Software Installation and Requirements

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

You can only run one ILS system per computer at a time.  You will need to have a separate computer for 
each ILS system you own.  The ILS system is not designed to be a network printer.  You must operate 
the ILS system using the computer that is directly attached to it via the provided 6-foot USB cable (2 
meters).  USB cables longer than 6 feet (2 meters) may cause the ILS system to malfunction.

computer requirements to run Windows Vista.  The ILS system is not designed to run on the Macintosh Operating System.

Note:  

Some computer manufacturers’ USB ports do not comply with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standards.  This 

may cause the ILS system to exhibit erratic behavior.  Confirm that your computer complies with USB 2.0 
Hi-Speed by checking your computer manual.  For more information on USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatibility, 
please visit www.usb.org.

Other USB peripheral devices that demand a large amount of computer processing power may slow 
down the operation and productivity of the ILS system.  If you experience problems with operation, we 
recommend you disconnect other USB peripheral devices while the laser system is off.  

Do not

 connect 

or disconnet devices while the laser system is running a job.
