16.7million colors per page. The driver cannot be used on the Macintosh Plus, SE, or Classic because these models do not support Color QuickDraw.

Minimum System Requirements

8 Mb of memory. The speed of the driver is increased with more memory.

A hard disk drive with at least 5 Mb of space free.

System software 6.0.3 or higher. The FARGO driver is compatible with Kanji System Software, and can print Japanese and other two-byte character sets.

Recommended

16 Mb or more of memory.

System software 7.0 or higher.

A hard disk drive with at least 50Mb of space free.

Adobe Type Managerª and/or System 7 TrueTypeª fonts. These can be used with the FARGO driver to produce high-quality text.

If connecting directly to a Macintosh, use a standard serial cable with an 8 pin mini-DIN connection on each end. If connecting to an AppleTalk Network, use any LocalTalk connector that is compatible with your specific network. If you wish to connect PrimeraPro to an Ethernet Network, optional interface adapters are available from your dealer or directly from FARGO for Twisted Pair Apple Ethernet or for Thin Coax Apple Ethernet.
