Chapter 4: Using the Quatro ID
Card Printer
I. CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO YOUR COMPUTER
The Quatro ID 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 of a 486 DX class
computer with 4MB RAM or higher is required. For best
performance, a Pentiumª class computer with 16 MB RAM or
higher is recommended.
The printer is equipped with an ECP-compatible, high-speed
Centronics parallel 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.
2. Connect the other side to the back of your PC at the
PARALLEL connector.
The printer must have its on-line light illuminated to receive
data. If the light is not ON, press the on-line button.
