Installation Parameters

You can use installation parameters to define a pre-configured installation package in two ways.

  1. Parameters in the Package File Name
    Specify installation parameters in the package file name. Use this option for deployment with Intune for macOS, silent installation and installation with the Setup Wizard.

  2. Parameters in the Configuration File
    The MyQ Roger Server administrator can specify package installation parameters in a configuration file. This package is then available for download from the server. For more information, see Desktop Clients in the MyQ Roger Server Administration guide.

  • REGIONID=US,TENANCYNAME=[TENANT-NAME],PRINTERSPOOLER=3,PRINTERDRIVER="DefaultHP"

The parameter TENANCYNAME is technically optional, but it is highly recommended.

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.

Printer Driver

How to Find Installed Drivers

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Run the lpinfo -m command.

  3. This command shows the installed drivers:

Installed Drivers
  1. 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 2.3_eu_MyQTenant__Kyocera ECOSYS M2030dn.PPD.pkg
