SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

System requirements
Please read through the following recommendations carefully. They can be very helpful in finding the optimum
hardware for your needs
•
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 1 or higher
• Processor:
Pentium III, 800 Mhz or higher
•
Front Side Bus:
133 Mhz
•
PCI Bus:
The PCI bus system must meet up-to-date standards (PCI 2.0 or higher – 3.3 V or 5 V autoadaptive,
maximum load 5 A). If your computer does not fulfill this standard, it is possible that the plotter controller will not
be identified.
• System memory:
Use a system memory with at least 256 MB RAM. With this system memory, you can plot or scan the maximum
drawing size. However, a system memory of 512 MB RAM is recommended if you wish to simultaneously plot
and scan drawings with maximum drawing size. Simultaneous scanning and plotting of smaller formats also
enables the use of smaller system memory. Please ask your dealer or the support technician for further information.
•
Hard drive:
The hard drive should have at least 10 GB memory. We recommend installing of the program not to do in the drive
where you already install your operating system.
• Network controller:
10/100 Base T Ethernet, the TCP/IP configuration is necessary
•
RW-470 Controller:
Physical dimension: 190 mm x 128 mm
PCB dimension: 174,63 mm x 106,8 mm
•
Monitor:
At least 1024 x 768 pixels resolution
Controller Board Type 470
The RW-470 software only works, if the controller board is installed. To do it install the Controller Board Type 470 and
the appropriate software.
Installation Controller Board Type 470
Note: The Controller Board Type 470 is – like all other high integrated circuits – sensitive to electrostatic
charge. Therefore, remove the controller carefully from the shipping container and do only touch it at the
side or at the bracket. Do never touch any of the circuits on the controller with your finger. If you need to do
so, touch a metal object before you touch the controller.
1. Switch off your PC before you install the controller.
2. Select a free PCI slot. Note that on certain computers the PCI slot #5 is not fully compatible to PCI specification
2.0. In that case use slot #1 to #4.
3. Insert the controller into the PCI slot and fasten the fixing screw. Make sure the controller is sitting well, no
components touch surrounding cards or the case and that the fixing screw is set properly.
4. Re-mount the PC case. Connect the cable(s) to the plotter.
RW-470 Kernel Driver installation
Proceed as follows to install the driver:
1. Start your PC. After installing the Controller Board Type 470, the operating system automatically reports that new
hardware has been found and that assistant has been started for installation of the driver RW-470 Kernel. Click
on the "Next" button to start the installation program.
2. In the next window the assistant asks where it can obtain the Driver files required. Select the topmost option
"Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended)" and the click on "Next", to continue with the
installation.
