Summary of Installation Steps:
To use the Network Printer with KeepnTrack you will first need to follow several configuration
steps. You will need to go through this process for each of the printers you have purchased.
You will only have to do this once for each printer as your settings will remain unless the
network is changed or the security configuration certificate expires. Each certificate generated
by COMPanion is valid for the next twenty years.
