Laser Cooling Requirements
This type of laser system uses fans to keep the laser cartridge and electronics cooled during
operation. Maintain the room temperature at the recommended ambient temperature range
outlined previously in the Operating Environment section.
Computer Requirements
The following is the MINIMUM required computer configuration. Using a faster computer with
more capacity will increase efficiency and throughput. Although using a computer that does not
meet our minimum recommendation might be acceptable to you, a faster computer will definitely
pay for itself in a short amount of time.
•
Pentium 300 MHz or equivalent
•
32 MB of RAM
•
2 Gigabyte hard drive or bigger
•
17 inch color VGA monitor
•
3.5” floppy disk drive
•
CD-ROM Drive
•
Mouse or other pointing device
•
Microsoft Windows 95
•
600 DPI Optical Resolution Scanner
Remember that the laser system is an output device just like a printer is. The faster you can
create graphics and manipulate your software, the faster you can download to the laser system
to keep it producing.
Software Suggestions
The following is a list of recommended software programs. We do not endorse any particular
software program neither do we guarantee its full compatibility with the laser system. Please
refer to the Appendices section on known bugs/anomalies related to these particular software
programs, related versions, and ones that are not listed below.

Do not confine the back of the machine by surrounding it with furniture,
shelving, backing it into a corner, etc. The backside of the laser system
must be allowed to “Breathe” otherwise it can overheat the laser
cartridge, power supply, and/or the CPU module. Overheating may cause
serious and very costly damage to the laser system.
