Software Installation and Requirements
Your computer is a critical component in the operation of the VersaLASER system. In fact, you cannot
operate the VersaLASER system if your computer is not connected, powered on, running Windows
and running the Universal Control Panel (UCP) software.
You can only run one VersaLASER system per computer at a time. You will need to purchase a separate
computer for each VersaLASER system you own. The VersaLASER system is not designed to be a
network printer. You must operate the VersaLASER system using the computer that is directly attached
to it via the provided 6-foot USB cable (2 meters). USB cables longer than 6 feet (2 meters) may cause the
VersaLASER system to malfunction.
