technology also allows direct printing from the computer to the Legend. Epilog
supplies a network Crossover cable with each laser system that allows one computer
to print to a single Legend system.
20-30 GB Hard Drive
This is the permanent memory in your computer. Many users feel that you can never
have a large enough hard drive, but for most laser applications 20 or 30 GB’s is going
to be adequate for years of storage. Luckily, most computer manufacturers put at
least 20 GB drives in new computers these days. When in doubt, buy bigger than you
think you might need. It’s so in-expensive that it’s worth the peace of mind to have it
available.
Software
Corel 11 is the most recent version of Corel and is recommended. Other versions will
work, especially Corel 10, but Corel 9 and below will have some incompatibility
quirks when used with Windows 2000 or XP. Many other Windows software
applications can also be used, although all software is different and may not be
predictable, user friendly or functional; and, the technical support staff at Epilog may
be less familiar with them and less able to help with questions. Consult with your
Epilog distributor on software compatibility issues before committing. Epilog does
not guarantee compatibility with any software.
Many laser users find a Raster-to-Vector conversion software package indispensable.
Sometimes, users may have this capability if they are using a sign graphics software
like CadLink, or if they have an H-P scanner that supports PrecisionScanPro (which
unfortunately, HP recently discontinued). There are a number of 3rd party Raster-to-
Vector conversion packages available in the engraving industry usually priced at
about $300 to $400.
