What are the minimum computer specifications required to print to my Eddie printer?
PC - Specifications/Requirements
Ensure the PC specs meet or exceed the following
specifications.
- Windows 8 / 10 / 11 Compatible (32bit/64bit)
- For PC Pentium Dual Core processor or later. (Typically a PC from 2007 or later)
- For Mac OS 10.11 or higher.
- 8 GB of RAM
- 10 GB of free hard drive space
- Desktop computer is preferable*
- iOS or Android devices are not compatible. (This includes iPhones, Android Phones or tablets such as iPad or Galaxy Tab)
- Chromebooks are not compatible.
Even newer computers that
meet these specifications could be problematic if they are full of bloatware or
viruses. It is difficult sometimes to realize your computer is running slower
than it should. Especially if you haven't ever experienced anything faster. The best way to tell on a PC is to look at Task Manager to see how much RAM and processor speed are
being used. Anything below 50% is good. Start closing programs, and browser tabs to free up more RAM and processor speed. If you closed all the programs you can see, you might have to start stopping processes. However, many of these processes are critical to your PC so if you are unsure of what to close, it might be time to call in an expert to clean up your PC.
Mac Specifications/Requirements
Any Macintosh MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, or Mac Pro with OS 10.13 - MacOS 14 will work with Eddie! (Specific OS versions are listed below.)
