Manually create an MFP form

You can manually create a custom form that is available for use only on a Multi-Function Peripheral Lexmark (MFP) device. You can only create the Tablet version (default) of the form. The default width of the form is 1024 pixels.

When you create an MFP form, the ScanStatus variable is automatically added to the form. The value of variable is set to the message associated with each scan (success or failure). If the existing forms do not have the ScanStatus variable, the variable is added on regenerating the forms.
