A. CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO YOUR COMPUTER
Your Pro Series 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

performance, a Pentiumª class computer with 32 MB RAM or higher is
recommended.

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.
