C. CONNECTING TO AN IBM-PC OR COMPATIBLE
The digital press is designed to be used with nearly any high-end IBM-PC or
compatible running Windows 95/98. For best performance, a minimum of a
Pentium 133 MHz computer with 32 megabytes of RAM or higher and a hard disk
with at least 200 megabytes of free space is recommended. Note that processing
speed will increase if additional RAM is added.
The digital press is equipped with a Centronics parallel interface port. This port is
the means through which it receives data from your computer. To connect the unit
to your computer, simply locate the shielded, bi-directional parallel cable included
with the unit, and refer to the following steps.
NOTE: It is very important to always use a high-quality interface cable suitable for the digital
pressÕ high-speed rate of data transmission. A suitable interface cable is a shielded, bi-
directional parallel cable (preferably an I-EEE 1284 type cable) which is no longer than 6
feet in length. For best results, DO NOT connect the digital press through a switch box, as
this can interfere with the flow of print data.
1. Connect the Centronics-type parallel side to the digital press. Snap the
fastening clips into place.
