MarkVision™

MarkVision™ by Lexmark is an integrated software for managing printers, stored in the “PrintPartner Software CD-

ROM” which comes with the printer. It has the following main functions:

• Monitoring the printer

• Displaying the printer status and features (including options) and statistics

• Providing the printer control panel on the computer’s screen (remote control panel)

These functions are most effective and valuable for remote printers in network environments.

MarkVision™ is automatically activated when an abnormal condition occurs in the printer. It operates in Windows

95 environments only.

The remote control panel is quite a nice function that enables the user to easily and remotely operate the printer even

if the printer is set up remotely. MarkVision™ displays the printer control panel on the computer’s screen and gives

the user the exactly same functions as available with the control panel of the printer. The user can perform a func-

tion by clicking a button on the computer’s screen without pushing a button of the printer’s control panel.
