Differences between the MarkVision Application and the MarkVision Web Client
The MarkVision Application and Web Client are essentially the same program. All folders, filters,
devices, and so on that are managed by the MarkVision Server are available to users of either the
application or the client, provided that the user has been granted access.
The Web Client requires the installation of the Java browser plug-in. Since the Web Client runs
through a Web browser, you can use it to access the MarkVision Server from any computer on your
network.
What do the lines through some devices mean?
Because the nature of MarkVision Professional is such that all tasks are available all of the time, it is
possible to choose devices that do not support a given task. For example, not all printers can report
their toner/ink levels. When this occurs, the name of the device incapable of the selected task has a
line through it. It looks similar to the following:
dhcp-193.prt.print.printing.com
If a device that does not support the current task is selected, MarkVision Professional responds in
the following way:
• For a single device selection, the message Device Incapable of Task is displayed.
Database Description
Oracle The default is the path to the MarkVision Server. If the database is installed on a different
server, change the URL field appropriately, using the path style below:
<database driver>@<database server's IP address>:<database port>:<database
instance (memory area)>
For example: jdbc:oracle:thin:@117.124.46.113:1521:orcl
Access,
SQL Server
<database driver>:<DSN>
For example: jdbc:odbc:yourdsn
DSN is a Data Source Name, which must be created prior to using Job Statistics or Printer
Inventory. Use your ODBC configuration in Windows' Control Panel to create a DSN.
Note: Exporting this information through an ODBC interface is only supported in a
Windows environment.
CSV CSV format provides you the option to export your printer data into a text file formatted to
accommodate database fields. Enter the directory address where you want the text file to
be created on your network or computer.
For example: C:\temp\printerinventory\home
