Software Installation and Requirements
Your computer is a critical component in the operation of the VLS system. In fact, you cannot operate the VLS system if
your computer is not connected, powered on, running Windows and running the Universal Control Panel (UCP) software.
You can only run one VLS system per computer at a time. You will need to have a separate computer for each VLS system
you own. The VLS system is not designed to be a network printer. You must operate the VLS system using the computer
that is directly attached to it via the provided 6-foot USB cable (1.82 meters). USB cables longer than 6 feet (1.82 meters)
may cause the VLS system to malfunction.
