Chapter 4: Client Installation
Setting the Usage Rights for the Printer
The printer that is installed into Windows for the FF240-IP to work requires some settings of the rights.
For Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and earlier:
The Windows account/user that is to "use" the printer, needs to have the "Print" permission associated with (enabled on) their Windows account (regarding the printers security properties).
For Windows Vista, Windows 7 and later:
The Windows account/user that is to "use" the printer, needs to have the "Print" permission and the "Manage Printers" permission associated with (enabled on) their Windows account (regarding the printers security properties).
Associating Client Software and User with the FF240-IP Unit
After the FF240-IP client software is installed, you must associate it with one or more FF240-IP units. Sometimes more than one FF240-IP unit is available for use. In some cases, certain client users might be assigned to some FF240-IP units and not assigned to others. This procedure shows you how to make this association so that faxes may be sent from a particular FF240-IP unit to the email inbox of your PC. To do this procedure, you will need to know the IP address of the FF240-IP unit that you are able to use. You should also be given a valid username and password for every unit that you can use. Be aware that an individual FF240-IP client user can be associated with more than one FF240-IP unit. This could easily be the case in an office that is large and/or an office that has a great deal of fax traffic.
The icon for the FF240-IP Client software application will appear in the Windows Start menu programs selection. After installation, the Client Software starts up whenever the computer is booted if the ‘Yes’ option was chosen when the ‘Do you wish to start the FF240-IP Client automatically?’ prompt appeared during installation. When running, a FF240-IP icon appears in the system tray area at the lower-right corner of the screen. The FF240-IP Fax Client Software screen can be opened from either the Start menu icon or the tray icon. If the Client Software is shut down, it can be re-opened from the Start menu or by double-clicking on a file named FF240-IPClient.exe (or something very similar), which, following a typical, default installation, is located at C:\Program Files\Multi-Tech Systems\FF240-IP Client Software\FF240- IPClient.exe. When the client software is launched, it will reside in the System Tray be default.
