8 If you are discovering devices from multiple device groups, select the device groups for the discovery task, and then click Next. (The list does not appear if a specific device group is selected in the Device Groups list.) 9 Enter a start date, and then type the start time. 10 Configure the frequency of the scheduled event, and then click Finish. Deploying solutions to a device group Deploying a solution to a device group creates profiles on the printers in the group that allow users to execute jobs using the solution. Note: We recommend setting servers offline before deploying solutions to device groups to prevent execution of associated profiles before you have completed configuration. 1 On the Device Groups tab, select a device group from the Device Groups list. 2 Select Solutions from the Tasks list. 3 In the main section, click Add. 4 Select the solution from the list, and then click Next. 5 Configure the deployment settings of the solution for the current device group, and then click Finish. Note: A Policy Update is required to complete deployment of the solution. For more information see "Updating policies for device groups" on page 95. Customizing the home screen for a device group To place buttons for deployed solutions on the home screens of printers in a device group (or in the menus of single-function printers without touch screens), you can configure custom home screens. A custom home screen is not required to deploy a solution. However, if the default home screen is used, solutions must be accessed through the Held Jobs menu on the printer. Because different device classes have different capabilities, a separate custom home screen must be configured for each. Notes: • On e-Task 2+ printers, actions included in a custom home screen must be enabled in the printer settings to appear on the home screen. To adjust these settings, type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web browser to access the printer Embedded Web Server, and then click Settings  General Settings  Home screen customization. • If a printer is assigned to more than one device group with a custom home screen configured, the last policy update determines which home screen is used. If multiple device group membership is necessary, we do not recommend configuring a home screen for more than one of the device groups to which the printer belongs. 1 On the Device Groups tab, select a device group from the Device Groups list. 2 Select Home Screen from the Tasks list. 3 Click the tab for the class of printers that you want to configure. 4 Make sure Use this home screen as part of the device group's policy is selected.

Deploying solutions to a device group
Deploying a solution to a device group creates profiles on the printers in the group that allow users to execute jobs
using the solution.
Note:
We recommend setting servers offline before deploying solutions to device groups to prevent execution of
associated profiles before you have completed configuration.
1
On the
Device Groups
tab, select a device group from the Device Groups list.
2
Select
Solutions
from the Tasks list.
3
In the main section, click
Add
.
4
Select the solution from the list, and then click
Next
.
5
Configure the deployment settings of the solution for the current device group, and then click
Finish
.
Note:
A Policy Update is required to complete deployment of the solution. For more information see “Updating
policies for device groups” on page 95.
Customizing the home screen for a device group
To place buttons for deployed solutions on the home screens of printers in a device group (or in the menus of
single-function printers without touch screens), you can configure custom home screens. A custom home screen is
not required to deploy a solution. However, if the default home screen is used, solutions must be accessed through
the Held Jobs menu on the printer.
Because different device classes have different capabilities, a separate custom home screen must be configured for
each.
Notes:
•
On e-Task 2+ printers, actions included in a custom home screen must be enabled in the printer settings to
appear on the home screen. To adjust these settings, type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web
browser to access the printer Embedded Web Server, and then click
Settings

.
•
If a printer is assigned to more than one device group with a custom home screen configured, the last policy
update determines which home screen is used. If multiple device group membership is necessary, we do not
recommend configuring a home screen for more than one of the device groups to which the printer belongs.
1
On the
Device Groups
tab, select a device group from the Device Groups list.
2
Select
Home Screen
from the Tasks list.
3
Click the tab for the class of printers that you want to configure.

Make sure
Use this home screen as part of the device group's policy
is selected.
