Chapter 1: Setting Up the Printer System Requirements The SuperScript 870 printer works with MS-DOS 3.3 or higher, Windows 3.1x (in Enhanced Mode), Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4.0. To run the SuperScript 870 software with Windows 3.1x, you will need an IBM-compatible PC with at least a 386SX 16-MHz CPU. This includes all 486-based and most 386-based PCs. To verify if your PC can run in Enhanced Mode, type WIN/3 at the MS-DOS prompt. If your PC cannot run Windows in Enhanced Mode, the system will tell you. The SuperScript 870 printer can also be run directly from DOS. The printer will automatically invoke PCL emulation mode to process DOS jobs. A standard PC parallel printer port is required to connect with the SuperScript 870 printer through a high quality bidirectional IEEE 1284 parallel cable (recommended length 6 ft). Note: Because of the SuperScript 870's high speed interface, it is important to use a properly manufactured parallel cable. Use of a poor quality parallel cable may affect your output. Minimum Requirements To use the SuperScript 870 Windows software, you will need: • Microsoft Windows® 95/98: A 486 or better personal computer with at least 8MB (16 MB for Windows 98) of RAM. (Service Pak 1 or OSR 2 highly recommended for Windows 95.) • Windows NT® 4.0: A Pentium® or better personal computer with at least 16 MB of RAM. • Windows 3.1x: A 386 or better personal computer with at least 4 MB (8 MB recommended) of RAM. (Windows 3.1x must be run in enhanced mode.) • DOS: A 386 or better personal computer with at least 640K of RAM running DOS 3.3 or later. • A CD ROM drive. 15
