ROM

stored in ROM can be read but not changed. This part of
the printer memory is used to store the printer's
firmware and its resident fonts. Firmware includes
software that controls the printer's operations and
settings.

Optional Hard Disk Drive

The NEC Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Kit allows you to
install a compatible hard disk drive to your Silentwriter
1760/65 printer. A one-gigabyte, 2.5" hard disk drive is
included in the kit. The optional hard disk drive allows
you to store extra PostScript fonts so that you can access
them as easily as printer resident fonts.
The first time the hard disk is installed on the printer, it
must be formatted using the printer operator panel.
Chapter 2, "Install Printer Options," in the Easy Printer
Setup Guide provides instructions for installing and
formatting the optional hard disk drive.

Downloading Fonts to the Hard Disk Drive

When you purchase fonts, font vendors most often
provide a font downloading utility along with the fonts.
Follow the instructions specific to that utility for
downloading fonts to your printer hard disk drive.
note:
MacOS users should use the Apple Printer
Utility provided with the LaserWriter 8 printer driver to
download fonts to the printer hard disk drive.
