located. Within that folder, you might create a sub folder for the city. Additional subfolders could

contain printers grouped by the building or floor number. Create a corresponding map for each folder.

Create maps using any graphics application that saves in JPEG or GIF format. You can create an

original image or develop your graphic using a scanned image like an area map or building plan.

Save the image in JPEG or GIF format. You can then select the graphic from the Map task in

MarkVision.

Using a map

1 Select Map from the All Tasks menu, or select a folder and click View → Map.

2 Select a folder.

3 Click the Map icon in the lower part of the window. Select the map you want to use, or click

Browse to find the graphic you want to use.

then click Apply.

Note: A yellow border around a device icon indicates that the device is in a warning state;

a red border indicates an error state.

Monitoring printer supplies

There are several methods you can use to monitor printer supplies.

If you are responsible for monitoring multiple printers:

• Select Folder Configuration from the All Tasks menu and create a folder with a filter based

on the status criteria you are interested in. For example, you could create a folder named All

Status Errors and Warnings, and configure the filter to display only those devices containing

status errors or warnings. This folder's contents dynamically changes as devices meet or fail

to meet the filter criteria.

• You can also perform a Quick Find to monitor printer supplies. Click the Quick Find tab, and

under the Select a Field to Search box, select Other. Click Find Parameters to configure the

parameters of your search. Click Find. The results of your search are displayed.

• To see at a glance which printers are low on toner, select Status of Printer from the All Tasks

menu, open a folder, and select the printers you are interested in.

If you are responsible for monitoring only one printer:

• Select Status of Printer from the All Tasks list. Choose the appropriate printer from either the

Quick Find or Folders tab.

Note: MarkVision's Map task displays an icon for each device. These icons give you an

indication of a device's status. A yellow border around a device icon indicates that

the device is in a warning state; a red border indicates an error state.
