JAVA Install and Operations

 

Color World Printers InSite server supports the MAC with various configurations of Java. The troubleshooting icon on our InSite URL will help you work through the configuration. In general, MAC OS 9.x uses the Apple Java (MRJ 2.2.5) and Mac 10.x uses Java from Sun and Apple (Java 1.4.1). These instructions walk you through it simply and easily.
