Dispatch 3.2 is a Windows® application that must be installed and run on a computer running one of Microsoft's Windows operating systems.

 

In a nutshell, Dispatch will run on any PC that is suitable for the version of Windows you will be using.

 

You can also run Dispatch in a Windows Virtual Machine on a Apple Mac.

Operating system

Dispatch has been tested with the following 64-bit versions of Windows:

 

Windows 7
Windows 8 and 8.1
Windows 10
Windows 11

Hardware

If you'd like to use an older PC, here are some basic specifications:

 

An Intel or AMD (x86 or x86-64) based personal computer with a CPU, RAM and graphics card suitable for the version of Windows you intend to use.
200 MB of available hard-disk space for Dispatch
A Windows compatible printer
One serial port
A display capable of a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or higher is very, very highly recommended. The minimum usable resolution is 1366x768.

 

We highly recommend that your PC has at least 8GB of RAM. When you are running any version of Windows and your PC has less than 8GB, it is going to struggle.

 

%PRODUCTNAMEONLY%> will run significantly faster with an SSD than it will using a traditional spinning hard disk drive.

 

Anything less than a display with 1920 x 1080 display resolution will impede your ability to make the best use of the not insignificant investment you have made in Dispatch 3.2.

Printing

Dispatch can use any Windows printer (including PDF and XPS writers) for printing tickets and reports. However, if you are printing multi-part forms, we recommend and support the Okidata Microline 320 Turbo (ML320) dot-matrix printer for ticket printing.

Signature capture

If you are using a laser or ink jet printer for ticket printing, Dispatch supports Wacom STU-540 signature pad for capturing driver signatures electronically. Dispatch can print as many copies as you require and the captured signature is reproduced on each one.
