ries for the product and data fields to be stored. these directories must have

read/write capabilities.

SDR Driver (GEM

Only)

The GEM - IP Address for the machine must be set up in the SDR driver, this

can be checked and edited if necessary in the configuration file D:\ Program

files\DEK\Machine Control\Printer\sdrconf.cfg

Set the PASSIVE ENTITY IP ADDRESS to the printers’ ‘IP Address’.

If there is more than one printer communicating with the GEM Host, set the

DEVICEID differently for each printer. The default value is 0x109 (265). Alter-

native DEVICEID values should be chosen within the range 0x0000 - 0x7FFF

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.

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

No. Action Required Information
