The following table shows the path styles used for each type of database.
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:
Access, <database driver>:<DSN>
SQL Server For example:
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.

Managing plug-ins

You can download and install new MarkVision plug-ins on your MarkVision Server for added device
support. The plug-ins you install will, in most cases, also contain downloadable client components.
Relevant client information then downloads to your workstation when you log into the MarkVision
Server.
To access the Software Update (Manage Plug-Ins) task, select MarkVision
(Manage Plug-Ins) on the MVP Home screen.
The Manage Plug-Ins screen lists all of the plug-ins that are currently installed. A list of all of the
currently installed plug-ins is also available on the About MarkVision Professional screen, which you
can access through the About task. If there are no plug-ins listed, you can download the current
updates from the Lexmark Web site at this address: www.markvisionprofessional.com.
The manage plug-ins screen then provides two management options: Remove and Install New.
• Remove
The Remove option lets you uninstall a selected plug-in. First select the plug-in(s) that you
want to uninstall from the list. You can select multiple list entries by holding down either the
Shift or Control (Ctrl) keys while clicking on the desired plug-ins. Click Remove. This removes
the selected plug-in(s) from the server and the client. The uninstall script on both the server
and the client then determines if a restart is needed.
