Computer System Requirements

This section specifies the minimum computer system requirements for KODAK 8000C
digital panoramic and cephalometric extraoral imaging system software.

IMPORTANT

It is MANDATORY to check that the computer system configuration is
compatible with the computer system requirements for the KODAK
8000C software. If necessary you MUST update your computer
system configuration. KODAK 8000C MUST be connected to the
computer via a point-to-point Ethernet link and not via a LAN. DO NOT
place the computer and the peripheral equipment connected to it in
the immediate vicinity of the patient in the unit. Leave at least 1.5 m
distance from the unit. The computer and the peripheral equipment
must conform to the IEC 60950 standard.
