Additional details about each setting found in the inserverOutput.ini file are available in Appendix A. To configure the Output Agent service using the inserverOutput.ini file, complete the following steps.

1. In the $(IMAGENOWDIR6)\etc folder, locate the inserverOutput.ini file and open it in a text editor.
2. Under [Remote], to set up Output Agent as a remotable service, configure the remote settings so that you provide the IP address or name and the port number for the Perceptive Content Server.
3. Under [Monitor], configure the following settings:
   1. For monitor.path, keep the default $(IMAGENOWDIR6)\output_agent\monitor or specify a different directory where Output Agent checks for new output keyfiles.
   2. For monitor.extension, keep the default txt, or specify a new file extension that Output Agent uses to check for output keyfiles.
4. Under [General], perform the following substeps:
   1. Set output.mode to EXPORT, PRINTER, or DICOM.
   2. For keyfile.move.path, keep the default $(IMAGENOWDIR6)\output_agent\moved or specify a different directory where Output Agent stores executed keyfiles.
5. If you set output.mode to EXPORT, in the [Export] group, configure the following settings:

      Windows XP allows a file path up to 255 characters in length.
   4. Change export.filename.format to include the text and variables you want to use to create the name of the exported file.
      You can set export.filename.format to [FIELD1]_[FIELD2]_[FIELD3]_[FIELD4]. Additional examples are provided in the Appendix B section of this document.
      Note: File names must not contain spaces or the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > |. If any of these characters appears in a file name, Output Agent replaces the characters with dashes.

      2. Review the list of printers and copy the settings for the printer you want to use for output.
   2. In the inserverOutput.ini file, in the [Printer] group, configure the printer.input.tray, printer.name, printer.driver, printer.downscale.color.mode, and printer.diffuse.black.level.threshold properties for the printer you selected for output.
7. If you set output.mode to DICOM, in the [Dicom] group, configure the following settings:
