Using the Printer Utilities Getting Started Status and Alerts You can determine the current status for each printer and see a graphic of the options installed on each printer. With this information, you can then easily identify the printer best suited for a particular print job. Unlike other network printer management software, the MarkVision alert-driven architecture lets you actively monitor the status of multiple printers on a real-time basis without polling. If an error occurs on a printer attached to your network, MarkVision immediately provides a visual and audible alert without excess network traffic. Auto Driver Update If you select the "Server" installation method when you run the Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 setup utility, MarkVision for Windows can compare the drivers on a local workstation to those stored on the network. If the workstation drivers are not as current as those available on the network, you can have MarkVision automatically update the workstation drivers. Toolkit MarkVision for Windows 3.1 groups several resource management tools in the printer Toolkit. Use the Toolkit to download fonts, overlays, and forms to the printers, as well as manage the resources once they are stored in flash memory or hard disk. MarkVision for Windows 95, MarkVision for OS/2 Warp, MarkVision for Macintosh, and MarkVision for UNIX Networks offer the same tools, although they are not grouped in a "Toolkit" form. 37 Chapter 2: Using the Printer Utilities
