Dispatch is a Windows® application that must be installed and run on a computer capable of running one of Microsoft's Windows operating systems.
To print tickets on multi-part paper, you require a dot-matrix printer - we recommend the Okidata Microline 320/321 Turbo printers. If you will be doing a lot of report printing, we recommend that you purchase a laser, ink jet or bubble jet printer to use as a dedicated report printer.
Please keep the following in mind: you may experience problems with this product if your hardware, software and printer do not meet the minimum requirements suggested in this document.
An Intel Pentium or AMD based personal computer
100 MB of available hard-disk space for Dispatch
A Windows compatible printer
One serial port (RS232 or USB with an RS232 adapter)
SVGA display capable of displaying at a resolution of at least 800x600 pixels
The amount of RAM required depends on the version of Windows that you are using. We recommend that you have at least twice as much RAM as the minimum amount of RAM recommended by Microsoft.
Dispatch id compatible with the following versions of Windows:
Windows 9x (95, 98, Me)
Windows NT (Version 4 with Service Pack 6 or later)
Windows 2000
Windows XP (Home or Professional).
Windows Vista
It is possible to run Dispatch on a system that is configured to the minimum requirements of the Windows operating system you will be using. However, we do not recommend that you follow Microsoft’s suggestions as to what constitutes minimum requirements as you will likely find that your system is incredibly slow and frustrating to operate.
Dispatch can use any installed Windows printer for printing tickets and reports. We recommend and support the Okidata Microline 320 Turbo (ML320) printer for ticket printing.
