System Requirements

SYSTEM RE-
QUIREMENTS
Table 2.1 shows the hardware and software
requirements for SuperScript software.
Hardware requirements differ between the three
SuperScript software configurations (Personal,
Server, and Client). As shown in Table 2.1, the
Server must be at least an i486DX-based PC running
at no less than 33MHz. If the Server PC is to be used
in a large workgroup or with heavy print loads and
will be used at the same time for other applications
such as word processors, it is recommended that the
Server PC be at least an i486DX2. A PC running as a
Client only, that is with no printer connected, can be
based on an i80386DX running at 33MHz or faster.
A Personal configuration PC can also be based on an
i80386DX running at 33MHz or faster.
The requirement table shows the minimum and
recommended configurations. The minimum
configuration will provide good quality output under
normal conditions. Using the recommended
configuration will boost output, especially under
high volume workgroup network loads.
The minimum free disk space is 40MB. This
matches the Microsoft general recommendation that
users maintain 40MB of free disk space at all times
when running Windows for best performance. The
minimum Server PC random access memory (RAM)
is 8MB, and 16MB is recommended. The minimum
Client RAM is 8MB.
Note: Because of SuperScript's high speed interface,
it is important to use a properly manufactured
parallel cable. The use of a poor quality parallel
cable may affect your output. A long cable may also
cause print problem. It is recommended to use 6-
feet-length cable.
