Compatibility
The Epilog Zing has been designed as an “open architecture” product. The laser will
work with many popular Windows based graphics, engineering and specialty
software products. To benefit from all the functionality that was built into the laser, a
Windows 32 bit based PC and 32 bit operating system is required. The Dashboard
print driver that is shipped with the laser offers a host of unique features, and only
works with Windows based operating systems.

For Optimum Computer Performance
Investing in a new computer is a great way to make sure you’re getting the most out
of your new laser equipment. Why? Because today’s software (CorelDraw for
instance) requires a lot of computer processing speed and memory to function
properly. A good computer won’t make a big difference in how your laser runs, but
when compared to a slow computer it will save untold amounts of time and
frustration setting up the artwork that you “print” to the laser. Many users do not
purchase new computers for use with their new laser because their current computers
are perfectly adequate. There’s no magical cut-off that makes a computer too slow.
If you’re comfortable with the performance and speed of your current computer,
there’s probably no reason to purchase another one. The following recommendations
are just advice to consider if a new computer is necessary.
A new computer doesn’t have to be expensive to work great! Even many of today’s
lower cost computers work great for laser applications. As long as you don’t buy the
cheapest computer you can find you should be fine.
Read these recommendations and consider spending just a few dollars more for those
components that will save you time and frustration.
Operating System
Any Windows XP, 2000, or Vista operating system is recommended. All new Epilog
lasers are designed to work with all the different 32 bit versions of XP, 2000, and
Vista.
