VC-20 GUIClient is an additional feature and support mechanism for both end-users and field service
personnel. With the duplicators that do not have any operation side LEDs such as model C261, there is
no way for VC20PrinterServer to communicate the duplicator’s condition to the operator, in this case VC-
20 GUIClient provides a superior mechanism for correctly displaying the duplicator condition to the
operator or service personnel. VC-20 GUIClient also provides two-way stream of communication
between the operator and the duplicator, this allows VC-20 GUIClient to display warning message when
paper size mismatch occurs, the operator can then instruct VC-20 GUIClient to continue making a master
when the size mismatch is corrected. This reduces wasted masters and paper. VC-20 GUIClient provides
a graphical view of the duplicator status, VC-20 and Job. VC-20 GUIClient also provides a mechanism to
change some of the default operating conditions of VC-20PrinterServer. Version information for both VC-
20 GUIClient and VC20PrinterServer can be viewed from VC-20 GUIClient.

the VC-20 GUIClient title bar or right click on the GUIClient
title bar.

2. VC-20 GUIClient Connection Status
The Red Cross (left) appears when VC20PrinterServer cannot configure VC-20 PCB. The green check
mark shows when it successfully configured VC-20 PCB.
The user can cancel the current job by pressing the “cancel” button in VC-20 GUIClient. When the
“cancel” button is pressed, VC-20 GUIClient sends a job cancel command to VC20PrinterServer.
VC20PrinterServer will stop processing the current job and delete the print data for current job. While the
job is being cancelled the button will be orange.
This function is only available when the job is shown on Job Tray (5.)
5. Job Tray
6. Duplicator Resolution
After VC20PrinterServer communicates with connected duplicator, VC-20 GUIClient will display the
resolution of the connected duplicator.
After VC20PrinterServer communicates with connected duplicator, VC-20 GUIClient will display the type
of drum in the duplicator. Black dots (left) mean black drum and the color dots (right) mean color drum.
With DD, which is not equipped with color drum detection feature such as the C261, the black dots are
always shown.
The VC-20 GUIClient displays a red cross for duplicator status if no duplicator had been detected by
VC20PrinterServer. After VC-20PrinterServer has correctly initialized, the icon will change to one of three
colors:
1) Green - The duplicator is in Idle condition.
2) Orange - The duplicator is in Busy condition.
3) Red - The duplicator is in Error condition or printing job not finished due to abnormal
condition.
