What is the procedure for printing envelopes with the SuperScript 4400?
Up to 10 envelopes can be printed from the multipurpose feeder, or up to 75 envelopes can be printed from the
optional envelope feeder. Instructions for both methods are in Chapter 4.
What type of labels should I use with the SuperScript 4400?
Sheets of labels that meet the guidelines in Appendix B can be printed using the multipurpose feeder. Be sure to
test a sample lot before purchasing a large quantity.
Can a parallel, and EtherTalk cable be plugged into the SuperScript 4400 concurrently?
Yes. You can connect to the parallel and EtherTalk ports at the same time. Then the printer automatically monitors
both interfaces.
How long should it take for a file to print on the SuperScript 4400?
The amount of time a file takes to print is a function of the complexity of the page, that is, how many fonts are used
and/or how many complex graphics it contains. A simple file may print at 17 pages per minute while complex
desktop publishing may take longer.
How do you change emulations?
The printer has Automatic Emulation Switching (AES). This means that it automatically changes to the proper
mode for each job. Or you can specify PostScript 3 or PCL 5e mode using the operator panel menu tree.
Can I add additional fonts to the SuperScript 4400?
Yes. Both PostScript fonts and PCL fonts are supported for their respective emulations. For a complete discussion
of fonts, see Chapter 5.
What is the expected average life of a SuperScript 4400 toner module?
The toner module prints approximately 10,000 pages at 5% toner coverage on A4 paper size. The actual page count
depends on many factors.

life (see xxxx for information about recycling your toner module).
What is the proper method of shipping a SuperScript 4400 printer?
The printer should be carefully repacked in the original packing materials.
