Before you can use a device with PoINT Archiver you need to install the driver software which ships with the device. When installing the drivers make sure that you install only the required drivers (usually only the printer drivers), but not any support software which may conflict with PoINT Archiver operation. To do this you should connect the device and when the Windows New Device Wizard appears, insert the driver disk and let the Wizard automatically install the drivers.
Please contact the Primera support for information how to connect multiple identical Primera autoloaders to one system.
The following printer models are supported:
For the proper functioning of the Maintenance Mode of the autoloader the following must be obeyed:
When PoINT Archiver is running, the front power key is watched. If it is pressed, the system is requested to shut down. You will see a corresponding message on the front panel display as soon as the autoloader's current activity will be completed and then PoINT Archiver terminates and the system shuts down.
Please note:
The restart function (i.e. shutdown + restart) of the operating system does
not work properly. The hardware unconditionally powers off after 5 minutes.
PoINT Archiver depends on the services of the Rimage Software Suite to control the autoloaders. This version of PoINT Archiver supports OfficeNET Software Suite 8.0 and 8.1. If you are upgrading PoINT Archiver from an earlier version you can continue using versions 7.0 and 7.1. The following software builds have been tested:
The Rimage server software must be installed and configured on the system where the autoloader is connected to. It is not necessary that this is the system where PoINT Archiver is installed, however, both systems must be connected through the Windows network.
When using a Rimage autoloader the following procedures are slightly different than documented in the manual:
Configuring a Rimage Autoloader
Open Setup PoINT Archiver > Devices > Add/Remove Devices
and click on Remote Autoloader...
Specify the server and port settings and click on Next. Then
select the device from the list and click Add. Now close the
dialog and configure the device as described in the manual.
Configuring Bins
Bin and media type settings must be changed using the Rimage
software. After changing these settings it is necessary
to deactivate and reactivate the device in PoINT Archiver.
Please note that the device must be configured to use the FIFO mode
in the Rimage software.
Handling 'Bin Empty' Conditions
When a bin is empty the Rimage server sends a notification which
will be displayed in the Server Notification dialog as "An alert
from a remote server is pending". After inserting new media you
need to acknowledge this message.
