Lexmark CFM is a monitoring service provided by Lexmark and RBC to assist with Lexmark servicing. The software can either be installed on a Server or PC to monitor the printers (Fleet Agent). Alternately it can be directly installed on compatible Lexmark device (Printer Agent). Please see the below security settings that need to be configured in order to allow CFM to work as intended.
Fleet Agent
The Fleet Agent requires a dedicated, high-availability, on-premises server, or hosted computer. It must have a constant Internet connection. The Fleet Agent should not be placed on a computer that is routinely shut down or routinely disconnected from the Internet. A single Fleet Agent can manage 1000s printers. Only one is needed per customer WAN.
