Computer Requirements
The following is our minimum recommended computer configuration. Using a faster computer
with more capacity will increase efficiency and throughput. Although using a computer that

• 32 MB of RAM
• 2 Gigabyte hard drive or bigger
• 17 inch color VGA monitor
• 3.5” floppy disk drive
• CD-ROM Drive
• Mouse or other pointing device
• Microsoft Windows 95

Remember, the laser system is an output device just like a printer is. The faster you can create
graphics and manipulate your software, the faster you can download to the laser system to
keep it producing.
