Chapter 1: Setting Up the Printer

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC

SuperScript 870 printer. The SuperScript 870 is

designed to offer the best possible combination

of print quality and performance in a personal

laser printer.

The SuperScript 870 can print 8 pages per

minute at 600 dpi resolution. The SuperScript

870 includes special printing features such as

proof sheets (N-up printing), booklet printing,

manual duplexing, and watermarks. The printer

is designed to print on a wide variety of paper

sizes and stock, including legal size, executive,

A4, envelope, transparencies, labels, and index

card. The standard 2 MB of memory can be

increased to maximize print performance. The

Multi-purpose tray and optional 500-Sheet

cassette combine to hold up to 650 sheets of

letter size paper.

The SuperScript 870 has been designed to

support all major personal computer operating

systems, including: DOS, Windows®3.1x,

Windows®95, Windows®98, and Windows NT®

4.0. Macintosh System 7.x and 8.x are supported

with the optional 10/100 Base-T network

interface card (NIC). The optional NIC also

allows users or workgroups on a TCP/IP, Novell

Netware, or Apple EtherTalk network to share

the printer. PCL 4.5 emulation has been provided

for DOS and Windows NT 4.0 users. For users of

Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, or Macintosh

System 7.x and 8.x, Adobe PrintGear has been

provided.

Your computer and the SuperScript 870 printer

communicate bidirectionally to exchange

operating status information such as “printing”,

“paper out”, or “paper jam.” Messages are

reported to you on-screen with the status monitor

utility so that you do not have to check the LED

display on the Operator panel.
