The Usb emulator

The Usb emulator is made by a powerful microprocessor that simulate the job of 8 Mimaki Original Id Chips!

It works like the Original Mimaki original chip! He accept Read command, Write commands and he have internal memory! The printer will never Know if he is using a original or a simulated chip! When one chip is empty, you just need to press a button and you will download a new one from our database! Automatically the printer counter will be at 9 and you will be able to print more 500ml of ink!

You can discard any chip at any time allowing you to keep the machine running for long jobs, without worries about chip end!

You can download 8 spare liters of ink and keep them as spares inside Emulator PCb to prevent problems in case of internet connection down!
his version is designed for Ink producers , ink distributors and machine dealers!

With it, the dealer can control all the printers they have installed on their customers.

The dealer will install a PCB on the customer machine and will install the Emulink Software on Rip computer!

EmuManager software will be installed on dealer office, and will be used as a management software for all printers installed in customers! With it the dealer can distribute the credits (liters of ink) to their customers! If a customer buy from it one litter of ink he will transfer for Customer account 1 credit (1 litter)! This credit can be given to customer free of charge, or can be sell.

This credit will automatically be posted on the customer's account and can be retrieved using the Emulink software previously installed by the Dealer on the customer's Rip computer!

Each PCB (installed on every machine used by the system) has a unique serial number ensuring a high level of security for the system!

The customer will never be able to buy extra credits from other dealers, other customers or from Chipemulator.com - the customer can only purchase credits from the original dealer. As a dealer, you can check on the existing number of credits for a particular customer at any time via the software.

A customer can have multiple machines installed. The system can manage the credits assigned to the various machines individually or as a group!

If the customer stops buying ink credits from you, the dealer, you can remotely disable their Emulator PCB.

If customer wants to start using ink from a competitor, the customer can only do so with your authorization otherwise the system will stop functioning when the credits run out.

How do I know if my PC has USB 2.0?

You can identify whether your PC has Hi-Speed or not relatively easy. Open Device Manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus section. There should be an "Enhanced" USB host controller present.

Windows 98 systems may use a different name, because Hi-Speed USB drivers in these operating systems are not provided directly from Microsoft (Windows ME, 2000 and XP get their drivers through Windows Update).

These drivers are provided by the manufacturer, and may carry the maker?s name (i.e. ADS, Belkin, IOGear, Siig, etc.). There should also be two ?standard? version USB host controllers present as well. They are embedded in the USB chip

There are currently 6 manufacturers of the Hi-Speed USB host silicon themselves:
ALi (Acer Labs)

Intel

NEC

SiS

VIA

nVidia (shows as "Standard" controller

Any other brand name that appears in Device Manager would likely be an add-in Hi-Speed USB PCI card. The makers above do not make add-in cards, but they do make the chips that are used in them. which routes the differing USB speeds accordingly without user intervention.

Booting Linux Installation Program

To begin setting up your new Red Hat system, either boot from the installation CD, or insert the installation diskette in the system's A: drive, and reboot or power-on the system. After a few moments, the Red Hat installation program screen should appear.

In most cases, you can just press to begin the installation process, but if you are a more experienced user who knows exactly how your hardware devices should be set up, you can enter ``expert'' for the additional information and prompts this feature provides. (If you do nothing, the default installation procedure will start in about 10 to 15 seconds after the installation screen first appears.)

You will then be asked to choose your language (usually "English") and your keyboard type (even in Canada I choose "US 101-key"), as well as where you are installing from (such as from your CD-ROM or over the network). Red Hat is very flexible in where it can be installed from.

Most likely you will choose ``Local CDROM'' to install from your Red Hat CD-ROM (which should be inserted into your CD-ROM device). However, if your system is not equipped with a CD-ROM device, there are a number of other installation methods you can choose.

If you have another Linux system (or any other operating system that supports NFS file mounting), you can use ``NFS'' to install from an NFS mount. To do this, you'll need to have your CD-ROM mounted in the other system (or otherwise have the Red Hat distribution tree somewhere on the other system -- it is possible to download everything via FTP and then install from your other system's hard drive), make sure you have an entry in your /etc/exports file allowing access by the new system to the appropriate directory (see Section 7.6 for details on how to set up and use NFS), and then enter the appropriate details. Here's an example walk-through:

*

Insert the Red Hat CD into the other system (eg. a system called ``spock'').
*

To mount the CD, type:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660

*

Edit, as the superuser, your ``/etc/exports'' file and put an entry like:

/mnt/cdrom newsys.mydomain.name(ro)

(This says that the new system at newsys.mydomain.name is allowed read-only access to the directory ``/mnt/cdrom/'' and any subdirectories under it).

If your new system does not yet have a domain name assigned to it, you can instead use its IP address:

/mnt/cdrom 10.23.14.8(ro)

(Assuming your new system has 10.23.14.8 as its IP address).
*

Again, as superuser, type:

killall -HUP rpc.nfsd ; killall -HUP rpc.mountd

This will restart your NFS and mountd daemons, which is necessary before your new NFS export will work.
*

Now, from your new system, you can choose ``NFS'' as your installation source. You'll be asked to provide information on your network card, as well as your IP settings. You'll likely use static IP settings if your system is sitting on a local LAN, or DHCP settings if, for example, your system is connected to a cable modem. Enter the settings as appropriate for your new system.
*

You'll then be asked to enter the NFS server name and Red Hat directory. For our example system, we would type in ``spock'' as the NFS server name, and ``/mnt/cdrom/'' as the Red Hat directory.

There are other ways of installing Red Hat, such as using a Samba (Windows-style networking) connection, from an existing partition (such as your DOS or Windows 95 partition) on your hard drive, or via FTP. Check the Red Hat users guide for more details on installing using these methods, or just try to struggle through them (the procedures are really not very difficult!)

Once you have chosen your installation source, Red Hat will ask you if you wish to "Install" or "Upgrade" your system. As you are installing a new system, you should choose "Install". (As an aside, I'm a fairly anal person who never upgrades new distribution releases over existing systems -- I guess having suffered through so many problems with Microsoft products I have developed a significant mistrust for upgrading systems as a whole. I prefer to install from scratch, and simply restore from backup my personal/user and local site files.)

The installation program will then ask you if you have a SCSI adapter. If you answer yes, you'll be asked to choose the appropriate driver. In some circumstances, Red Hat will be able to detect your adapter automatically.

Next, you'll be asked to set up your file systems (ie. partition one or more drives for Linux). There are two tools available for setting up these partitions, including the Red Hat-supplied "Disk Druid", and the standard Linux "/fdisk" utility.

Both tools are similar in function, allowing you to specify the partition types and sizes. However, Disk Druid seems to be a bit more "user friendly", and a bit more complete than fdisk. In fact, if you use fdisk to partition your drives, you'll then be presented with the Disk Druid screen for specifying your mount points anyway. That being said, as an ex-Slackware user, I personally always use fdisk -- force of habit, I guess! :-)
