2.4 COMPUTER RECOMMENDATIONS AND SETUP
The following computer configuration is the minimum requirement necessary to operate in the Windows
environment. Using a computer with more speed, memory, and storage capacity will enable the
graphic images to be produced faster. A faster computer will perform calculations quicker and will
shorten download time to the laser system. Remember, the following is the minimum requirement:
m 386 or higher PC compatible computer
m 4 MB of RAM
m 100 MB hard drive
m One floppy disk drive
m Color VGA monitor
m Mouse
m Microsoft Windows version 3.1
m Windows compatible graphics program
The same configuration can be used for CAD systems except Windows 3.1 and a Windows graphics
program would not be necessary.
2.5 LASER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Please make the following connections in the exact order described otherwise
static electricity can damage the computer and/or the laser system’s electronics.
1. Connect one end of the AC power cord into the receptacle on the right side of the laser system
next to the on/off switch. Then connect the other end of the power cord to a 110 volt 60 Hz AC
outlet through a good quality surge suppresser. Do the same for the computer system.
2. Make sure both the computer and laser engraving system are plugged in and turned OFF, then
connect the laser engraving system to the computer using either a serial or parallel connection..
We recommend the use of a Parallel port connection because it normally provides the best
performance. Refer to the following diagram.
