Computer and Printer Compatibility

Computer Requirements

The Versa Star USB driver and software update program have been tested with Microsoft
Windows XP, Windows Vista
®
update our programs, so please contact our technical support team for the latest Windows
compatibility updates.
The computer must be up-to-date with the latest Windows updates installed and have .NET
framework version 4.0 with the latest updates.
It is strongly recommended that all computer screen savers and power management settings be
disabled when the meter is interfaced with the computer. The computer must not go into
sleep/standby mode while the software update is performed. Many laptop computers go into
sleep/standby mode when the lid is closed, so the lid should remain open throughout the
software update. Laptop computers must also be plugged into a power supply when running the
software update – performing the software update while the computer is on battery power is not
recommended.

Printer Requirements

Versa Star Pro meters can print directly to the Orion Star A series compact ink ribbon printer
(Catalog Number STARA-106) or certain models of USB dedicated printers with PCL 5 or PCL
6 printer language capability.
Orion Versa Star Pro meters offer expanded USB printer compatibility with new PCL 6 driver
hardware for better compatibility with recent, commercially available USB printers. Although we
strive to ensure the compatibility of our meters with USB printers, we cannot ensure
compatibility with all models.
