Connecting the Laser to Your Computer
Your Epilog laser system is designed to be used with either 32-bit or 64-bit
versions of Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, Vista, or Windows 7 operating
systems. Most of the world is not fully ready for a 64-bit operating system, so
you may be better off using a 32-bit version of Windows depending on what else
is expected from your computer. Windows produces 32-bit versions of all of the
above operating systems.
There are two different methods of connecting the laser to your computer. You
can connect to your computer with either an Ethernet cable or a USB cable.
Choose either the USB or Ethernet cable –do not plug both cables into the laser
at the same time! Many users, especially those that do not have a lot of
experience installing printers or other devices to their computers, find the USB
cable is the easier method of connection.
If your laser is going to be a long distance from your computer, you will be better
off using the Ethernet cable.
If you are using the USB port, make sure the laser system is turned off before
connecting the USB cable from your computer (it doesn’t matter if the computer
is on or off). For your convenience, Epilog includes both an Ethernet crossover
cable and a USB cable in the Accessories kit.
