PC Client Manual Installation

You can run either the MSI file, or the setup.exe wrapper to perform manual installation. If you want to view the Installer screens in a language other than English, run the setup.exe instead of the MSI to enable language selection.

  1. Double-click the Ricoh Streamline NX PC Client.msi.

    When User Account Control is enabled, the User Account Control window appears. Click [Yes].

  2. Click [Next] on the start installation window.

  3. Read the entire software license agreement. If you agree, select [I accept the terms in the license agreement], and then click [Next].

  4. Specify whether to install a specific version of Java or use Java Runtime Environment installed on the system, and then click [Next].

    • [Install Java Runtime for Streamline NX]: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed, and SLNX PC Client uses only the installed JRE.

    • [Use System Java Runtime]: JRE is not installed, and SLNX PC Client uses the JRE installed on the system.

    When you select [Use System Java Runtime], confirm the following:

    • The SLNX PC Client uses Java 8, so Java 8 must be installed in the system.

    • A single version of Java must be installed on the system. Multiple JREs on a computer are not supported.

    • Only Oracle and Correto JREs are supported currently as the system JRE used by RICOH Streamline NX PC Client.

  5. Specify the installation folder, and click [Next].

    Specify the installation destination of the system and the data save destination.

    The print job data of Client Secure Print is encrypted and stored in the data save destination.

  6. Configure the following settings on the Delegation Server settings window, and then click [Next].

    • [Server Name or IP Address]: Enter the server name or IP address of the Delegation Server. You can specify multiple servers by separating them using a comma.

    • [HTTP port]: Enter the HTTP port number of the Delegation Server. The default is 9090.

    • [HTTPS port]: Enter the HTTPS port number of the Delegation Server. The default is 52443.

  7. Enter the security connection key, and click [Next].

    The security connection key ensures that only clients that know the connection key can connect to other services in Streamline NX. The security connection key entered during installation of the RICOH Streamline NX PC Client must match the one that was entered during installation of the Core Server.

  8. Enter the Scope, and click [Next].

    Enter the string to be used by the SLNX PC Client to locate the Delegation Server automatically using the SLP protocol. If you are using the SLP protocol, leave the field empty and click [Next].

  9. Enter the name of the profile, and click [Next].

    If you do not specify a location profile, the default profile will be applied.

  10. Configure the SSL server option, and click [Next].

    • [Do not use SSL]: SSL is not used. When SSL is not used, only the password is encrypted, and communication is performed with plaintext.

    • [Self-signed Certificate]: se self-signed certificates.

    • [Windows Local Certificate Authority]: Use Windows Authentication authority certificates. Enter the template name to use when generating an SSL certificate.

      For details about the SSL certificate templates, see the Microsoft website.

  11. To trust all certificates, select [Trust all Certificates], and click [Next].

  12. Specify the HTTP or HTTPS port number used to obtain the print settings from the Delegation Server, and click [Next].

    The default HTTP port number is 58008, and the default HTTPS port number is 58443.

  13. Select the authentication method for the print jobs in the Authentication Method window, and click [Next]. Depending on the settings configured by the administrator, this setting will be ignored.

    • [Use User Name and Password Authentication]: The User Name and Password specified by the user are used for authentication.

    • [Use Windows Authentication]: Windows logon user name and password are used for authentication.

    • [OpenID Connect Authentication]: To use OpenID Connect authentication information, the administrator can configure the settings from the PC Client Location Profile.

  14. Select the software update method, and click [Next].

    You can update the software when the installer for the new version is stored on a Delegation Server.

    • [Install updates automatically]: Updates are automatically installed.

    • [Check for updates automatically but choose whether to install or not]: Check for updates and specify whether or not to install them.

    • [Disable auto update]: Updates are not checked.

    To update the software, store the SLNX PC Client installer in .zip format on the Delegation Server. If the data save destination on the Delegation Server has not been changed, the system checks the version of the installer stored in one of the following paths. When a new version is found, the system updates the software at startup of the software.

    C:\ProgramData\Ricoh\Streamline NX\data\repository\software_upgrades\PCCLIENT\X64
