Using Your Card Printer
A. CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO YOUR COMPUTER
Your card printer is designed to be used with nearly any IBM-PC or compatible
running Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT. A minimum of a 486 DX
class computer with 8MB RAM or higher is required. For best performance, a
Pentium class computer with 32 MB RAM or higher is recommended.
The printer is equipped with an ECP-compatible, high-speed Centronics parallel
port. This port is the means through which the printer receives data from your
computer. To connect the printer to your computer, obtain a shielded, bi-directional
parallel cable and refer to the following steps:
1. Connect the Centronics-type parallel side to the printer. Snap the fastening
clips into place.
