PTBurn SDK Version 2.6.4 12/15/2006 Welcome to the Primera PTBurn developers kit for the Disc Publisher. What is on this disc: * Installer for the PTBurn Server software. See Appendix B in PTBurn SDK.doc for installation directions. * PxEngine directory. See Appendix B for details on installing the burning engine (PxEngine). NOTE that the PxEngine is now installed by SETUP.EXE (there is no need to run PXSETUP.EXE if you install PTBurn with the included SETUP.EXE). * Installer for the PTBurn sample Client (1.001) * Source code for the PTBurn sample Client (Visual C++ 6.0 project) * PTBurn SDK documentation - PTBurn SDK.doc * PTBurnHistory.txt which gives a change log. ***** To run PTBurn as a member of the Users Group you will need to change some permissions on files/registry settings. The steps to do this are included in Primera's Knowledge base at www.primera.com/knowledgebase.html and search for "PTBurn User" Setup Instructions: -------------------------- 1. If you have a previous version of PTBurn SDK installed, uninstall that version through Window's "Add or Remove Progams". 2. See the SDK documentation (Appendix B) for installing the PTBurn server. 3. To install a sample client application which utilizes the PTBurn server, run Setup.exe in the Client/Install folder to install the Primera sample Client software. Install this on any computer from which you want to send jobs to the PTBurn server (can be on the same computer as the PTBurn server software). Note: that source code is provided in the Client\Source folder if you want to use as a reference in creating your own front-end software. Operation Instructions: -------------------------------- 1. Follow the directions to install the printer driver and software on the installation disc that came with the Disc Publisher. This should be done on the server computer. 2. Connect the Disc Publisher to the server computer and launch the PTBurn Server from the Start menu. 2. You will be prompted to choose a folder on one of the local hard drives to be designated as the Shared Jobs Folder -- this is the location where all clients submit their Job Request File (and write their job data). This should be on a hard drive with plenty of free space. 3. If you have more than one external recordable drive on your computer you will have to specify which drive belongs to the Disc Publisher in the next dialog. 4. The PTBurn software will now monitor the Shared Jobs Folder for any requests from clients (including the sample Client) -- see PTBurn SDK.doc for the job request file format details. The included PTBurn Client sample application is for your reference, and should help you design your own front-end interface to the PTBurn software. (The one change needed for the included sample Client is that the ClientID key must be submitted in the Message file (.PTM), and the ClientID must match the submitted Job Request File ClientID for the Server to honor the Abort request.)
