Important Announcement

Please note that this manual aims to help you set the dispensing software Redlike 2 correctly. There are some steps which must be taken prior to Redlike 2 installation such as any driver installation and licensing of third-party products. DESO development is not responsible for such applications and cannot provide support for them.

Documentation about other products but Redlike 2 shared here is purely informational and it is only a suggestion for our customers. Other drivers, their versions and instances not described in this document may result in a different behaviour.

Before you start with Redlike installation, please make sure to have done/checked the following:

  • if the machine is communicating with a serial port, the user must have the rights to communicate with it (Windows as well as Linux)
  • you have Drivers & Tools successfully installed
  • you have a valid IDD file (either IDD2 or IDD4 based on the machine type)
  • your IDD file is running in IDD Test.Net (see below)
  • if you are using IDD2 file, it needs to be licensed

• Machine
  • your machine has been calibrated and configured
  • your machine has the colorants assigned to the correct canisters, etc.
