To prevent printers from being reconfigured by an unauthorized person who could disable Celiveo you need to define an administrator login/password used on the printer.
You will need to indicate that set of credentials in the printer settings during the import process, the Celiveo ABA for browser will use it to install the agent and configure the printer.
Follow these instructions to configure the Lexmark printer through Embedded Web Server.

   https://Device_IP_Address
   The device Embedded Web Server page opens.
2. Click Settings in the left panel, then click Security and open Login Methods block.

Install the API

Lexmark devices require the Celiveo Webservice API to be enabled and installed because they cannot interface with SQL Server directly and as such, need to go through the Celiveo webservice API.
To download and install the Celiveo Webservice API:

1. In the Web Admin, add your Lexmark printer and select it.
   
2. Go to the Settings menu and select DB Settings.
3. Select your database and click Edit.
   
4. Enter the address IP of the machine on which your Web Admin is installed.
5. The URL and Key fields are automatically populated.
6. Click the Download button.
   
7. Open the downloaded zip file and run the CeliveoAPI.exe file.
