Document Server Admin
The Lexmark Document Server runs as a Windows service, so it has no user interface. A
second service that runs with the server, the Document Server Gateway, receives incoming
documents from Multifunction Printers (MFPs) and end-user workstations and forwards them
to the Document Server.
Document Server Admin is a client application that provides a user interface that let’s you
manage your Document Server, Document Server Gateway, and Lexmark MFPs. This
application can run on the same workstation as the Document Server, or on any workstation
on the network. You can manage more than one Document Server at a time with Document
Server Admin.

Confirmation Page settings
After a job is processed, a message can be sent to end users indicating whether the job
completed successfully or failed. This message can be a printed page for jobs submitted from
an MFP or a dialog box for jobs submitted from a computer. These settings let you choose
whether users will receive confirmation messages and how much information it will contain.
Select the most appropriate Confirmation Page options for your end users. For example,
select Error if you want to receive confirmation pages that include warnings or errors.
