What hardware is required?
Windows single user:
- a computer with a Pentium III or later processor
- Windows 2000/XP/2003 Small Business Server/Vista
- 100 Megabytes free hard disk space.
- 512Mb RAM recommended (256Mb minimum)
Macintosh:
- OSX 10.4.0 or later.
Printer
- A printer is not compulusory, but is recommended.
- For dispensary labels we support Zebra label printers- once you've used one you'll understand why. (Update September 2009: Intermec PF4 and PF8 printers support the EPL language we use, so should also work fine)
- For networked printing we support a Windows printer driver, but you should get a Zebra printserver II - much better, and keeps your default windows printer available for reports
Backup
- For off-site backups. A portable USB/Firewire hard drive is ideal.
- (We also provide a remote backup service).
Client/server installation:
- An ethernet network- 100baseT or Gigabit.
- Server
- Second hard disk in server for automated backups.
- Minimum server CPU: 1Ghz
- At least 512Mb RAM in the server machine is recommended. 1Gb preferred
- We recommend RAID 1 or 5 disk arrays and dual core processors for larger installations
- Client computers
- Almost any computer running Windows 2000 or later will work OK as a client as long as the network is good and the server is good.
