Using your Card Printer
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:
Step Procedure
1 Connect the Centronics-type parallel side to the printer.
Snap the fastening clips into place. (Note: The extra port shown in the previous
illustration is an Auxiliary Port (subminiature-D connector) included and used only
on units equipped with an optional smart card contact station.)
If your unit is equipped with a contact station and you have questions regarding its
use, please contact your authorized reseller.
