Paul, This is the only QMDI press of which I have any experience but I'm starting to think the Pro is maybe different. Yes it is a PC running Windows NT Workstation but there's no keyboard or PS2 port and there's no way to attach a normal monitor. The PC boots straight into the Heidelberg...

Thanks for your suggestion Paul, I thought the control strip was generated on the press but I didn't know you could output other tests directly from the press console. How would you do this, I haven't seen any menus for it in the UI. There is a service menu but I have no idea how to access that...

It is taking hours for our QMDI to display the job on screen. If we ignore this and just try to image a plate that also takes forever and some parts of the image are missing anyway. Even the colour bars (that the QMDI generates itself) are not imaging fully - some blocks are missing. I feel...

Jan, Could you please explain how to do CTORIP backup?

Hi, I recently went through the same thing with a client's DI & Delta. There's a few pieces to the puzzle and Marc has provided some of them. Machine name must be QM_RIP1. You'll also need to configure Services for Macintosh to see the Print queues. You need to use the correct IP for the Press...

Sincere thanks for your help Andy, I'll let you know how I get on, some sleep might help!

Is the DI set up to work with username = QM_PRESS1 and no password? And could I use that to log into NT4?

I think I am okay because from the RIP, I can see the DI has created its own workgroup in Network Neighbourhood and I can see a PC called QuickMaster. I have joined the RIP to that Workgroup and the other NIC is publishing the AppleTalk queues okay. I should have mentioned that NETBEUI is...

No keyboard port. MightyAndy, hi and many thanks for the pictures and advice. I actually just found a PS2 to DIN adapter in my junk box! (It came with an ancient Wacom tablet that I used to have.) The trouble is I cannot find the port for it, is it because we have the Pro press which uses a...

Hello, I have read lots of help that requires using a keyboard but I can't make it work. I have tried connecting a PS2 keyboard to the press using one of the PS2 ports on the back of the tower hidden under the console. It works in as far as I can use the DEL key to get into the BIOS setup (which...

I would love to see that PM!

Using a Keyboard I have tried connecting a keyboard to the press using one of the PS2 ports on the back of the tower located under the console. It works in as far as I can use the DEL key to get to the BIOS setup (which is password protected) but I cannot make Alt-X or any other combination of...
