Step 1. Install CentreWare

Programs to open DYC file
Remember to download programs supporting DYC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CentreWare with DYC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DYC file still does not use the CentreWare program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DYC file with the CentreWare application.
Step 3. Update CentreWare to the latest version
If, however, after binding CentreWare with Xerox Printer Driver Configuration Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DYC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DYC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DYC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DYC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DYC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DYC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DYC files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DYC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DYC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DYC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
