Installation and Setup

Installation and setup of Shipper Local.

  1. Installation

    DPD Shipper can be installed in two ways. The differences are as followed:

    • When installed as a Windows application, the program can access all printers and network drives installed on your computer. However, the program must be run manually.
    • When installed as a Windows service, the program is running in the background at all times and does not need to be started manually. However, by default, the service does not have access to printers that have been installed on a print server and then shared.

    Start the installation by running the setup file ‘DPD Shipper_X_X.exe’. You can find the most recent version here.

     

     

  2. Install .NET Framework

    If the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.8.1 is not already installed on your computer, you will be prompted with the option to install .Net Framework 4.8.1  or newer.

    If you are not prompted to install the .NET Framework, please continue with one of the following points.

  3. Installation as an application

    For installation as a Windows application, select ‘Application’ after starting the installation file and choose the database you want to use. After selecting the wanted database, click on ‘Install’.

    If selected database is PostgreSQL you must have set up PostgreSQL database. Default PostgreSQL port is 5433. Important: Must be created log database too. Example: {PostgreSQLDatabaseName}_log

    Default DPD Shipper port is 8080.
