Stage/Deploy MFDs via server commands

Kyocera

1. Make sure the PaperCut embedded application is installed on your devices.

You can double-check this with the KYOCERA Net Viewer tool.

Please note:

• Although this step is not required when you creating a staged Kyocera device, make sure the PaperCut embedded application for Kyocera is installed when deploying the staged device or deploying a device immediately through the CSV file.

2. Configure the CSV device list.

Set the ‘deviceType’ column as ‘KYOCERA_MITA’ as pictured in the example CSV below.

5.2 Check if the device is staged with the is-device-staged command. (OPTIONAL)

This will displays TRUE if the device is staged, and FALSE if the device is deployed.

C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\bin\win\server-command.exe is-device-staged {DEVICE_NAME}

6. Deploy staged device with the deploy-staged-device command.

Now your devices have been created and deployed if the ‘deploy’ column was set to ‘Y’ or ‘y’.

If the device is staged and you want to deploy it, please use the deploy-staged-device command.

C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\bin\win\server-command.exe deploy-staged-device {DEVICE_NAME}
