What Kind of Set-up for Integrated Framer?

[Mary M]

I'm thinking of putting in the Integrated Framer program soon, but don't know what the best system setup would be. I use FrameReady, but currently, it's on the same computer as my Wizard. I'm assuming I'll need a newer, more powerful computer system, but I don't want to buy two-one for the design table and one for the office. Any suggestions? A notebook, perhaps? Thanks.

You will need the computer at the design table where the camera is above it. We used a laptop for awhile but I found it was hard entering the sizes.....maybe ok if you add an number extra keypad. Also a 2 monitor system is great.
OR get one of the Mikes ... Dell deals.

Welcome to the Grumble Mary. We have IF and love it. Look in the computer/tech forum and you will find a lot of discussion about If / cameras/ and appropriate computers and monitors.

Wizard recommends a pretty fast computer, but just about any new budget PC today will work just fine.. like Mike, I totally recommend adding more RAM to the system if possible - 256 minimum, 512 or a gig if possible.

If you're running Frameready on your Wizard PC, I think you'll benefit just by buying a new PC to put your POS on - is your Wizard CMC out front, or do you have to go in the back room to enter an order?
Regardless, you really only need to start out with just one more PC, and that can run both your POS and Integrated Framer just fine.
