Status Monitor Icon

The Windows printer driver for your MFP includes a status monitor, which appears in the
system tray on the taskbar of the server. Please note the following conditions:

• The status monitor must be running on the fax server PC. Never start Unimessage Pro LAN

• Network clients should not run the status monitor—see the following section.

Setting up Clients on a Network

Unimessage Pro LAN can be installed on up to 5 clients (1 administrator and 4 clients). The
MFP connected to the fax server PC is shared among these 5 users. When you do this, do not install
the client copies from the CD-ROM—only one scheduler can run on a network at a time. Follow this
procedure:

Note: If you are using Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, make sure you have administrator

access rights.

1. If the drive where Unimessage Pro is installed is not mapped on the client:

a. Use Network Neighborhood to browse to the folder where Unimessage Pro is installed and

shared.
b. Right click on the Unimessage Pro folder and select Map network drive from the menu.
c. Select a suitable drive letter.

2. Select the Client folder on the mapped drive and run SETUP.EXE.

3. Confirm the drive where Unimessage Pro is installed; the suggested drive is usually correct.
After registering the location of its components and installing any required updates, restart
Windows. Unimessage Pro continues installation. Follow the instructions carefully. For details on
all installation options, see the User’s Guide, which you can read by clicking View Unimessage
Pro User’s Guide from the Setup menu.

Note: When you start Unimessage Pro on a client, you may see a dialog saying “Unimessage

Pro is having difficulty communicating with the scheduler over the network...Awaiting
response from Scheduler.” Click Abort, and Unimessage Pro will start normally.
