PowerScript Computer Connections
T his chapter contains instructions for connecting PowerScript to a computer platform
and for performing the various functions you can do with such a configuration.
When you create a connection between PowerScript and a computer, you have the
potential ability to transfer files, connect to the Internet (via modem or Ethernet), apply
security where a password is required to access PowerScript over an Ethernet connection,
and so forth.
Although PowerScript provides the internal connections required to establish communi-
cations with a computer, it does not include the tools required to create files and control
connections. For example, to create graphic files of your own design, you need tools
(such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, or Macromedia Freehand) to
create the files. In order to move those files from a computer to PowerScript, you need
communications software—such as TCP/IP software or an FTP client.
With PowerScript you can create two types of files ONLY —projects and pages.
To create any other type of file (such as a PLA-, EPS-, APS-, PCX-, JPG-, or GIF-type file),
you must do so on a computer platform. Creating the file is half the task—once created,
you must transfer the file or files to a PowerScript PC Card. This chapter explains how to
make that transfer using various types of connections between PowerScript and a com-
puter.
