Additional ACS Products Requirements
These specifications were last updated November 2008 and are subject to change.
Other Hardware Items
Printers
HeadMaster recommends using a tray-fed printer. We do not recommend specific printers, nor do we guarantee that all printers will work with HeadMaster. (However, HeadMaster reports have been tested on HP® LaserJet printers.)
Video and Sound Cards
HeadMaster requires at least 32 MB of video memory.
HeadMaster recommends a 17-inch monitor for all modules, which are designed at 96 dpi. Wide-screen monitors may cause HeadMaster modules to look different than they do on a 17-inch monitor, unless dpi settings are modified.
Internet Considerations & Browsers
As ACS Technologies moves more of our products and services to the Web, we recommend a high speed internet connection. While an Internet connection is not required for using the basic features of the HeadMaster desktop products, some features are not available without an Internet connection. These features include, but are not limited to, the following:
- HeadMaster Online
- Downloading product upgrades
- Some documentation
ACS Technologies requires installation of Internet Explorer® 7.0 or later to view Help topics. However, Internet Explorer is not required to be the default browser.
Network Requirements
HeadMaster can be installed and operated on a dedicated server or on a peer-to-peer network. We do not recommend Internet-based servers, nor do we support them.
Wireless Networks
HeadMaster 10.0 and higher can function properly in a wireless environment. However, due to the wide variance of connection speeds, the performance and reliability of the HeadMaster software can be negatively affected.
Microsoft End-of-Life
HeadMaster adheres to Microsoft's life-cycle policy
for operating systems. As a system approaches its end-of-life date, HeadMaster recommends upgrading your operating system. Once an operating system is no longer supported by Microsoft, we can no longer support that system. This does not mean that products will not work on a retired operating system, but it does mean that, should a problem occur that would require an update for a retired operating system, we cannot provide support assistance for clients using those operating systems.
