Importing a list of printers to a device group

A list of printers can be imported from an XML, TXT, or CSV file exported from MarkVision or other systems.
1
Click the Device Groups tab
2
Select a device group from the Device Groups list.
3
Select Discovery Profiles from the Tasks list.
4
Click Import.
5
Type the path of the file, or click Browse, and then locate the file.
6
Click Upload.
The entries in the file are added to the list of discovery profiles. Perform a device discovery to search for the imported
printers.
In a TXT file, each line contains the host name or IP address for a single printer.
In a CSV file, each line contains the record for a single printer. Each line may contain a single IP address or fully qualified
domain name, or the following fields may be used:
IP address or fully qualified domain name, SNMP read name, SNMP write name,
device class, device model, serial number, contact name, contact location,
property tag
As with any CSV file, you must still include a comma for a blank field followed by populated fields.
An XML file is structured like the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF‑8" ?>
<filters>
<filter>
<addressRange>10.10.2.200</addressRange>
<snmpRead>public</snmpRead>
<snmpWrite>public</snmpWrite>
<contactName>John Doe</contactName>
<contactLocation>Office 1A</contactLocation>
<serialNumber>0123456789</serialNumber>
<propertyTag>XYZ123</propertyTag>
<deviceClass>All</deviceClass>
</filter>
<filter>
<addressRange>10.10.2.150</addressRange>
