Setting up SP3000 for stand alone

[CatLABS]

I understand this must have been posted many times, and while i did read many threads about this i have some specific questions which were not answered on those (or i have not found them yet).

I am setting up an SP3000 which was connected to a printer, and which i want to set up as stand alone, i understand i must install a different software and create a server computer to receive the files.

What is the easiest way to obtain this software, buy/download?

Do i need another PC machine next/networked to the unit? If so, what install/OS does it need?

 

Any and all help is welcome!

 

Thanks!
