This section of the document is provided to guide in the installation of the drivers and programs needed to utilize the ManEx feature of printing directly to PDF files.

The first step is to obtain the file winsteng.exe from Adobe. This is the installation program for installing and configuring the Adobe PS Driver. It is recommended that you setup a file folder to receive this download. You may wish to call it “Utilities”, or you may already have such a folder. The file may has been attached to this article below or can be obtained at this URL:   http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500 this link will also provide you detailed information pertaining to the utility you are about to download and install.
Please review the full text, then click on  download. You may then see (depending on your system setup) a caution message before proceeding with the download:   Depress "Save" , locate the file to save to, then proceed with the download.
Then run the executable file winsteng.exe
The Drive Setup Begins:
Select the Printer Installatin Type as "Install a new PostScript Printer"
Select the Printer Connection Type as "Local Printer"
Local Port Selection will usually be LPT1
Select Printer Model, and make sure that defaulted Generic PostScrip Printer is highlighted.
The Printer information will be displayed.  Do not change the Printer name.  It needs to be left exactly as "Generir PostScript Printer"  Otherwise ManEx System will be unble to locate the printer. Make sure that it is not set to be your default Printer and change the test page radial to "No."
The Setup Information will then be displayed.  Depress the Install button.
Confirm that the "Genric PostScript Printer" has been installed onto this machine.  NOTE:  That you have to leave the printer named as displayed, if you change the name the Manex system will not know where to locate the printer.

It has been recorded that Vista, Windows 7, and Win 2008 Server operating systems sometimes have issues when the users attempt to install the Adobe PS Drivers and Ghost Script Printer install.  

The screen that is presented to the users is similar to the image to the right.
After depressing the OK button, then the following is displayed. Depressing Either Resume or Exit Setup will result in the installation just not launching.
It has been suggested to go to the Installation program (winsteng.exe) and right click on it and select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab and check the “Run this program in Compatibility mode for:” and then select (Windows XP SP2) option.
Then attempt to install the Adobe PS Drivers again.
If a message similar to the following is received when the system attempts to install the Driver, we suggest that you check the Security restrictions of your Server/Machine. It could be set to disable Drivers from being installed.   Also make sure that you are logged in as the Adminstrator Account on the machine.

Depress the "Start" button / Settings / Printer and Fax.  Once in the screen then select to "Add a Printer"
Follow the Printer Setup prompts.  When you get to the "Install Printer Software" screen, go through and find any printer that has a "PS" at the end (Post Script). Continue on with the installation.
When you come to the point of the installation where you need to determine the Printer Name, make sure that you change it to "Generic PostScript Printer" .
Once finished with the installation process there should be a "Generic PostScript Printer" setup on your machine.    Once you have made sure that Ghost Script software has also been installed on this machine, you should then be able to export PDF files out of the ManEx system.
