2.2 Compatibility
The Pingo Photo printer functions as any desktop printer and will therefore print from any application. The option
to use templates, masks and layers with some applications will provide easy print setup with graphic images and
allow placing of graphic images within the confines of the CD-R's printable surface.
Print location templates are supplied for popular applications. The templates are files saved with wire frames or
masks identifying the printer print area. The templates provided on the CD that is shipped with the printer may
vary depending upon popularity and consumer demand.
2.3 System Requirements
Any computer with a parallel port or USB port can be used to control the Trace Affex CD-Artist. Depending on
the user's requirements, application programs used with the printer may vary from high end graphics to simple
page layout and word processing programs. Generally, when the print command is issued, the file to be printed
will be spooled to the hard drive allowing the printing to execute as a background operation, with other computer
operations returned to the user. Better performance will be attained if at least 100 MB of hard disc space and
128 MB of RAM are available on the computer. Applications using extensive graphics operations will require
substantially more memory based on the size of the images being printed. High end graphics professionals will
often require 200-400 MB of RAM in a PC.
HP printer drivers are included for Windows operating systems. Mac drivers can be obtained by calling Alea
Systems Technical Support at (301) 776-3754. No other special software is required.
2.4 Cable Requirements
The Pingo Photo CD Printer is connected to the PC by one cable:
One standard parallel cable: DB25M/Centronics 36M shielded
or
One Universal Serial Bus cable (USB) (not supported by Pingo REP)
Note: The power is auto switching to accommodate both 110 VAC and 220 VAC power
requirements.
