Machine status during installation

The Lexmark device needs to be considered "out of production" for the installation process. Failure to take the device out of production may result in failed installation and/or termination of user jobs. During installation, user activity on the device will be negatively impacted. There is also the possibility that user interaction during installation may cause the device to appear to crash.

The network needs to remain intact since the install process will be executed through the network. It is recommended that installation be executed during off hours, or that users be notified that the device is out of production during the installation period.

Printing should be avoided during the installation process. Printing will not negatively impact the installation, but the print job may be prematurely terminated. It is recommended that you pause the printer on the print server during installation. Un-pause the printer before executing tests.

If there are any system errors, such as a “Toner Out” message, before the installation is started, the automated installation will halt and fail. Please ensure that the device is in a healthy state before beginning the installation.
