makes the applications accessible from the printer control panel.
   • When creating a configuration for Cloud Print Management, Translation Assistant, or Cloud Scan Management applications, make sure that you configure the Pluggable Authentication Module setting properly. If the printer is not managed by another authentication application, then enable this setting. This action allows Cloud Authentication to be used as the main authentication application that manages the printer security.
   • If the printer has another authentication application managing its security, then make sure to disable the Pluggable Authentication Module setting.
   • The Cloud Print Management applications may not work with some authentication applications. For more information on the limitations, see the Cloud Authentication Readme File.


3. Click Done.



4. If necessary, click the application name, and then configure the application settings.

   Note:  Some application settings cannot be modified from the Fleet Management web portal. To configure these settings manually, access the configuration page for the application from the printer Embedded Web Server. For more information, see the Administrator’s Guide for the application.

   If you select Cloud Print Management, then you must configure the Pluggable Authentication Module setting to make Cloud Authentication as the primary authentication application.

   

   1. Expand Cloud Print Management settings.

   

   2. From the Basic settings section, select Enable pluggable authentication module.
