Epilog software and connection options:
Epilog provides two pieces of software for the Fusion:
a) The ECC (Epilog Control Center).
b) The Dashboard print driver.
Please refer to
Section 4: Installing the ECC and Section 5: Installing
the Epilog Dashboard Print Driver
sections of this manual for additional
information.
Epilog also provides two different methods of connection the Fusion to your
computer:
a) USB
b) Ethernet
The software and the connection methods are associated because the connection
method affects which software can be used. The following shows how software
and connection methods work:
Connection Method Software Compatibility
USB Dashboard Driver & ECC
Ethernet Dashboard Driver Only
As you can see, the USB provides the most versatility.
The most popular choice is to use the USB for both printing and accessing the
ECC. This choice is the simplest and the most versatile.
One advantage of having two connection options that is not immediately obvious
is that you can use both connections, or just one of them. If you choose, you can
print using the Ethernet connection while using the USB connection for the ECC.
Both the USB and the Ethernet cable can be plugged into the Fusion at the same
time. This method is a little more complicated, but is just as versatile as the USB
only connection.
