One machine should be used to store all projects, background files, and user images. Select a
machine which will always be turned on and always accessible on the network. This machine will
be called the “Server.”
It is not necessary to install IMPRESS Composer on the server machine… it will just be used to
store project files and images.
Users on other computers will access files which are stored on this machine, so it is important that
it remain powered on and connected to the LAN at all times.
Change the paths within IMPRESS Composer setup (default project folder, stock image path, etc)
to point to locations on this ‘server’ using mapped network drives (talk to your network administra-
tor for details).
If the designated ‘server’ also has IMPRESS Composer installed on it, it is important that this PC
use the same mapped network drive letters (effectively referring to itself in the 3rd person).

Users who wish to add an image file or background to a project should copy that file to a designated
area on the server. If they use a file which is on their local hard drive, it will not be available when
other users attempt to open the project, which could cause undesirable results as images disappear
from pages.

Windows stores fonts locally on a machine. Ensure that all of the fonts on one machine are also
installed on all of the other machines. (Observe copyright and royalty restrictions when copying
fonts.)
If an individual user wishes to add a font for use in IMPRESS composer, that font will have to be
installed on all machines.

While a user has a particular project open, other users should not attempt to open or edit the same
project. In such cases, the last person to save “wins”, and any other changes will be lost.

The “Sites” tab in the setup menu will have to be configured for each machine running IMPRESS
Composer. If you add a new IMPRESS unit or change its site parameters (phone # or IP address),
you will have to change the Site setup in each copy of IMPRESS Composer.
