Notes:
1. Minimum system configurations may limit performance, data capacity and operation of
some features. Faster processor, more memory and faster hard drives will significantly
enhance performance.
2. Accurate on-screen color display requires monitor calibration and true-color video mode.
3. Datacolor PAINT 2.0 is supplied on a DVD disk. Recommend a DVD writer for data
backup and file transfer from stand-alone systems.
4. Datacolor spectrophotometers use either an RS-232 Serial or USB connectors. Datacolor
Select requires a universal serial bus (USB) connection. Printer port requirements (Parallel
or USB…) depend on the specific printer selected.
5. Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems are supported. 64 bit hardware running
Windows 32 bit operating system is supported. Datacolor PAINT 2.0 is a 32 bit application.
