When you install OMEGA 2.6 software (the software is provided on a CD), use a CD-ROM
drive for the installation and your computer must be running Windows 2000, XP, or Vista. You
must be logged on as an Administrator to install software. Your kit contains the OMEGA 2.6
installation CD, for information on the kit contents go to page 3.
Although screen prompts guide you through the installation, we recommend reviewing the
installation process in the next few pages prior to installation. You may also wish to review
information in:
♦
Chapter Three: Adding Output Devices
– if you have a Gerber Sabre router and
you need to update the firmware.
♦
Chapter Six: HPGL Plotter Installation
- if you are using a plotter which is not
listed in the install screen. (Many different plotters are referred to as HPGL plotters
because they use the HPGL standard command set to communicate. See the list on
page 80.)
♦
Chapter Seven: Networking Devices
- if you are using printers over a network.
