The contents of this file can be printed or used to JHQHUDWH D VSUHDGVKHHW ILOH (the spreadsheet file can also automatically be generated/updated at the end of each marker). - The number and access time to the maintenance mode of the microplotter are automatically saved in a "PDLQWHQDQFHPDQDJHPHQW" file. The contents of this file can be printed. - Errors encountered during the cutter’s work can be printed as they appear. They can also be saved in an HUURUVILOH. The contents of this file can be printed by the user when needed. 521404 July 2001 - Edition 1 PRELIMINARY Time Management – V5.x 6RIWZDUHFRQILJXUDWLRQ Time Management can be installed on any Windows 2000 work station. It is essential to consult the "getting started" documentation on the correct use of the Windows environment: - the document supplied with all new PCs: "Introducing Microsoft Windows for distribution with a new PC only": - which presents Windows - which takes users through their first steps in the new environment - which shows how to install programs - which shows how to use the Windows interface to open and safe files - the Windows Administrator Tool (code 521340), for the installation and configuration of the Windows utilities developed by Lectra for its own applications. - N-Manager: to manage workstations connected to the network - E-Manager: to configure units and language preferences - etc… +DUGZDUHFRQILJXUDWLRQ It is the same as the hardware configuration required to use GraphicPilot. Configure at least one printer to printout a copy of the management states. 6RIWZDUHLQVWDOODWLRQ When installing the software it is important to follow the procedure described in the document Windows Administrator Tool (ref. code 521340).
