| RAM - Minimum of 640K RAM for Standard Memory Version- 4 MB or more of RAM required for Extended Memory Version. (Note: 585K of free conventional memory required to operate system) Use of Memmaker, QEMM or other memory enhancement utility may be required to fulfill minimum available conventional memory requirement. |

| Printer (24 pin dot matrix, inkjet or laser printer - laser recommended) 9-pin dot matrix printer typically do not give satisfactory results. Note: Some new "Windows Only" inkjet printers may not be fully supported. Many Cannon Bubble Jet Printers are supported via the Epson LQ/IBM Pro Printer Dot Matrix Protocol. To use your Epson Inkjet you must set your Cannon Bubblejet to Epson emulation mode (see your owner's handbook). Epson Stylus Printers are now supported. Use of the HP Laser Jet II driver for most inkjet and laser printers should give satisfactory results. While compatibility is not guaranteed, it is likely your printer will operate with FSPC. Alternatively, you may choose to send your printed output to a disk file and then import the disk file data to a commercial word processor or desktop publishing system to manipulate and print the output. See your word processing documentation for full information. The DOS Editor or Windows Word Pad or similar facility may also be used in many cases. |
These hardware specifications should be used as a general guide only. The K of C does not guarantee that FSPC will operate with all hardware configurations even if they meet these minimum requirements. If your hardware configuration does not support FSPC, you may return all system materials and supplies for a full refund.
NOTE: MAC Users: The K of C does not currently offer nor does it plan to offer in the future, a MAC version of FSPC. Some financial secretaries have reported success in running FSPC on a MAC platform using DOS emulation hardware and software or through Power PCs that can run IBM compatible programs. See your Apple /Power Computer Dealer for additional information. When FSPC is run through a MAC, technical product support may be limited or not available.
