Hi,
We are in the process of buying a XEROX 242 printer with a CREO RIP.
While the RIP comes with the pro kit option (spectro, VDP, ...) our dealer says that we will have to provide the PC + OS (Windows XP) that will host the CREO application.
We should have the RIP comes with a box but it is an option.
- Is this something normal ? is the CREO supposed to be installed on the printer HDD and having it installed on an external box an option ?
- I understand have CREO installed on an external box a better choice and have this box equiped with a keyboard, mouse and LCP screen a recommander option.
My questions, assuming we have to buy the box, is :
- What kind of configuration would you recommand ?
- I've found the specs of the PC offered by Xerox as their option : Core Duo 2 2.4Ghz, 1Gb RAL DDR2, HD : 1x80Gb + 2x80Gb
- Regarding the HD : what combination would you recommand ? I understand from what I have read on Xerox website that I will need : 1 Hd of 80Gb for the OS, 2 80Gb HD place in RAID for the images (is it a RAID 0 or a RAID 1)
Thanks for your answers.
