The installation files for Argos onBoard are included in Argos installers directory. The default location for this folder is C:\Argos7Installers\Ricoh, but your location may be different.
- Browse to Ricoh folder
- Right-click RicohOnBoard.zip (filename may have version and date listed) and unzip using your preferred method
- Open Sepialine.dalp

If you have Ricoh MFPs in multiple offices, you can create an installation zip file for each office. |

Additional Settings
In the application-desc section of Sepialine.dalp, there are four possible settings that can be changed:
- IP argument stores the IP address of the communication service.
- PORT argument stores the port number for the Ricoh service. By default this is 7083, but in some cases it may be different.
- LOG_LEVEL is 0 by default. For debugging purposes, Sepialine Support may ask you to change this.
- ALLOW_BYPASSING_LOGIN is 0 by default. Do not change this unless directed by Sepialine Support.
Timeout Settings
On the device itself under System Settings->General features "Function Priority" must be set to JavaTM/X.
Under System Settings->Timer Settings "System Auto Reset Timer" must be set to a value less than the Argos application timeout. 10 seconds or so is recommended.
These two settings in combination are required to switch the device application back over to our embedded app and ensure our application locks the device after copying is complete. Without these settings set unless the user manually logs out or switches over to the Argos application then any user can make any number of copies and they wont be tracked.
