Quick
Reference Table
The table below is provided for an engineer who needs a quick reference to the
actions required to install a machine onto a network. The engineer may have
previously installed a machine, be re-installing a machine onto another server
or be installing several machines at once.
NOTE
The system requires that the correct enabling security key device driver is fitted
to the port on the rear of the machine before software applications can be
installed
At the printer use housekeeping to transfer product files (.pr1) from local disk to
the remote disk. Load a product file from the remote disk back to the printer and
check that the transaction is complete.
No. Action Required Information
1 In Windows, select the Network icon from
Control Panel and the Identification tab,

Mask details from the system adminis-
trator
5 Tell the network administrator that you
require two working directories where the
product and data files are to be stored
Files must have full administrative rights
(read/write)

driver
D:\Program Files\DEK\Machine Con-
trol\Printer\sdrconf.cfg
Set the
Passive IP Address to
the Printers’ IP Address
7 If more than one printer is to communicate
using the GEM Host:
Set a different DEVICEID for each
printer.
8 At the printer in Set Prefs, select Comms
Protocol to ON
For serial GEM only
9Select Auto Login option Set to disabled if the operator is to log in
every session or enabled if the login is
to occur automatically at start up

Using a Laptop If ‘Pinging’ the network fails, a laptop computer can be attached to the printing
machine to test the local network is working correctly.
NOTE
Before commencing testing, make a note of the original configurations of both
the laptop and the printer so that they can be reset on completion.
1. Identify the laptop name by selecting Control Panel, Network.
2. Under the Protocols tab select TCP/IP and Properties, select Specify an
IP Address.

Select OK. Close the network dialog and the control panel and re-boot the
laptop.
4. Connect the laptop to the printer using a cross-over network cable.
5. On the laptop log in locally as ‘Yourself’ in the laptop name domain.
6. Create a directory called Test, change its properties so that it is shared.
7. Create two sub-directories of Test for ‘data’ and ‘products’.
8. At the printer, check that the printer’s IP Address is 195.100.100.1
NOTE
If the IP Address is changed the printer shall need to be rebooted.
9. On the desk top double click My Computer.
10.Right click on C:Drive.
11. Select Sharing, Select New Share. Type C Drive in the shared name box.
12.Select User Limit and allow user = 1.
