Chapter 1: Setting Up the Printer
System Requirements
The SuperScript 1260 printer works with MS-DOS
3.3 or higher, Windows 3.1 (in Enhanced Mode) ,
Windows 95, or Windows for WorkGroups.
To run SuperScript 1260 Windows software, 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 1260 printer can also be run
directly from DOS. The printer will automatically
invoice PCL emulation mode to process DOS jobs.
A standard PC parallel printer port is required to
connect with the SuperScript 1260 printer through
a high quality parallel cable (see "FastFacts" in
Chapter 10).
Because of the SuperScript 1260'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.
