Configuring the automatic download of InfoPrint Select for Windows

The update server can be configured to download automatically InfoPrint Select for Windows on the client machines.
  1. Start Command Prompt.
    Note: You must have administrator privileges or the account you use must be in the ipmupdategroup group. If you are running Command Prompt using an administrator account, make sure that you select the Run as Administrator option.
  2. Type ipmupdateserverctl freeze and press the Enter key to enter Maintenance mode.
    Note: The Maintenance mode unlocks the product path folder and you can add and remove any files contained in the product path subdirectories. While in Maintenance mode, the InfoPrint Manager Update Server does not accept any new connections from the client systems.
  3. Copy ipm_select.cfg from <install_dir>\cfg-samples\ to <configuration_dir>.
    Note: The default installation directory is c:\Program Files\RICOH\InfoPrint Manager Update Server and the default configuration directory is c:\ProgramData\RICOH\InfoPrint Manager Update Server\.
  4. To specify the global settings and create filters, edit the ipm_select.cfg file. See Sample ipm_select.cfg file for more details about the configuration file.
  5. Copy the InfoPrint Select kit from the RICOH InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients DVD-ROM to <configuration_dir>\Products\InfoPrint Select\Windows\<product_version>\Kit\.
  6. Copy the installation scripts from <install_dir>\cfg-samples\scripts\ to <configuration_dir>\Windows\<product_version>\Kit\.
      Note:
    • The installation scripts are install_InfoPrint_Select_new.cmd, install_InfoPrint_Select_repair.cmd, install_InfoPrint_Select_update.cmd.
  7. Create the response files with these names: setup_new.iss, setup_update.iss, setup_repair.iss.
    To create your own response files:
    1. To create your own response file, invoke the InfoPrint Select installer in record mode: InfoprintSelect. exe /r . This command produces a response file named setup.iss based on the inputs used during installation. The setup.iss file is located by default in %WINDIR% folder.
    2. InfoprintSelect.exe is located in the \win\InfoprintSelect folder of the RICOH InfoPrint Manager: Common Clients DVD-ROM.
