If you need more information about installation, contact your support representative.
Computer hardware and software
● Intel Core i3 2.4 GHz with 4 virtual cores/threads, or equivalent or better processor
● 4 GB of RAM, or more
● 3.5 GB of free space on hard disk, or more, plus 100 MB for each additional printer added
● Screen resolution of 1280 × 1024 pixels, or more, tuned or calibrated to sRGB for optimal Crystal Preview
performance
● Ethernet network, IPv4 or IPv6, 100 Mb/s or faster
● Microsoft Windows 7 or later (64-bit)
NOTE: Based on the minimum computer hardware and software requirements, it is not recommended to add
more than 10 printers.
Ensure that your computer is connected to the same subnet as your printers. Otherwise, ensure that computer
and printers are able to communicate through the 8080, 8085, 8086, 9100, 9102 TCP, and 161 UDP ports.
If the License Manager and the HP SmartStream software are installed on dierent networks, ensure that UDP
port 5093 is open.
How can I improve the performance of HP SmartStream?
If you feel the need of improvement, the performance of the application can be improved by exceeding the minimum
specications above: more than 4GB of RAM (which requires a 64-bit operating system), a faster processor with more cores, a
faster network, and a faster hard disk drive (ideally a solid-state drive).
