Software Installation And Requirements; Computer And Operating System Requirements - Universal Laser Systems VLS2.30 Setup Manual

Step 2: Computer Requirements and Software Installation
Your computer is a critical component in the operation of your laser system. In fact, you cannot operate
the laser system if your computer is not connected, powered on, running Windows and running the
Universal Control Panel (UCP) software.
You can only run one laser system per computer. You will need to purchase a separate computer for
each laser system you own. You must operate the laser system using the computer that is directly
attached to it via the provided 6 ft (2 meters) USB cable. USB cables longer than 6 feet (2 meters) may
cause the laser system to malfunction.

Computer and Operating System Requirements

Minimum Computer Requirements (User Supplied)
2.0 GHz processor (minimum)
32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7
2 GB of RAM (minimum)
40 GB hard drive (15 GB free space) (minimum)
VGA monitor (minimum 1024 x 768 resolution)
CD/DVD Drive
Mouse and keyboard
Available USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compliant port only
Computer speakers (optional)
Internet connection and e-mail address (optional)
Note: Some computer manufacturers' USB ports do not comply with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standards. This
may cause the laser system to exhibit erratic behavior. Confirm that your computer is USB 2.0 Hi-Speed
compliant by checking your computer manual. For more information on USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatibility,
please visit www.usb.org.
Other USB peripheral devices that demand a large amount of computer processing power may slow down
the operation and productivity of the laser system. If you experience problems with operation of the laser
system while using another USB device, we recommend you discontinue use of that device while the laser
system is in use. Do not connect or disconnect USB devices while the laser system is running a job.
