Introduction 1–1

1 Introduction

1–2 Introduction

This guide provides complete instructions for operating your new NEC Silentwriter® SuperScript 660i printer. All printer features are explained and illustrated in detail.

The Silentwriter SuperScript 660i is a new laser printer which sets the standard by incorporating true 600 dpi resolution and complete HP LaserJet 4P functionality in an affordable, simple to use printer. Combining the best of both worlds, this printer has been optimized for fast printing in both PCL5e and Windows mode.

For PCL printing, the SuperScript 660i has a fast intelligent controller using an Intel i960 controller and complete HP LaserJet 4P emulation. Therefore, this printer can be used with any computer which has an HP LaserJet 4P driver and a standard PC parallel printer port.

The printer default settings can easily be changed by using the DOS based Print Navigator software included with your printer.

For Windows printing, this printer is provided with the SuperScript 660i software which offers GDI printing and on-line printer status information. GDI printing offers the full performance of the total Windows printing system and takes advantage of the available power of the CPU in your computer.

Your computer and the Silentwriter SuperScript 660i communicate bi-directionally to exchange operating status information (i.e., warm-up, paper out, paper jam, etc.) and display messages requiring your attention, if necessary. Hence, you can focus on your work without periodically referring to the printer operator panel, a benefit of the SuperScript software.

Introduction 1–3

HOWTHE PRINTING PROCESS WORKS

STANDARD FEATURES

The SuperScript 660i is designed as a personal laser printer to conserve desk space and it features low power consumption.

Whenever you send a job to the printer, an “image” of that page is temporarily written to the rotating surface of an electrophotographic (EP) drum. This image acts like a magnet that attracts toner to the drum. (The toner and the drum are grouped in one self-contained cartridge.)

At the same time, paper (or transparency film or an envelope) passes through the printer and near the drum. The paper is electrostatically charged as it reaches the drum.

Toner, previously attracted to the drum as image areas, is transferred to the charged paper. The paper then passes between two rollers where a combination of heat and pressure bonds the toner to the paper. The paper is then moved to the output tray.

The following list highlights Silentwriter SuperScript 660i features.

Two Printing Modes

The Silentwriter SuperScript 660i software allows you to select from two different modes of printing:

•PCL5e emulation mode provides compatibility with the popular printer language used in the LaserJet® 4P.

•GDI mode provides WYSIWYP (What You See Is What You Print) output in Windows.

Print speed: up to 6 pages per minute.

1–4 Introduction

Print resolution: 600×600 dots per inch. 300×300 dots per inch.

Sharp Edge Technology

Silentwriter SuperScript 660i features the patented Sharp Edge Technology (SET). This feature detects and smoothes the jagged edges of raster images by dividing one full dot into several subdots set in the same area. The print quality of both text and line graphics is thus improved.

Paper output: face-up tray with a maximum capacity of 50 sheets (at 17 lb), or face-down door.

Toner cartridge: clean, efficient printer operation centered around one easily replaceable cartridge. The Starter Toner Cartridge shipped with your printer will print 2,000 pages (at 5% coverage). Replacement toner cartridges will print up to 4,000 pages (at 5% coverage).

Power Saving Mode

This printer has Power Saving Mode. In this mode, if the printer is idle for a specified time (default 15 minutes), the fuser unit pauses and power consumption will be decreased. However, the next job requires a warm up time. The printer is in Power Saving Mode when it is turned on. You can also turn Power Saver Mode OFF in the Print Status Window (See Chapter 5, Print Status Window).

1–6 Introduction

Toner Saving Mode

This feature allows you to save toner by controlling print density. You can enable this mode in Print Status Window (See Chapter 5, Print Status Window).

Print Darkness

This feature allows you to control the darkness of any page as required. You can set this mode to light, medium, or dark in Print Status Window (See Chapter 5, Print Status Window).

Density Adjustment (GDI Only)

This feature allows you to adjust the contrast and brightness of the output when printing. This feature is useful for making adjustments to produce the best quality when printing.

Manual Duplex Printing (GDI Only)

When selected, you can print on both sides of a page in either of two binding styles (Book style - binding in the middle, or Report style - binding at the top and bottom).

Cover Page (GDI Only)

When selected, a customized page of either text, graphics, or a combination will automatically print at the beginning of a print job.

Trailer Page (GDI Only)

When selected, a customized page of either text, graphics, or a combination will automatically print at the end of a print job.

Introduction 1–7

OPTIONS

ORDERING SUPPLIES AND ACCESSORIES

Print Overlay (B/W) (GDI Only)

When selected, a customized overlay of either text, graphics, or combination will print on either the first page or all pages of a print job. Now you can print your logo and text together without having to import your logo into every print job. This can also be used to add your own custom watermark to your documents.

Print Overlay (Color) (GDI Only)

When selected you can print a customized overlay of either text, graphics, or combination in one of three colors. For example, you could print your company logo in red and your correspondence in black. This feature requires a color toner cartridge (purchased separately).

The options available for the Silentwriter SuperScript 660i include the following.

INSTALLING SUPERSCRIPT 660I DOS SOFTWARE

If you print from DOS a great deal of the time, you should load this software. The DOS software is called Print Navigator and controls two programs: Navigate and Reporter.

To install this software:

•Insert the SuperScript 660i Print Navigator disk into Drive A:\ (or whatever drive is designated onyour PC).

•Type a:\SETUP and press ENTER. The following header screen is displayed:

Pressing any key or clicking the mouse button will continue the installation.

At this point the software will check to see if the host system has sufficient memory including RAM and hard disk space. If insufficient space exists, a message will appear.

This screen defines what drive and directory the Print Navigator software will be installed on. The default is C:\PRTNAV. The directory will be created automatically if not found.

Setting Up 2–29

If the drive or directory is invalid or there is not enough hard disk space for the installation, an error message will be displayed.

The setup program is fairly automatic. Follow the instructions on the screen. You need to decide the input destination path to set the printer's settings; the default printer port (LPT1,2 or 3), the hot key designation to run Reporter, display mode (either graphic or text), and whether you want the report to be added to the autoexec.bat file. This means that the Reporter will be loaded automatically whenever you turn on your computer or run autoexec.bat. Reporter monitors the printer status in real-time and automatically displays error and warning messages directly on your PC screen whenever the printer status changes. Examples of printer status messages are: printer warming up, paper empty, paper jam, etc.

To activate the printer status software type: C:\PRTNAV\REPORTER.

You are now ready to print from your favorite DOS application. Simply open your application, select an HP LaserJet 4P driver and print.

2–30 Setting Up

To print a Test Page from Print Navigator:

1.Select Utility from the Print Navigator Screen.

2.Click on Print SelfTest Page. After the printer warms up, the test page will print.
