3.3 PLANMECA PLANCAD EASY INSTALLATION
When installing and using Planmeca PlanCAD Easy, Windows Display setting (Control Panel – All Control Panel Items –
Display) should be set to ‘Smaller 100%’ (Default)
The computer’s NVIDIA GPU driver’s version should be 320.00 or newer, excluding version 350.12 which is not a compatible
version. If not, the drivers can be downloaded from www.geforce.com/drivers.
It is recommended to disable Virus Scanning prior to installation. The Anti-Virus software might recognize the Planmeca
PlanCAD Easy file ‘DesignCenter.exe’ mistakenly for a virus and prevent its installation. Remember to enable Virus
Scanning after Planmeca PlanCAD Easy installation.
NOTE! Color mode requires a color scanning tip and an 8 digit activation code for the scanner. Refer to the color activation
quick guide (10039740) for more information
For a 32bit Windows Java SE 1.6 update 45 is strongly recommended and is included as custom Java distribution in the
installation package and is used by default in a new Planmeca Romexis installation on 32bit Windows. This custom Java
distribution is located under Planmeca\Romexis\tools\JRE_x86.
For a 64bit Windows Java SE 1.8 update 45 is strongly recommended and is included as custom Java distribution in the
installation package and is used by default in a new Planmeca Romexis installation on 64bit Windows. This custom Java
distribution is located under Planmeca\Romexis\tools\JRE_x64
Custom Java distribution reduces dependency on changes in the main operating system Java installation.

3.7 RECOMMENDED IMAGE PROCESSING
In Planmeca Romexis 4.4.2.R, default panoramic and cephalometric image processing settings that are applied on new
installation are designed for Planmeca Dimax4 and intraoral settings for Planmeca ProSensor. Some recommended settings may
be different for Planmeca Dimax3, SmartPan, Planmeca ProCeph or Planmeca Dixi. If you are making a new installation on a
Planmeca Dimax3, SmartPan, Planmeca ProCeph or Planmeca Dixi system, please check the following tables for recommended
settings that need to be manually adjusted in Planmeca Romexis Configuration Planmeca, Didapi Configuration applications and
Planmeca Romexis Client.
Please note that the default panoramic and cephalometric image processing settings that are applied on new installation are not
automatically applied when updating from earlier versions of Planmeca Romexis.

3.7.3 RECOMMENDED IMAGE AUTO ENHANCEMENTS IN PLANMECA ROMEXIS
There are 2 alternative ways to specify non-permanent Auto Enhancements for all new 2D images:
1. Normal Preprocessing defined in Planmeca Romexis Configuration application under:
Imaging > [image type] > Auto Enhancements > Use Normal Preprocessing
Allows setting default values for: Gamma, Sharpen, Despecle
2. Custom Preprocessing defined in Planmeca Romexis client 2D imaging module by applying desired enhancements to
an image type using the Image Processing Toolbar, then selecting:
File > Capture > Save Image Enhancements as Default Enhancements
The currently applied settings can be checked in Planmeca Romexis Configuration application under:
Imaging > [image type] > Auto Enhancements > Use Custom Preprocessing
Please note that when Custom Preprocessing is applied in Planmeca Romexis client the Normal Preprocessing is automatically
disabled.
For 8-Bits images, we recommend that both Extent and Strength values are lowered for the Clarify filter.

3.8 PLANMECA ROMEXIS UPDATES
Updating previous versions
In the Component Selection dialog make sure to select all previously installed components (deselecting an
installed component will result in uninstalling that component).
When upgrading from earlier version of Planmeca Romexis, Planmeca Romexis 4.4.2.R requires a database update. In such case
Planmeca Romexis database option needs to be checked. If you are using Solid database or need to run the database update
manually the script can be found in \Planmeca\Romexis\sql\1.0 folder for Solid and \Planmeca\Romexis\sql.srv\1.0 for Microsoft
SQL Server. Double click the rxupd.bat to execute the update.
Limitations
Planmeca Romexis 32-Bit installation on a 64-Bit operating system cannot be updated directly to a 64-Bit
version. First an uninstallation is required followed by a fresh 64-Bit installation of Planmeca Romexis.
Please note that the default panoramic and cephalometric image processing settings that are applied on new
installation are not automatically applied when updating from earlier versions of Planmeca Romexis. Please
refer to section 3.6 RECOMMENDED IMAGE PROCESSING for more information.

MS SQL Server 2012 installation may issue the following error if the installation is attempted
from another media than the original DVD:
Error message:
Rule "Long path names to files on SQL Server installation media" failed. SQL Server installation
media on a network share or in a custom folder can cause installation failure if the total length
of the path exceeds 260 characters. To correct this issue, utilize Net Use functionality or
shorten the path name to the SQL Server setup.exe file.
Windows 8.1 and 10 Apteryx / Julie integrations are not supported.
For Planmeca DIDAPI UI to work on Windows 8.1 you need to make UAC change on the
Windows folder.
It may be necessary to retry 3D Sensor SW upgrade a few times when upgrading 3D Sensor
SW from 3.0.0.R to a newer version.
