1. Download the Mac client installer  here.


2. Find the downloaded DMG file in your browser's Downloads folder and double-click it to mount it. You should see this window.



3. Drag  the application PrintPoint 7 Client  onto the shortcut to your Applications folder to copy it to your hard drive.

4. Go to the /Applications/PrintPoint 7 Client.app and use COMMAND+I to open the Get Info dialog for the application.

a) Check the Sharing & Permissions section at the bottom to be sure all users and groups have Read & Write permissions. If not, click the lock and enter your OS password to gain permission to make changes and set all items in the list to Read & Write. Then use the ... popup button to Apply to Enclosed if the item is available on your version of MacOS.


b) On Mx Macs, if your server is running on Windows using PrintPoint 7000_19_318 or earlier, you'll need to also check the 'Open using Rosetta' checkbox, shown here:



c) Close the Get Info dialog when changes are complete.


5. Return to the mounted DMG window and open the folder 'fonts to install for PP7' and install the included fonts.

6. Go to your Applications folder and double-click the PrintPoint 7 Client.app and immediately hold the OPTION key down as it starts bouncing in the dock. This signals the app to present the Connection to 4D Server dialog so you can create your initial connection:


Enter in your Project Name. The name is not important - we use PP7 for convenience.


Enter the Network Address in the Custom tab, similar to what's shown above. The network address should be "YourServerIPAddress:21813", similar to what you see in the picture above.


You'll need to get the actual value for YourServerIPAddress from someone at your location. This could be an IT person or someone similar.


When ready, click OK to try connecting to the server.


7. If successful, you'll see a set of thermometers showing progress with synchronizing local cache files from the server. After syncing, PrintPoint will initialize and you can login using a pre-created user account or an Administrator account.



If not successful, check with the IT person from whom you got the Network Address to verify that the address you entered is correct, and the firewall on the server has inbound and outbound rules enabled to allow the PrintPoint Server access. If other clients are already connected, the issue is likeliy just a mis-type on the Network Address in the step above, or the firewall on the client machine needs to allow the PrintPoint 7 Client application to have access to the network.
