space, can have a dramatic effect on card processing speed. For faster card
printing, use a 450 MHz or faster processor with 128 MB of RAM.

Have a diskette drive to install the printer driver

Have 50 MB or more of hard disk space available to store the printer driver and

The PC must also have a card creation application that formats and prepares the card
data. For the PC requirements of your card creation application, see the application's
documentation.
