The Color Sign Printer is designed to be used with
nearly any high-end IBM-PC or compatible
running Windows 3.1x or Windows 95. For best
performance, a minimum of a Pentiumª class
computer with 32 megabytes of RAM or higher
and a hard disk with at least 200 megabytes of free
space is recommended. Note that processing speed
will increase if additional RAM is added.
The Color Sign Printer is equipped with a
Centronics parallel interface port. This port is the
means through which the printer receives data
from your computer. To connect the Color Sign
Printer to your computer, simply obtain a shielded,
bi-directional parallel cable and refer to the
following steps.
When connecting the Color Sign Printer to your
computer, it is very important to always use a high-
quality interface cable suitable for the Color Sign
PrinterÕs high-speed rate of data transmission. A
suitable interface cable is a shielded, bi-directional
parallel cable (preferably an I-EEE 1284 type cable) and
should be no longer than 6 feet in length. Also, for best
results, DO NOT connect the Color Sign Printer
through a switch box, as this can interfere with the flow
of print data.
