LAN Deployment

Using the Universal Document Converter as a network printer makes the software much more efficient. The program will be available to all users on the local-area network (based on assigned access privileges). The actual conversion will be performed on the server. Output files will also be saved on the server unless a different folder is specified in the conversion settings.

For LAN deployment, the Universal Document Converter must be installed on a server, and workstations must be configured.

Installing Software on Server

• Install the Universal Document Converter on the server.
• Once the installation is complete, open the standard Printers and Faxes dialog (Start->Printers and Faxes or My Computer->Control Panel->Printers and Faxes), right-click the Universal Document Converter printer, and select Sharing in the pop-up menu. Use the resulting dialog to enable the Share this printer option or change its standard network name, if required, and click OK.
  

• Select the Security tab to configure access to the Universal Document Converter and select users and their access privileges for the printer.
  

Configuring Workstations

• If a workstation is running a local copy of the Universal Document Converter whose version is different from the one on the server, this local copy must be removed. Open Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, find the Universal Document Converter in the list, and click Remove. Restart the computer once the software is removed.
• If a workstation is running a network copy of the Universal Document Converter whose version is different from the one on the server, this network copy must be removed. Open Printers and Faxes, select the Universal Document Converter, and press the DEL key. Reboot the computer.
• Install the Universal Document Converter network printer. Open the Printers and Faxes dialog, click the Add Printer link, and select the printer with the desired name (UDC, by default).
