Connecting Your Printer to a Computer
You may only connect the printer to a computer with a USB 2.0
cable. For best results, use the special gold tipped USB cable
supplied with the machine. Avoid using a cable that is over 6ft in
length and do not use a switch box or USB Hub. Failure to follow
the guidelines can cause communication problems between the
printer and your PC. Do not overload your USB ports. Reserve
one for the printer, one for the dongle (FastARTIST/FastRIP) and
one for your mouse (if necessary).
Your computer must use a Windows Operating System, such as Windows XP or Vista (Windows ME is
not supported). Your computer must have at least 1GB of RAM (2 GB if using Vista) or you wmay run
into problems sending jobs. For best results, use a computer with 3 GB of RAM. RAM is inexpensive and
if you can put more in your computer, it will prevent problems when printing large les.
