Importing Models from the Pharos Community

Pharos periodically uploads an updated list of new printer models to the Pharos Community. You can now download the latest printer models from the Pharos Community and import them into the Blueprint Administrator. This ensures that your Blueprint system has the latest printer models.

To import the latest printer models from the Pharos Community to Blueprint Administrator:

1. Download the latest printer models from the Pharos Community. The file that you download will be in ".zip" format.

Note:

It is not necessary to extract the contents of the file before importing it into the Administrator.

1. Log in to Blueprint Administrator.

2. Navigate to the Device Management > Models screen.

3. Click the Import Models button on the toolbar.
   

   

4. In the Path to Models file, browse to the location of the downloaded models file in Step 1.

5. Click the Import button. The import is successful if the"Models have been updated successfully" message is displayed.

The import process for models follows these update rules:

1. Delete all models not in use by any device or models that you have created.

2. Add all models from the import that are not already being used by a device

3. Turn on "Sentry Print Supported" flag for models from Pharos that are listed in the downloaded file as supporting Sentry Print.
