Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Mac OS X Installation
Administrator rights are required to install Veripress and the Serendipity Agent. If upgrading from an existing
installation to version 5.3, see the “Upgrading to Version 5.3” section within this manual.
Installing the Dongle Driver
The first step is to install the dongle driver.
To install:
1. Remove all SuperPro USB dongles.
2. On the DVD, navigate to the dongle/macosx folder.
3. Double click the Sentinel System Driver.pkg file to launch the installer.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
5. Restart the computer when finished.
Installing the Serendipity Printer Drivers
The Serendipity Printer Drivers are used when setting up a Published Pagesetup for printing (or proofing) from a third
party application (e.g. Photoshop) directly to Veripress.
The installation package is located on the Veripress 5.3 Installation DVD:
1. Navigate to the /drivers/mac folder and run the file Serendipity Printer Drivers.pkg
2. An installer window will appear. Follow the prompts to complete the installation of the drivers. The installer
will require administrator access privileges.
Installing Veripress
1. Go to the macosx folder on the Veripress installation DVD.
2. Double click the file Veripress.pkg to launch the installer.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
Important note: Before starting the software after installation, see the Running the Software section (Mac OS X only).
Installation of the Serendipity Agent
If you are polling a RIP (or RIP folder) on a Mac OS X machine, the most efficient method is to use the Serendipity
Remote Agent. This runs a service on the Mac OS X machine where the RIP is located. Veripress communicates with the
Agent to poll and transfer jobs.
To install:
1. Select and run Serendipity Agent.pkg file located in the agent/macosx folder on the installation DVD.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation has finished, proceed to the “Running the Software” section of this manual.
Creating Dock Start Icons
To make it easy when starting the Server and Client, it is recommended you create a Dock shortcut. To do this:
1. Run the Veripress Server and Client applications from the installation location.
2. Once the Server and Client icons appear in the dock, right click (or CTRL+click) the mouse and select Keep in
Dock from the menu.
3. Alternatively, drag the Server and Client icons directly onto the Dock before they have been launched.
4. To remove the Dock icons, drag them off the dock with the mouse onto the desktop and release.
