Export the Printer List

You can export the discovered printer list for import into XSM via a CSV file. The exported file
contains all of the meter data including: meters, unit types and the last transmitted meter to XSM
for each printer.

Note: Advanced users with access to XSM should make sure all the model names map to the
same model alias in XSM, insert the information into an XSM template, and finally import the
information into XSM.

If your version of the application has filter options, verify that All is the selected filter.

From the Left Navigation pane, select Printers>Dashboard or List and Actions>Export to
File

file for easy identification. When you are finished, click Save.
