Section 1: Software Setup

Thank you for purchasing the PTPublisher NE software.  

For additional help with the PTPublisher software please refer

to the software help files.  These can be accessed by

clicking the 

? icon

located in the upper right corner of

any PTPublisher window.

Note on Terms and Conventions
Robot and Disc Publisher and Publisher

will be used inter-

changeably.  They all refer to the hardware that burns, prints

and transports the discs.

Server Computer

refers to the computer that the Disc

Publisher is connected to which is the same computer that is

running the PTPublisher service.

Network Robot

refers to the Disc Publisher as it is seen by any

client computer running PTPublisher. Network robots can only

be connected to server computers.

A. INSTALLING THE SERVER SOFTWARE

After you have downloaded the server software, install it on a

computer which has the Disc Publisher physically connected 

to it. 
Reboot the computer to start the PTPublisher Service. The 

server software installs as a Windows service so it will not

appear in the list of installed programs after it has been

installed. However, the program files will be installed on the

computer’s local hard drive in the Program Files - Primera

Technology folder. 

Note:

Before using the Network Software, you must also install all software

from the Disc Publisher installation disc according to that products

manual.
