1 Overview
The Printer Management Utility
The Printer Management Utility (PMU) allows you to organize all of the
printers in your office remotely in a single database, download software and
printer settings from a host computer with a single mouse click, and use a
virtual operator panel to configure printers in the same room or on the other
side of the world.
Requirements
• an InfoPrint 6500/6400 Series line matrix, 6700/4400 Series thermal, or
6700-M40 Series thermal printer
• the printer must be attached to the host system via a 10/100Base-T
Ethernet Interface or a wireless Ethernet Interface; if you do not have an
Ethernet Interface, see your dealer for an upgrade
• a host computer running the Windows
®
(98, NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003,
or Vista) or UNIX
®
(such as AIX
®
, Linux
®
, or Solaris™) operating system
• a host computer running a Java™ 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE™)
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is fully JRE 5 compliant or higher
NOTE: Vista requires JRE 6.
• for Windows, a minimum hardware configuration of a 450MHz Pentium
®
with 128 MB of RAM
To install and edit the database, it is not necessary to have the printers
connected. When starting a session with a printer, the printer must be
connected and turned on.
Installing the Software
The Windows, Linux, and Solaris versions of JRE 5 and the Java-based PMU
are available on CD. Follow the on-screen instructions to first install JRE 5 for
your platform, then the PMU.
NOTE:
If you are using Vista, download JRE 6 at
http://java.sun.com/javase
Install JRE 6 first, then the PMU.
If you have another UNIX operating system, see your system
administrator.
