Connect PLOSSYS Output Engine to easyPRIMA¶

With easyPRIMA, you can manage printers used in a PLOSSYS Output Engine system beside other systems. The REST interface is used for the communication. For more information how to install and configure easyPRIMA, refer to the easyPRIMA documentation.

Requirements¶

easyPRIMA version 1.3.0 or higher is installed on the management server.

Connect the Output Engine System to easyPRIMA¶

This is how you connect an Output Engine system to easyPRIMA:

In the easyPRIMA configuration file (server/edc/conf/edc.cfg), set Export-Mode to EXPORT_MODE=REST_OR_FILE for managing printers of PLOSSYS Output Engine and PLOSSYS 4 systems (as of version 4.5.2) in parallel:
```
EXPORT_MODE = "REST_OR_FILE"
```
Create a new Output Engine system in easyPRIMA via Manage Systems.
In the easyPRIMA - Create System dialog, select PLOSSYS Output Engine with System Type.
Specify the following mandatory settings:
```
Name=<system_name>
```
```
User=<user_REST_API>
```
```
Password=<password_REST_API>
```
```
Server=<IP_address_PLOSSYS_5_server>
```
```
Port=515
```
Hint - user name and password of the REST API

You receive the user and password required for the REST API from your Technical Project Manager at SEAL Systems.

Once the system has been created, the following information is visible:
