and Setup
This document explains how to use the GUI associated with the 490/980 Color Continuous
Feed Printing System. The GUI is located on the Touch Screen directly on the Printer as well as
on a remote PC (the PC-GUI). This document explains all of the GUI operations on both
locations. Unless otherwise noted, operations are found on both the printer as well as the PCGUI. Operational buttons may be located differently on each GUI, but how the operational
button works will be similar.
The PC-GUI is a control software program that is installed on a remote PC. The PC-GUI allows
you to operate your printer from a remote location.
PC-GUI Setup
Before proceeding with the PC-GUI setup, ensure that you do following:
•That you are logged on as an administrator or from a user account with administrator
privileges.
