Page 12 In addition, by expanding the memory of your computer or upgrading to a more powerful PC, the performance of your SuperScript 610plus can also be improved. NEC SuperScript software supports two printing modes, namely, GDI mode and PCL emulation mode.
Page 13: How The Printing Process Works
Host-based Processing SuperScript uses your PC power to process print jobs. Two Printing Modes The Silentwriter SuperScript 610plus software allows you to select from two different modes of printing: • GDI mode provides fast, WYSIWYP (What You See Is What You Print) output.
Page 14 Print speed: up to 6 pages per minute. Print resolution: 300 300 dots per inch. Sharp Edge Technology Silentwriter SuperScript 610plus features the patented Sharp Edge Technology (SET). This feature detects and smoothes the jagged edges of raster images by dividing one full dot into several subdots to be set in the same area.

Try GDI with your documents to see if it meets your requirements. 4. Change the print priority. The NEC SuperScript Print Manager lets you select Low, Medium, or High Priority printing. If you want faster printing, set the priority to High.
Page 253 Optimizing Printer Performance B–3 5. Don’t use the NEC SuperScript Print Manager when printing in GDI mode. For fastest possible printing, you can shut off the NEC SuperScript Print Manager altogether for GDI mode. Go to the GDI Setup Options Screen,...
Page 254 B–4 Optimizing Printer Performance 8. Install the memory expansion module on your printer The SuperScript printer provides maximum 6PPM printing. However a less powerful CPU or insufficient printer memory may restrain the throughput. If your computer has a powerful CPU, installing the memory expansion module may improve the throughput.

Page 268 F–2 Installing the Memory Expansion Module The SuperScript 610plus’s memory can be expanded by adding a Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM). Adding the memory expansion module will solve Memory Overflow which causes incomplete page printing. Also, it may improve throughput of print- ing in some cases.
Page 269 Installing the Memory Expansion Module F–3 Follow these steps to install the memory expansion module. 1. Turn off the power of the printer. NOTE: To protect your printer from possible damage, make sure it is powered down prior to installation of the module. 2.
Page 270 F–4 Installing the Memory Expansion Module 3. Using a coin, turn the screw located on the left panel of the printer in the direction of the arrow, and remove the memory cover. You can see the memory socket on the controller board. CAUTION: Do not touch any parts on the controller board with your fingers.
Page 271 Installing the Memory Expansion Module F–5 5. Hold the module at an angle and firmly push it into the socket. Memory socket Metal edge faces Notch 6. Then press the module down until you hear a “click” as the module snaps into place. Check that the module is securely held into place by the metal holders on each side.
Page 272 F–6 Installing the Memory Expansion Module 7. Put the memory cover back in place. (First insert the memory cover downward into the printer, then move it to original position. Next, using a coin, tighten the screw by turning in the direction of the arrow.) CAUTION: Check that the memory cover is firmly secured.

Page 290 Employer Responsibilities Because ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencies have estab- lished limits to the amount of ozone to which employees may be exposed. The workplace specifications are: A person may not be exposed to an average concentration of greater than 0.1 part per million (PPM) of ozone for a period of eight hours.
Page 291 LASER SAFETY This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Depart- ment of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radia- tion.
Page 292 Ozone is only generated while the printer is printing. UL Standards for Ozone The only existing standard for ozone emissions has been established by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All Silentwriter SuperScript 610plus family printers meet this standard when shipped from the factory to our customers.
