How to keep your PAX-it
system running smoothly....
CD-ROM Drives

Setting up Network Drives

drive to store your PAX-it images.
100X Printing
This page will provide you with information on how
to capture an image via an analog camera or a digital camera and print to a digital
printer and have the printout actually be 100x.
NEW CARTRIDGE
A removable drive such as an Iomega Zip, Jaz or
Bernoulli drive, can be used with PAX-it. Each cartridge contains its own database.
To speed up database routines, PAX-it stores the database for each cartridge in
memory (RAM). Warning!! If you have an image open (displayed) from
one cartridge, and then you change cartridges, you will get unpredictable and damaging
results when you attempt to change the database information or edit the video text for
that image.
Here is how to avoid a problem: When you wish to insert a new cartridge, select IMAGES then NEW
CARTRIDGE. This will insure that the database is properly closed and you have no
images left open from the previous cartridge.
KEEP YOUR HARD DRIVE AND
OTHER STORAGE MEDIA CLEAN
Run scandisk frequently and defragment your media often.
Often problems can occur if your computer is not shut down properly, running these
utilities often can prevent disaster. Also, make sure that you have enough disk space. Do
not let your hard drive get down below 30 Megs of hard disk space. Windows needs a lot of
disk space to operate. You should also clean your TEMP directory often and remove any .TMP
files.
YOU CAN ADD OR CHANGE THE
SOUNDS IN PAX-it
You can edit your PAXIT.INI file so the system will play different
sounds when you perform some operations. Use the following headings and insert the name of
each wave file:
[Sounds]
cabopen = {wavefile}
folderopen = {wavefile}
Save = {wavefile}
Freeze = {wavefile}
GoLive = {wavefile}
[StartUp]
Sound_20 = {wavefile}
BACK UP YOUR DATABASE OFTEN
You will want to regularly backup your database. Select DATABASE
then UTILITIES then BACKUP DATABASE. Using your Explorer of File Manager you may want to
copy the resulting .MDB file to a floppy disk or another storage media. This WILL NOT
backup your images, but it will back up your database. |
