1. The APM and/or Lab 50 machine needs to be able to see the DKS machine across the local area network and vice versa. There are some special considerations for the networking, and based upon the current network configuration, some or all of these items may need to be setup in order to print to the DKS:
**Note: These settings are overwritten anytime a DKS receives a software update, so if a customer does change the DKS network settings, they should definitely record what the IP address is before updating. It will always need to be a static IP.

The Setup Wizard is used to configure the APM to print to the KIS-DKS Printer Interface.
This process includes the following steps:
1. Adding the printer interface and editing the general settings.
2. Setting DKS priority levels.
3. Product setup from within the interface.
4. Assigning printable products to the interface.
