About Client Software for Windows

Installing Client Software for Windows

This section provides instructions for configuring the printing systems on Windows computers.

Printer Drivers

Printer drivers are software components that enable application programs to interact with the printer. The e-STUDIO4511 Series comes with three printer drivers, PCL5c, PCL6, and PS3 (PostScript) printer drivers, and e-STUDIO450 Series and e-STUDIO280 Series comes with two printer drivers, PCL6 and PS3 (PostScript) printer drivers. These printer drivers offer document print, layout and assembly functions that are not available with many applications.

TopAccessDocMon

This utility allows you to monitor all jobs and control your own current jobs. With the notifica- tion feature enabled, TopAccessDocMon informs you of copier or printing events, such as paper-out or drawer open, before you walk to the copier to find your job incomplete or unsuc- cessful.

Agfa Font Manager

This utility allows you to install and manage the TrueType fonts that are corresponding to the internal PS fonts on the equipment.

Peer-to-Peer Utility

This utility allows you to create a Peer-to-Peer port on your computer to enable Peer-to-Peer printing. This utility is only available for Windows 98 and Windows Me.

SUPPLEMENT: • There is another job monitoring utility, TopAccess, which allows you to monitor and manage your print jobs over the Internet using either Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Because TopAccess is an embedded web-based device and job manage- ment tool it does not require your installation.

For e-STUDIO450 Series and e-STUDIO280 Series:

Agfa Font Manager is separately provided in the Font CD-ROM that comes with the Printer Kit or Printer/Scanner Kit.

Planning for Installation

This section will help you to plan an installation suited to your environment. Before installing the client software, read this section.

Before Installing Client Software

Before installing the client software, confirm the followings to perform an appropriate installa- tion.

— When GL-DocMon Has Been Installed

If the GL-DocMon for GL-1010 or GL-1020 has been installed, uninstall the GL-DocMon to install the TopAccessDocMon. TopAccessDocMon can be used to monitor the GL-1010 and GL-1020 controller.

— When TopAccessDocMon Has Been Installed

If the TopAcceessDocMon has been installed from either the e-STUDIO4511 Series Client1 CD-ROM, e-STUDIO450 Series Client1 CD-ROM, or e-STUDIO280 Series Client1 CD-ROM, you do not have to install it from the other one. TopAccessDocMon can be used to monitor both devices.
