Connecting the Computer
The Legend systems were designed to be used with Microsoft Windows XP or 2000
operating systems. One advantage of Microsoft operating systems is that they handle
network connections very efficiently with exceptionally easy setup. The best way to
connect your Legend is through the Ethernet network port. The network port
provides the fastest transfer speeds and the most reliable data transmission, especially
over long distances. The parallel port can also be used, but it is recommended that it
be used as a secondary connection. Both the Network connection and the parallel
connection can be hooked up at the same time.
The data port connections are on the right side of the machine, towards the rear. This
drawing shows the location of all the ports on the Legend EX systems. The drawing
on the next page shows the location of all ports on the Legend TT systems. Some
features may be optional or not
available on your machine.
