Changes to the Controller RW-470 are possible and the manu-
facturer does provide separate information of them. 
 

The technical specifications comply with      

 

Note: The Printer Controller RW-470 is – like all other 

high integrated circuits – sensitive to electrostatic 
charge. Therefore, remove the controller carefully from 
the shipping container and do only touch it at the side 
or at the bracket. Do never touch any of the circuits on 
the controller with your finger. If you need to do so, 
touch a metal object before you touch the controller. 

1.  Switch off your PC before you install the controller. 
2.  Select a free PCI slot according specification above. Note 

that on certain computers the PCI slot #5 is not fully com-
patible to PCI specification 2.0. In that case do not use slot 
#5 and #6. 

3.  Insert the controller into the PCI slot and fasten the fixing 

screw. Make sure the controller is sitting well, no compo-
nents touch surrounding cards or the case and that the fix-
ing screw is set properly. 

4.  Re-mount the PC case. Connect the cable(s) to the plotter. 

The kernel driver will only run, if an controller board was found 
and all self checks were passed successfully. To see, whether the 
kernel driver is running: Run ControlPanel->Devices and check 
whether the device „PRINTER CONTROLLER RW-470Drv“ is run-
ning.
