These are the minimum hardware requirements for acceptable
operation. RIP software by its very nature is processor and
bandwidth intensive. Slower, less powerful computers can
contribute to the inability of a printer to operate at its intended
speed. This is independent of the interface used to communicate
with the printer, and is often related to disk drive speed, data
bus speeds, and other factors associated with slower computer
systems.
