README

This file contains information that you need to install Infoprint Submit, plus additional information not included in the product documentation.

Refer to the Print-on-Demand Feature: Submit for Windows User's Guide for instructions on additional configuration tasks that are necessary to take advantage of all the features of Infoprint Submit.

The Infoprint Manager Print-on-Demand Feature consists of the following three clients:

The Infoprint Submit Express for the Windows Operating System client contains several enhancements to usability, serviceability, and reliability from the previous Windows version. If you are a new Windows user of the Print-on-Demand Feature, we recommend that you use the new Submit Express client. For instructions on using Submit Express for Windows, refer to the Infoprint Manager Print-on-Demand Feature: Submit Express for Windows User's Guide.

The Infoprint Submit Express for the Windows Operating System client is replacing the Infoprint Submit for Windows client; however, this client continues to be included with Infoprint Manager and is supported.

The Infoprint Submit for Macintosh client is still available. For instructions on using Infoprint Submit for Macintosh, refer to the Infoprint Manager Print-on-Demand Feature: Submit for Macintosh User's Guide.

    Notes:
    1. With Infoprint Manager for AIX, you must have the Version 4.1 level of Infoprint Submit installed for the service update to install correctly. If you are currently using Version 3.2, first install the Version 4.1 product and then install the service update as described above.
    2. With Infoprint Manager for Windows, you must have the Version 2.1 level of Infoprint Submit installed for the service update to install correctly.

Installing associated software and printer drivers

If you wish to create PostScript jobs for Infoprint Manager, you should install printer drivers and PostScript Printer Description files (PPDs) on each of the systems that you use for this purpose. Printer drivers are needed on the workstations that are used to submit jobs to the Infoprint Manager server to ensure that the correct driver is used. In addition, if you have users who are producing PostScript files on their workstations that they want printed on the Infoprint Manager printers, you need to load Infoprint Manager printer drivers onto these workstations.

IBM provides an Adobe PostScript Driver installer on the Infoprint Manager Print-on-Demand Feature CD-ROM, in the directory win\drivers\postscript. This installer can be used to install one of four IBM-supplied PPDs or a generic PostScript print driver.

To begin the installation, double-click on the self-extracting winsteng.exe file, and follow the installation instructions. When asked to select a printer, you can choose the generic driver, or click the Browse button and navigate to the win\drivers\postscript directory to select a PPD for the Infoprint 60, InfoColor 70, Infoprint 4000, or Infoprint 4100 printer.

IBM also provides AFP Workbench for Windows. The AFP Workbench viewer displays AFP and ASCII files, including overlays and page segments, in a WYSIWYG format. To install this tool, go to the directory win/workbench and double-click on the setup.exe file.
