    Introduction to the Print-on-Demand Feature client software

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

    The Infoprint Submit Express for the Windows Operating System client is replacing the Infoprint Submit for Windows client; however, this product continues to be included with Infoprint Manager for AIX and is supported. For instructions on using Infoprint Submit for Windows, refer to the Infoprint Manager for AIX Print-on-Demand Feature: Submit for Windows User's Guide.

    The Infoprint Submit Express for the Windows Operating System client is updated and contains several enhancements to usability, serviceability, and reliability from the previous Windows version. If you are a new 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 for AIX Print-on-Demand Feature: Submit Express for Windows User's Guide.

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

    Installing Infoprint Submit for Windows

    This section contains information that you need to install Infoprint Submit.

    Insert the Infoprint Manager for AIX Print-on-Demand Feature (1 of 2) CD-ROM into the drive. The install program starts automatically.

    1. Select to install Infoprint Submit.
    2. Follow the instructions as directed from the installer.

    2. Follow the instructions as directed from the installer.
      Note:
      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.

    Installing associated software and printer drivers

    If you wish to create PostScript jobs for Infoprint Manager for AIX, 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 for AIX 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.

    Note:
    After installing Infoprint Submit, you need to configure the logical destination on the AIX server to accept jobs from the workstation printer drivers. See IBM Infoprint Manager for AIX: Procedures, G544-5815 for information about creating and managing logical destinations.

    Accessing Infoprint Submit

    After installing Infoprint Submit and associated software, you can access the programs by clicking on the Infoprint Submit icon.
