Testing your UC5E
Note: The UC5E keypad is not accessible if you have installed on the
ZipRip Pro X range of machines. The test page option is only
avaiable for the ZipRip ProA and B range of machines.
Once the UC5E has been installed, you can produce a test page before
continuing to install the printer drivers on your computer.
To produce a test page, put your Digital Duplicator “on-line” and press the
“T” Button (use tip of pen or similar object)
After a short delay a test page should be printed. The test page should look
like the illustration below.
Note that the test page will print as an A4 sheet on a 300dpi Digital Dupli-
cator. If the Digital Duplicator has a higher resolution then the output will
appear smaller. - This is normal.
If a test page is not created correctly, then refer to the section “Trouble-
shooting your UC5E

ActivityIndicator
The red activity indicators on the UC5E keypad show the status of the UC5E.
Note: The UC5E keypad is not accessible if you have installed on the
ZipRip Pro X range of machines. The activity of the UC5E in this case is
shown on the front of the machine. Refer to your machine operators
manual for name and position.
The table below explains the different status indications.

GDI Printer Driver Installation
NOTE: Before beginning the driver installation ensure you are in
possession of your Windows Operating System CD.
Once you have installed and tested your UC5E hardware, you will need to
install a GDI printer driver. Please follow the instructions relating to the
operating system installed on the PC connected to the UC5E.
Note: To allow fastest printing to the UC5E, we recommend that the parallel
port is set to “ECP Mode”. On most new PC’s this is the default setting.
However, on older PC’s you may have to set this in the BIOS configuration
utility. If you are unsure of how to do this, please check with your PC sup-
plier, or IT support staff. As a guide, most PC’s enter the BIOS when either
“delete” or “F1” keys are pressed at boot up. Once the BIOS programme is
runningthe“ParallelPort Mode” setting can generally be foundinthe“Chipset
Features” or “Integrated Peripherals” section.
The following pages will give detailed and illustrated instructions on how to
install the GDI Printer driver for the following operating systems:-
Windows 95/98
Windows NT
Windows 2000
WindowsXP

UC5e OM Rev2-1 July 2004 15
Installing GDI drivers for Windows 95/98/ME
Refertopage8 forcorrectmachineanddriversetting.
To install the driver you will need the UC5E Installation CD ROM and your
Windows operating system CD.
The first step is to add a printer driver. Choose the “Printers” menu from the
“Setting” menu in the Windows “Start” menu.

The “Add Printer Wizard” will be displayed. This will show a series of dia-
logue boxes with questions about the printer driver you are installing. Dia-
logues which require specific input for the UC5E are covered in the following
pages.
Choose “Local Printer” and click on “Next”.

Thefiles needed forthe UC5E printerdriver will nowbe installed. Depending
on how your system is configured, you may need to insert your Windows
Operating System CD as this holds some of the files needed by the printer
driver.
You now need to select the “Port” that the UC5E will be connected to. This is
normally LPT1:. If you have more than one parallel port on you PC, be sure
to select the appropriate port in this dialogue. Click “Next” once the port is
selected.
Enter the name that you wish the UC5E to be seen as on the computer. Click
“Next” once the name has been entered.

to ensure that the UC5E is functioning correctly.
The UC5E printer driver will now start to install. As this is installing, you
maybe prompted toinsert theWindowsOperating System CD.If you selected
“print test page” earlier on, the UC5E should print a Windows 95/98/ME test
page.
