Finding the SENTINEL Configuration Files (.ini and .xml) – SENTINEL Instructions

Summary

This Instruction Article explains how to find the SENTINEL configuration files, both ini and xml, for SENTINEL back up or troubleshooting.

Instructions

  1. Browse to SENTINEL folder in Windows (make sure to enable ‘view hidden folders: Control Panel -> Folder Options -> Show hidden files and folders -> check ‘Hidden files, folders, and drives’)
    • Windows 2008/2012/7: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Teklynx\Sentinel\

    4. TKXCS.xml (SENTINEL Printer Settings)
