Epilog provides a custom print driver for use with Windows XP or 2000. The
driver is included in the accessories kit on a CD-ROM. The Legend print driver is
the software that allows your computer to talk to your Legend laser system. In
order for your computer to talk to your Legend system, you will need to make a
cable connection from the computer to the Legend. There are three basic ways
that you can connect your new Legend to your computer:
Ethernet Connection. There are several different ways of configuring your
computer to use the Ethernet connection:
¾ You can make a direct connection from your computer to your Legend using a

¾ You can connect the Legend to your computer and your Local Area Network without
using a hub.

due to the increased potential for data transmission errors.

your computer to your Legend. The crossover cable has the advantage of
providing faster transfer speeds, and much higher reliability than a parallel cable,
