Each password can be changed or disabled via additional menu items that 
are displayed once Passwords have been enabled.

Printer Set-up Menu

The   TCP   autoloader   will   automatically   detect   all   supported   USB   Disc 
printers.     Other   options   in   this   menu   are   printer   specific,   or   TrueNet 
specific.  Please refer to the TrueNet user manual for more information on 
printing via TrueNet.

Network Set-up Menu

The   TCP   autoloader   can   be   connected   to   an   Ethernet   network   and   be 
controlled   by  TrueNet,   a   R-Quest   application.     TrueNet   allows   users   to 
start, monitor and/or stop duplication or printing jobs from their desktop PC/
Mac computers.     For most users, the network connectivity will be ‘plug-
and-play’, and require no ‘set-up’.  By default, the TCP autoloader will ship 
from the factory with DHCP enabled, which means that the TCP autoloader 
will automatically receive an IP address from a DHCP server on your local 
network.  However, if your network does not have a DHCP server, or you 
need to use the TCP autoloader and TrueNet on different sub-nets, please 
contact your network administrator for advice.

Use DHCP

Setting this option to YES means that the TCP autoloader will automatically 
acquire an IP address on your local area network (DHCP server required). 
Setting this option to NO means that you will have to allocate a fixed IP 
address and manually enter this in the Network Set-up (see Duplicator IP).

Set Network Name

To give the TCP a recognisable network name, select this option and enter 
a user chosen name.  By default the name will be “R-Quest xxxxx” where 
“xxxxx” is the serial number of the TCP autoloader.  When using TrueNet 
software, this is the name that is see by TrueNet and used to identify which 
TCP autoloader to send jobs to.   When using multiple TCP autoloaders on 
the same network, each system should have a unique name.

Duplicator IP  (only when Use DHCP = NO)

Enter a fixed IP address for the TCP autoloader.  This must be on the local 
subnet.     If   you   are   unsure   about   what   IP   address   to   set,   consult   your 
network   administrator,   or   set   Use   DHCP=Yes.     The   IP   address   must 
contain all 12 digits, including leading zeros, e.g. 192.168.6.52 should be 
entered as 192.168.006.052.
