also starts running in the background and can be found in Activity Monitor.

Installation Parameters
Installation parameters can be defined in the installer package’s filename, after the version, separated by an underscore character (_).
For example: MyQ Roger Client Mac 1.4.1.63_Europe_MyQTenant_Kyocera ECOSYS M2030dn.PPD.pkg
Parameter | Description | Example | Supported version |
---|---|---|---|
TENANCYNAME (optional) | Provide the Tenant Name (identifier) this value will be used to get the TENANTID after the installation | _MyQTenant | 1.4.0+ |
REGION | Define to which Server the client should connect. If the parameter is not specified, the client will use the server setup during the build process. Accepted values: “Americas”, “Europe” | _Europe | 1.4.0+ |
PRINTERDRIVER | Provide a pre-installed driver name to be used by the MyQ Roger printer. Set it to _DefaultHP or _DefaultRicoh and a generic.ppd postscript driver from macOS will be used. If the parameter is not set, then the Kyocera Universal Printing driver will be installed if the installer is built with the bundled driver. | _Kyocera ECOSYS M2030dn.PPD | 1.4.0 RTM+ |
*If you want to define a value for this parameter without TENANCYNAME
, then the installer filename will look like this:
MyQ Roger Client 1.4.1.63_Europe__Kyocera ECOSYS M2030dn.PPD.pkg
Note the double underscore (_) after the region parameter.
Printer and Driver
During the installation, a MyQ Roger printer is created and is ready to be used for sending jobs via MRC to MyQ Roger server.
If the installer package is with the bundled drivers and there is no set value to the
PRINTERDRIVER
parameter, then the Kyocera Universal Printing driver is installed.If the installer package is without the bundled driver and there is no value set to the
PRINTERDRIVER
parameter, then a generic default driver from macOS is used, however this driver only supports black and white printing.
How to Find Installed Drivers
Open a terminal.
Run the
lpinfo -m
command.This command shows the installed drivers:
The installer only needs the filename including the file extension. For example:
Kyocera ECOSYS M2030dn.PPD
All the drivers will be searched on the location:/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources
For example, the installer will then look like this:
MyQ Roger Client 1.4.1.63_Europe_MyQTenant_Kyocera ECOSYS M2030dn.PPD.pkg
