Setting Print Server Preferences | Kodak ML-500 guide

System Requirements and Installation

Setting Print Server Preferences

1.Start the Print Server application (see page 41).

2.From the Server menu select Server Preferences.

3.Change the Source folder, if needed (see page 44).

The Print Server application monitors this folder for files and places them in the print queue. A default source folder (c:\ML-500 Source Folder) is used if you don’t change source folders.

4.Select a log file, if needed (see page 44).

The log file is a text (*.txt) file where all actions performed by the ML-500 Print Server are recorded. A default log file (c:\program files\Kodak\ML-500\Utilities\<printer name>.txt) is used if you don’t select a different one.

5.Change print job settings, if needed (see page 48).

Selecting the XTRALIFE Option

1.Start the Configuration application (see page 25).

2.Click the General tab (see page 27).

3.Verify that the XTRALIFE ribbon type is set to the type of ribbon you are using on the printer (Glossy or Matte). See page 30.

Once you have completed these preparations, TIFF or JPEG files placed in the source folder will be printed.
