5 Select the solution from the list, and then click Next.

Note: A policy update is required to complete the deployment of the solution. For more information see “Updating
policies for device groups” on page 104.
Customizing the home screen for a device group
To place buttons for deployed solutions on the home screens of printers in a device group (or in the menus of
single‑function printers without touch screens), you can configure custom home screens. A custom home screen is not
a requirement to deploy a solution. However, if the default home screen is used, then solutions must be accessed
through the Held Jobs menu on the printer.
Because different device classes have different capabilities, a separate custom home screen must be configured for
each device class.
Notes:
• On e‑Task 2+ and e‑Task 3 printers, actions included in a custom home screen must be enabled in the printer
settings to appear on the home screen. To adjust these settings, type the printer IP address in the address field
of your Web browser to access the printer Embedded Web Server, and then click Settings > General Settings >
Home screen customization.
• If a printer is assigned to more than one device group with a custom home screen configured, then the last
policy update determines which home screen is used. If multiple device group membership is necessary, it is not
recommended to configure a home screen for more than one of the device groups to which the printer belongs.
1 Click the Device Groups tab.
2 Select a device group from the Device Groups list.
3 Select Home Screen from the Tasks list.
4 Click the tab for the class of printers that you want to configure.
5 Select the Use this home screen as part of the device group's policy check box.

first page.
– e‑Task—This provides one page that may contain up to nine buttons.
– e‑Task 2, e‑Task 2+, or SFP e‑Task 2+—This may contain up to nine buttons on the first page. The
