PrintShop Web Installation Guide | 6
Notes
•
Make sure that port 80 and/or port 443 are available for the Apache web server that comes with
PrintShop Web.
•
USB slot (not required for testing). Your server musts have a USB port to which the hardware key
('dongle') can be attached.
•
Your network should be an Ethernet (TCP/IP) network, which is by far the most commonly used
network today.
•
You should have a high speed Internet connection, and a fixed outgoing IP address, which implies
that you can run a web server.
•
The PrintShop Web server should be directly connected to the RIP or Printer. This means that
the PrintShop Web server should be located on your local network (same subnet), on your
premises, and not at your ISP's (Internet Service Provider, the company that provides your Internet
connection).
•
Your router should be configured to allow incoming HTTP connections over port 80. Your network
administrator or your ISP should know how to enable this.
•
In some occasions, it is not possible to install PrintShop Web on an existing web server. Network
Administrators will find more information on this topic in the Installation Guide.
•
The PrintShop Web server has a built-in email server. This email server will send email notifications
to you and your customers when the order status changes. You'll need to know your ISP's SMTP
server address (usually something like smtp.yourprovider.com)
