Important:
• To identify the AIX operating system versions supported, please consult the RICOH InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Planning Guide.
• You must run the InfoPrint Manager Installer from the most recent Service DVD-ROM.
• Installation must be conducted under the root login and Korn shell 88.
• The InfoPrint Manager installation program creates a new local user account used for the application to run. The default system user is ipm1 and the default group is sys. The default password for the ipm1 user account is Inf0PrintManager.

Checking the operating system level

Enter oslevel -s from the command line to determine your OS level.

Checking the Korn shell level

InfoPrint Manager must be installed while logged into AIX as root. InfoPrint Manager requires Korn shell 88 (ksh88) for operation, and will not function properly if Korn shell 93 (ksh93) is used under root. Korn shell 93 can be used, however, under another login. To determine which version you are using, enter set -o emacs from the command line, and then press Ctrl v. You should get a response similar to Version M-11/16/88f (ksh88) or Version M-12/28/93e (ksh93).
