Supported Network Environments

The SuperScript 4200N comes with software for using the
printer within several network operating systems.
• Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
• NetWare versions 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x
• Macintosh EtherTalk
• Peer to peer printing for Windows 95/98
• World Wide Web
For a network connection, print clients and network
operating systems should be configured and operating
correctly,. SuperScript 4200N printer drivers must be
properly installed onto the print clients.

Cabling Requirements

You need to provide the following additional hardware to
setup and connect your printer.
• For local connection, an IEEE 1284 compliant parallel
cable.
• For network connection, use a Category 5 network cable
with RJ-45 connectors for 10/100Base-T Ethernet, shown
here.
note:
The network interface card (NIC) automatically
detects whether it's connected to 10Base-T or 100Base-T.
For better performance, NEC recommends a shielded
CAT5 cable when connecting to 100Base-T networks.
