Note
Activating a printer is required when you have a PlanetPress Suite Printer License,
unless you have the “Optimized Output” add-on in your Connect license, which grants
you the equivalent of PlanetPress Production in Connect Workflow. Note that even then,
“printer-centric” output requires a printer license.
Printer activations are normally given to you by the activations department electronically,
including a file that will automatically add all your printers in this dialog.
To display the Activate a Printer dialog, click the Printer Activation button from the Help
menu.
The printer list displays the following information
l
License Number: Reference number of the activation, linked to your customer account.
l
Magic Number: The magic number generated by the printer. If the magic number is
incorrect, your jobs will output with a watermark on that printer.
l
Activation Code: The activation code generated by your license number and magic
number. If the activation code is incorrect, your jobs will output with a watermark on that
printer.
l
Printer Name (Optional): Name and/or model of the printer.
l
Comments (Optional): Comments about the printer.
The following buttons are available in this dialog:
l
Add: Brings up the Printer Activation dialog. This dialog lets you enter the information
for the printer (see previous section), then click OK to save the new activation.
l
Delete: Removes the currently selected activation from the list.
l
Web Activation: Click to access the online activation manager on our website.
l
OK: Save changes and exit.
