PrintAgent Core and Server Installation

Secondary File Server software. You can install all three at once using the Administrator Setup option. Follow these
steps.

2.
When prompted, select the Administrator setup option and click Next.
3.
When the Components list is displayed, select PrintAgent and click the Change button.
4.
In the sub-components list, make sure that PrintAgent, Pull Printing Server, and optionally, Secondary File
Server are selected. Then click Continue.

Continue responding to the selections displayed in the installation dialog boxes.
6.
When installation is complete, restart Windows.
note:
You can also install the PrintAgent Pull Printing Server, and Secondary File Server software from links on
the URL Configuration Page.
About the Secondary File Server
The NEC PrintAgent Driver, Help files, and the PrintAgent Core software reside on the printer. However, you have
the option of putting these files on a secondary server and then changing the URLs to point to that server. This
frees the printer to process print jobs.
When Secondary File Server installation is complete, the PrintAgent core files have been copied into the htdocs
directory, so the Secondary File Server is ready to respond to file transfer requests. However, if you want the
Secondary File Server to deliver the Online Help, you must manually copy the Help files from
E:\nec-disk\ncss44rn\help, to
inetpub\htdocs\ncss44rn\help, (keeping the directory structures intact.
note:
You can also install the Secondary Server Software from a link on the URL Configuration Page.
Starting the Pull Printing Server
When a client opens the Pull Printing Page, the associated Pull Printing Server is automatically activated. You can
also launch it by pressing the Windows Start button, selecting Programs, selecting Pull Printing Server, and then
selecting Start.
