Specifying Alternate Paths; Program Configuration Settings - Seiko SLP100 Administration

Specifying Alternate Paths

Some installations may require that files are stored at a specific location (e.g., a different drive, file
server, etc.). This may be accomplished by specifying the installation-specific paths in a special file
named SLPAdmin.xml.
During startup, the application looks for this file at PrivateData\Smart Label Printer\SLPAdmin.xml. If
the file is not found there, it will then look at PublicData\Smart Label Printer\SLPAdmin.xml. If the
file is not found in either place, the default paths described above are used.
SLPAdmin.xml is a Unicode file, which can be created using the Windows NotePad utility (be sure to
use "Save As", instead of "Save", and set "Encoding" to Unicode). The file has the following format:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SLP_Admin version="1.0">
<Paths>
<PrivateDocuments>C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents</PrivateDocuments>
<PublicDocuments>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents</PublicDocuments>
<PublicData>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data</PublicData>
<PrivateData>C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data</PrivateData>
</Paths>
</SLP_Admin>
Note that any, or all, of the four paths may be specified in this file. A path specified in this file will
override the corresponding default path. Likewise, any path(s) not defined in this file will assume the
default setting (as described in "Default Paths", above). Furthermore, an administrator may place this
file in both PrivateData and PublicData folders, so some paths can be specified for individual users,
and others paths specified for all users.

Program Configuration Settings

Printer and SmartCapture settings for the Smart Label program (SLPWIN.EXE) are stored in a file
name SLPConfig.xml. By default, this file is located in PublicData\Smart Label Printer folder (e.g.,
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Smart Label Printer\SLPConfig.xml).
Some installations may desire to have these settings saved on a per-user basis. This can be
accomplished by copying the SLPConfig.xml file from the PublicData folder to the desired
PrivateData folder (e.g., PrivateData \Smart Label Printer\SLPConfig.xml).
Note that the Smart Label program looks for this file in the PrivateData folder and, if not found there,
in the PublicData folder. Therefore, any users that do not have a private SLPConfig.xml file will use
the "global" settings in the PublicData folder.
