Kodak 1200I manual Software Control Tips, Typical Server Installation one per subnet

KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

Software Control Tips

1.Typical Server Installation (one per subnet)

-For most installations perform the ‘typical’ installation of the Kodak 1200i software suite. This is ideal for most environments including those using a single computer single printer configuration. Note: this software only runs on Windows® 2000/2000/2003 Pro/Server and XP/XP Pro.

NOTE: Verify another Microsoft SQL database is not loaded or being used by customer on same subnet – do not load the software suite or conflicts may be encountered.

-For peer-to-peer connections use an Ethernet crossover cable otherwise use a regular Ethernet patch cable through a Switch (100FD capable). Configure the TCP/IP address either through the software installation instructions or directly at the printer under Setup Menu – Network Menu.

2.Client Installation (one per workstation)

-Install the Client Installation package onto additional workstations that will be printing to the printer (in addition to the server workstation). Note: the database program (MSDE) should only be installed onto the primary server workstation (one subnet per server).

NOTE: While the software suite is not required to run the RIP or drive the printer, the NJ1000i driver will normally need to be loaded for most RIPs to communicate properly with the printer (one exception is NT 4.0). The primary advantage of loading the printer software is easy setup on the network, job accounting features,

media feed calibration (best operational feature!), ink usage and allowing remote control over the printer settings. If the software is not registered the job accounting elements will become disabled after 90 plot hours – perform product registration via the Client software under Help.
