Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation:

Ensure you have met the system requirements for your multi-functional products (MFP) and Equitrac installation.
If you are using an eSF 5.0 device, you need to update to eSF 6.0 before installing the latest embedded client for Lexmark.
Some Lexmark devices cannot run embedded applications, or require memory upgrades before they can run third-party applications. Consult your Lexmark vendor to ensure your MFP devices can run third party additions.
Obtain the IP address or DNS name for the Equitrac Device Control Engine (DCE) server.
Install or upgrade your Equitrac server applications or database.
Ensure Java software version 1.6 or higher is installed on the system from which you are installing the Equitrac Embedded application.
Open the appropriate firewall settings. To enable communication between the MFP and the server, copier access to the server requires port 2939. To enable remote installation via ftp on copiers, open ports 20 and 21.
Ensure your MFP devices have enough physical memory to run the embedded application. We recommend a minimum of 512MB of RAM.

To install and configure the Equitrac embedded and server components, you must have administrative access (including valid Windows network credentials with assigned administrative rights) to the network machine hosting the web service, and to the machine hosting the Equitrac server components. Do not install USB readers before loading the software. Installing USB drivers at this time results in undesired behaviors during the installation process (that is, the installation will “hang”).
