PRESETS
• Work directory
This is the folder, in which RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WIN temporar-
ily caches the jobs, before they are finally sent to the folder that
RW-480 PLOTBASE looks through for jobs. The working folder
should always be a local folder, so that the program can quickly
access the data. This folder is in the two following fields: "SSL
spool path from the view of RW-480 PLOTCLIENT" and "SSL
spool path from the view of RW-480 PLOTBASE". The default
setting is automatically preset after installation of PLOTCLIENT.
Spool Path
• Universal Naming Convention
The Universal Naming Convention guarantees a uniform view
of the path details from all the computers connected to your
network. If you activate this option, you only need to fill out the
field "SSL Spool path".
After the UNC details, enter the details for the spool path in two
stages. Firstly, on the left, enter the name of the server PC to
which your plotter is connected, so that the RW-480
PLOTCLIENT WIN can collect the necessary [SMNP] device in-
formation of the plotter. Then on the right, enter the spool path,
which can also be routed to another computer than the server
PC if necessary.
The advantages of this two-stage approach are as follows:
On the one hand, you can provide a separate PC with operat-
ing system e.g. Windows 2000 or Windows XP to allow simulta-
neous access for more users.
On the other hand, it gives you the possibility of providing one
RW-480 PLOTBASE and one plotter in your network for several
server PCs, so that several Client PCs with a RW-480
PLOTCLIENT WIN can print on several plotters at the same time.
• SSL spool path - computer
As your network can have several server PCs with a RW-480
PLOTBASE and a plotter, here you should select the server PC
with plotter to be used for printing by the current RW-480
PLOTCLIENT WIN .
