1 Introduction
Before you begin installing KODAK PROFESSIONAL Digital Print Production Software
(DP2), there are few things to think about before you begin. First decide if you are
installing on the server/client, or will one computer run DP2. Also, whether this
install is a first time install or an upgrade from a previous version or beta version.
Here are a few common terms that you should be familiar with before installation.
• A server is a computer that is running DP2 and holds the database. The machine
need not be running Windows Server software.
• A workstation (client) is any computer that runs DP2 but shares the database
with other computers (server) and/or workstations.
• A stand-alone installation is a computer that runs both the software and the
database and has no other machines connected to the database.
If you are setting up a stand-alone computer, proceed to section 7.4 Installing DP2
on stand-alone workstations (JET database), otherwise, continue with the next
section.

2 Setting up Microsoft Windows

Setting up Microsoft windows is slightly different for each Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 2000 and Windows XP. A complete set of instructions for each is covered in
the following sections.
One of the most important features of the DP2 environment is that you can monitor
the entire system from any workstation. Changes made on one workstation are
immediately visible from all other workstations. This enables an operator to watch
the progress of a job through the system.

3 Virtual Memory settings for different Operating Systems

Below are the formulas to determine the recommended virtual memory setting for
your operating system. These are the recommended settings for your operating
systems virtual memory This section provides you with the formulas for WINDOWS
NT WINDOWS 2000 and Windows XP. Go the specific sections for help on how to
change the settings for your system.
Notes:
If you have at least half a gigabyte or more of memory on your computer the
default setting should be enough for your largest scans.
For more help on Virtual Memory, refer to your OS online help.

Operating System Formula

Windows 2000 RAM x 3 (do not exceed 2GB)
Windows XP RAM x 3 (do not exceed 2GB)
