For optimal performance, at least 16 MB of RAM is highly recommended. Also, any memory requirements for optional software, e.g., OPI server, must be added to this total. See page 29 for suggestions on increasing your available memory (RAM). l At least 80 MB of disk space (6-7 MB required for installation). As the maximum number of files in the jobs folders increases, this disk space requirement increases. Furthermore, when "Faster Copies" is selected, rendered images will be spooled to disk, requiring even more disk space. l System 7.0 or later (System 7.1 or later recommended). Any Macintosh computer with the following minimum configuration can be a PowerRIP client: l System 6.5 or later (System 7.1 or later recommended). l AppleTalk or Ethertalk network connection with the PowerRIP server. l 8 MB of RAM to install PowerRIP Client software.
