System Requirements

Your SuperScript 1800 printer and software can operate using
the following minimum system configurations.
Windows Operating System
• Microsoft Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98,
or Windows NT 4.0
• 486 or higher CPU

Hardware Requirements

You need to provide the following additional hardware to
setup and connect your printer.
• For a direct connection, an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel
cable.
• If you are connecting a SuperScript 1800N printer or if
you have installed the optional 1800 NIC, you will need a
Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for
10/100Base-TX Ethernet.
note:
The SuperScript 1800 with a network interface
card (NIC) automatically detects whether you have a
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. For better

Printer Driver Features

Duplex Printing
Duplex printing or "duplexing" allows you to print on both
sides of the paper. This can speed up the print time and help
conserve paper. You can use duplex printing two ways.
Choosing Long Edge lets you have the
binding orientation along the long edge of
the paper as in a magazine.
Choosing Short Edge lets you have the
binding orientation along the short edge of
the paper as in a calendar.
The duplexing feature can be accessed from
the printer driver's Properties pages or from
the Operator Panel.
Proof Sheets
This layout mode allows you to print out a
reduced version of your document or
booklet. It lets you scan multiple pages at a
glance and is accessible through the Layout
Mode area of the Finishing tab in your
Window's driver.
