1. Typical Server Installation (one per subnet)  
 
-  For most installations perform the ‘typical’ installation of the Kodak 1200i software 
suite. This is ideal for most environments including those using a single computer 
single printer configuration. Note: this software only runs on Windows® 
2000/2000/2003 Pro/Server and XP/XP Pro.  
NOTE:
 Verify another Microsoft SQL database is not loaded or being used by customer 
on same subnet – do not load the software suite or conflicts may be encountered. 
-  For peer-to-peer connections use an Ethernet crossover cable otherwise use a 
regular Ethernet patch cable through a Switch (100FD capable). Configure the 
TCP/IP address either through the software installation instructions or directly at 
the printer under Setup Menu – Network Menu. 
 
2. Client Installation (one per workstation) 
 
-  Install the Client Installation package onto additional workstations that will be 
printing to the printer (in addition to the server workstation). Note: the database 
program (MSDE) should only be installed onto the primary server workstation (one 
subnet per server). 
 
NOTE: 
While the software suite is not required to run the RIP or drive the printer, the NJ1000i 
driver will normally need to be loaded for most RIPs to communicate properly with the printer (one 
exception is NT 4.0). The primary advantage of loading the printer software is easy setup on the 
network, job accounting features, 
media feed calibration (best 
operational feature!),
 ink usage 
and allowing remote control over 
the printer settings. If the software 
is not registered the job 
accounting elements will become 
disabled after 90 plot hours –
perform product registration via 
the Client software under Help.
