System setup overview
Each of the following steps represents a different stage of the system setup process, covered in the chapter indicated:
1 Activate the appropriate licenses, and then install the database, load balancer, and servers. For more information,
see “Installing Lexmark Document Distributor” on page 18.
2 Perform initial system configuration, including setting up device groups, discovering printers, and scheduling a
backup. For more information, see “Managing device groups and devices” on page 95 and “Backup and disaster
recovery” on page 86.
3 Deploy solutions to printers. For more information, see “Managing solutions” on page 91.
4 If you are using software clients, prepare software client groups and install client software where necessary. For
more information, see “Managing software clients” on page 109.
5 Test deployed solutions on printers and software clients. For more information, see “Testing and using Lexmark
Document Distributor solutions” on page 116.
Supported printers
Notes:
• Only e‑Task 2, e‑Task 2+, e‑Task 3, and X642 printers support eSF applications used in hybrid solutions and
prompts that contain double‑byte characters.
• e‑Task 2, e‑Task 2+, e‑Task 3, and X642 multifunction printers and single‑function printers are distinguished as
separate classes for home screen customization and eSF application configuration because of different
capabilities in those areas. However, discoveries and solution profiles do not distinguish among these classes
and designate all printers listed in those classes as e‑Task 2 printers.
• During the first policy update after installation or a software patch, LDD installs an Advanced Prompting Bundle
(AP Bundle) eSF application on e‑Task 2, e‑Task 2+, and e‑Task 3 multifunction and single‑function printers, and
on X642 multifunction printers. This application is required for LDD support and provides prompting capabilities,
held jobs support, and security support for these printers with LDD.
• On e-Task 2+ and e-Task 3 printers, the following access controls are supported: Remote Management, Create
Profiles, and Firmware Updates. LDD supports basic security that requires authentication through a password or
a PIN to change settings. If Security for these access controls is set to Disabled, then these access controls
cannot be managed by LDD. For more information on changing settings for Access Controls, see the Embedded
Web Server Administrator’s Guide.
