file into the same directory as the driver DLL, the
RTC
®
4 DSP program file(s) and correction file(s).
Start the HPGL converter.

installed drivers of the old, discontinued version
must be de-installed. The de-installation
procedure is described in the “Readme.txt” file
of the RTC
®
4 software package.
• The installation procedure for installing the old,
discontinued version for WINDOWS XP SP1 /
2000 / NT 4 and WINDOWS ME / 98 / 95 is also
described in the “Readme.txt” file of the RTC
®

files and DSP program file(s)) must be installed.
Therefore, please follow the instructions in

Danger!
• Always turn on the RTC
