Printers, copiers, multifunctionals

Preparation

Before a printer copier or multifunctional can be used in the system an Inepro terminal must be connected.

Installing a terminal at a printer, copier or multifunctional is a task that can only be executed by an Inepro Certified

Engineer, ask the vendor for such an engineer when adding or removing such machines to or from the system.

Make sure that the required data such as the IP address (or IP-range) of this terminal and the address of the server are

known by Inepro.

Make sure that a network and power outlet are available at the location of the vending machine.

The terminal is powered separately and requires an additional power outlet, and an

additional network outlet!

On site

Connect the device, and the terminal to a power outlet and their network cable(s) to a network outlet.

It is possible that the device and the terminal share a network cable.
