INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
This Interim Correction can be installed using the manual installation
instructions given below, or if this Interim Correction package
includes a file beginning with the node INSTALLDATAFILE, it may also be
installed using SimpleInstall or InstallCenter. Before beginning the
installation process, please review the FALLBACK INSTRUCTIONS at the
end of this document and take any necessary steps to prepare for
possible fall back to the previous software level.
For SimpleInstall or InstallCenter installation:
Please refer to the appropriate procedures documented in the:
ClearPath HMP NX and A Series Simple Installation (SI)
Operations Guide (SimpleInstall Instructions)
ClearPath HMP NX Series NX/InstallCenter Operations Guide
Ensure that the base release for the given Interim Correction
has been previously installed.
If using SimpleInstall, first copy the install file to a pack
family on the system. If using InstallCenter, the install file
can be accessed directly from the release media. When using
either SimpleInstall or InstallCenter, specify the install file
on the appropriate screen. If installing from a CD, use the
install file titled INSTALLDATAFILE/SYSTEM/<media name>/CD. If
installing from media other than a CD, use the install file titled
INSTALLDATAFILE/SYSTEM/<media name>.
To install all the files from this Interim Correction package,
leave the Software Product Name field blank or specify *ALL*.
When using SimpleInstall to install files that have been previously
copied to disk, select "Specify copy / installation options", then
enter "Y" in the selection that says "Copy file from Disk instead
of from the release media". This action will bring up a screen on
which you can specify the directory name and usercode.
When using InstallCenter to install files that have been previously
copied to disk, click the "Options..." button, then select the
"Copy Control" tab, and then specifiy the source of the files
in the appropriate fields.
For manual installation:
These instructions describe how to install the print system files
which run under MCP and two optional sets of files (for PrintCenter
and MCPPRT) which run in the Microsoft Windows environment.
PrintCenter is usable only on HMP NX systems and MCPPRT
is usable only if you have ReprintS. It does no harm to install
these optional files even if you do not use them.
1. Copy the existing *SYSTEM/PRINT files under a different name.
For example, enter 'COPY *SYSTEM/PRINT/= AS *OLD/SYSTEM/PRINT/=
FROM <familyname> TO <familyname>'.
Copy the file *SYSTEM/DEVICESUPPORT as a different name. For
example, enter 'COPY *SYSTEM/DEVICESUPPORT AS
*OLD/SYSTEM/DEVICESUPPORT FROM <familyname> TO <familyname>'.
Copy the files *SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/PRNTCNTR/= and
*SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/MCPPRT/= as a different name.
For example, enter 'COPY SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/PRNTCNTR/=
AS OLD/SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/PRNTCNTR/='.
Step 1 may be omitted, but doing it will save having to copy the
older versions of the PrintS related files from tape if problems
are encountered. See FALLBACK INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Copy in the new PrintS related files from the IC media to the
desired family. If you are using a COMBINED IC media, then
enter 'COPY *PRINTS/= AS *= FROM <tapename> to <familyname>'
else enter 'COPY = FROM <tapename> to <familyname>'.
Note: this assumes that both the SYSTEM/PRINT/= files and the
SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/= files reside on the same family. If they
do not then you must copy the SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/= files to
the family used for SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/=.
3. Use the 'PS QUIT NOW' command, from the ODT or from MARC, to
bring down the Print System immediately. This will also bring
down any *SYSTEM/PRINT/BACKUP/PROCESSOR tasks that are currently
running.
4. The new system libraries will need to be established by entering
'SL PRINTSUPPORT = *SYSTEM/PRINT/SUPPORT ON <familyname>'
'SL DEVICESUPPORT = *SYSTEM/DEVICESUPPORT ON <familyname>'
'SL FONTSUPPORT = *SYSTEM/PRINT/FONTSUPPORT ON <familyname>'
Do not omit this step, even though the codefile title may remain
the same.
5. Use the 'PS RESTART' command, from the ODT or from MARC, to make
the new Print System active.
INSTALLING PRINTCENTER AND MCPPRT ON AN NX SYSTEM:
1. From each workstation which requires the new software
connect to the UTILS share on the MCP server updated above.
2. Within the UTILS share change to the appropriate directory
(either PRNTCNTR or MCPPRT) and run the SETUP.EXE program.
INSTALLING MCPPRT ON AN A SERIES SYSTEM:
Because disk shares cannot be created on an A series system
you must use another mechanism to copy the MCPPRT install file
from the MCP environment to the Microsoft Windows environment
and then install from there.
One file SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/MCPPRT/"WEBSETUP.EXE" is
all that is required to fully install the MCPPRT client on a
Windows PC. Since MCPPRT relies on TCP/IP you can normally
use FTP to copy this file, although any method which can
transfer binary files is acceptable.
To use the A Series FTP batch client to send this file to
a system running an FTP server enter:
COPY [FTP] *SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/MCPPRT/"WEBSETUP.EXE"
AS '\PUBLIC\WEBSETUP.EXE' (FTPTYPE=IMAGE)
TO DISK (DOMAINNAME="DOM", USERCODE=UC/PW)
Replace DOM with the system name and UC and PW with a valid
usercode and password on that system, replace PUBLIC with the
name of a directory to which user UC has write access.
Alternatively, to use the A Series FTP server to make this file
available to systems with an FTP client do the following:
Log in to the A Series using the usercode you plan to use
to FTP the file.
Copy *SYSTEM/NXSERVICES/UTILITIES/MCPPRT/"WEBSETUP.EXE"
as WEBSETUP-EXE (changing the name makes using A Series
FTP easier).
To use the Microsoft FTP client to copy the file to a client
workstation do the following.
From the client workstation run the FTP client program by
entering the 'FTP' command (without the quotes) at a command
prompt. Then enter the following commands:
OPEN <MCP host name>
USER <MCP Usercode> (Enter a password if one is requested)
TYPE IMAGE
GET WEBSETUP-EXE
QUIT
Rename the file you just copied by entering
RENAME WEBSETUP-EXE WEBSETUP.EXE
Then run the setup program by entering
WEBSETUP
Here is an example of how this might look, user input is
underlined:
c:\Scratch>ftp hostname
------------
Connected to hostname.mv.unisys.com.
220 Unisys A Series FTP Server (Version 45.122.065) ready.

230 User mcpusercode logged in; you may proceed.
ftp> type image

200 The TYPE has been set to Image.
ftp> get websetup-exe
----------------
200 The next Data Port open will be Active to 192.59.333.444 #474
150 Opening a Type Image Data connection for "WEBSETUP-EXE".
226 Transfer complete; Data connection closed.
X bytes received in X seconds (X Kbytes/sec)
ftp> quit
----
221 Good-bye.
c:\Scratch>rename websetup-exe websetup.exe
--------------------------------
c:\Scratch>websetup
--------
At this point the setup program should run.
EXCEPTION CONDITIONS:
Do not DS the *SYSTEM/PRINT/SUPPORT library unless it is absolutely
necessary because it may have the side effect of bringing MARC and
COMS down.
FALLBACK INSTRUCTIONS:
If a problem is encountered while using the PrintS software supplied
on this tape, please revert back to your previous version. This may
be accomplished by repeating the steps in the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, with step 1 omitted, and step 2 replaced with the
following:
2. Copy the old PrintS related files back to their original names.
For example, if the old PrintS related files were under the nodes
*OLD/SYSTEM/=, then enter: 'COPY *OLD/SYSTEM/= AS *SYSTEM/=
FROM <familyname> TO <familyname>'.
If the old PrintS related files were not kept on the system when
the new ones were installed, then they will have to be copied
from the previous correction or release tape.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
