Computer & Software Requirements

Computer System

Your comuter is a critical component in the operation of the VersaLASER system. In fact, you cannot operate the VersaLASER if your computer is not connected, powered on, running Windows and running the Universal Control Panel (UCP) software.

Minimum Computer Requiremnts (User Supplied}

  • 2.0 GHz processor
  • Windows XP, Windows Vista*, or Windows 7
  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 40 GB hard drive (15 GB free space)
  • CD-ROM driver/burner (DVD required for Corel X4)
  • Mouse and keyboard
  • Available USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compliant port only. Note: Some computer manufacturers' USB do not comply with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standards. Confirm that your computer complies with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed by checking your computer manual, or visit www.usb.org.
  • Computer speakers (optional)
  • 600 DPI scanner (optional)
  • Internet connection and e-mail address (recommended)

The VersaLASER system is not designed to run on the Macintosh Operating System without the use of a Windows operating system.

Also note: These are the minimum requirements for the Universal Interface. Be sure and verify that you meet the minimum requirements of other programs (i.e. CorelDRAW, Adobe, etc.)

Software

CorelDRAW - Go to Corel.com for computer specs. Version 12 & X3 require XP, Vista or Windows 7

AutoCAD (most 2D versions)

Virtually any graphics program such as Crystal Reports, Adobe® Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and other Windows based programs such as Microsoft Word.

About Software

The laser outputs to the Laser Interface+, a Windows printer driver from ULS. Your software should be able to output what you require of the laser. For example, it you are using Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, or other paint programs, you cannot vector cut due to the lack of these features in the software. If you are only working with photos and bitmap images, Adobe Photoshop and other paint programs work fine. AutoCAD works extremely well on all of the ULS product line. [More.....]

Why is CorelDRAW preferred?

The complete CorelDRAW Graphics Suite package is the preferred program as it offers most of the software features needed for the laser user. Features include easy text entry, vector objects and vector manipulation, bitmap editing, and raster-to-vector conversion. Also, the Engravers Network offers training in one of the nations most recognized class CorelDraw for the laser, Robert'sLaser Roundup. And there are many 3rd party supports options available for CorelDRAW and the laser operator.
