Installing DoC

DoC software enables you to print from any application with copies, overlays and logos. You can print single or two-sided, with or without toner saving. You can print from any combination of input trays to different output bins. You can print documents to your local printer and copies to other printers - all automatically.

DoC Installation

The program you receive is a complete version, but until it is registered, it will be restricted to:

Full functionality is unlocked on registration.

Server Installation

There are two stages to the installation.

  1. Install the DoC program
  2. Configure DoC using the DoCCommander program

1 Installing DoC

  1. Check that you have sufficient access rights to install programs, add services and to add a local printer.
  2. Check that the printer you will be using with DoC has the latest PCL5e, PCL5c or PCL6 driver installed and that it is functioning correctly.
  3. Close all open programs.
  4. If you are installing from a CD, the installation program should start automatically.
    If not, run ‘setup.exe’ from the CD or from the folder where you saved the DoC installation program.
  5. During installation, you will be given several options. The following notes assume that have accepted the defaults.
  6. During installation, a prompt will give you the option to stop and restart the print spooler. If you select the ‘No’ option, you must manually restart the print spooler or your computer following installation.
    Error message?
  7. After the installation, is complete, the DoC icon (a small red printer) may be seen in the lower status bar on the right of the screen.
    No icon?
  8. If DoC is installed on a server, you need to install DoC WorkStation on each PC if you want ‘PopUp’ menus available.
  9. If you selected ‘Install Demonstration Files’ during installation a number of demo documents are put into the directory C:\DoCPrint\DemoDocs. The demo documents provided will demonstrate the functionality of the DoC program.

Configure DoC

The DoCCommander program is used to configure and administer DoC. This can be found in ‘Start -> Programs -> AptDoC’.

Options tab

Use the ‘Options’ tab to select the number of input trays and output bins available, choose the default paper size and tray mapping. (If you select ‘Media Type’ then tray selection is done by tray mapping rather than physical position so you also need to set the same mapping in the ‘Paper handling’ menu on the output printer.) In this tab, you can also set the default paper size, input tray and output bin. Default will only be used when no other selection is made.

‘Use PopUp Menu’

Select ‘Use PopUp Menu’ to print using the PopUp Menu. If DoC is installed on the server, you must ensure that the ‘Use PopUp Menu’ check box is clear. However, if you need to use the PopUp menu, installing DoC WorkStation on each PC enables you to use PopUp menu.

You have now configured DoC with one DoCPort. Repeat these steps to configure the other DoCPorts.
Details on creating print profiles and overlays are in the user manual.

This completes the basic installation. You should send a test print to the DoC printer and check that it prints correctly to the destination printer.
