Note
If you are not using Photo
Printing Accelerator in
your driver (see page 1-33
for details), or if you are
using a software or
hardware RIP, you must
have a Power Macintosh
G4 with a 500 MHz or
higher processor and
512MB RAM to keep the
printer running at full
engine speed.
For optimum
performance, we
recommend the latest
Macintosh system
available with a
FireWire connection.
If you are running System
8.5.1 on an iMac, Apple
recommends that you
download iMac Update
1.1 from their web site.
