Basic Setup For Windows; Windows Nt 4.0 - NEC 870 - SuperScript B/W Laser Printer Network User's Manual

Basic Windows Setup
There are several ways you can configure your Windows
workstation to access the 870 network printer, depending
on which version of Windows you are using and your
system configuration. To the right, under "Network
Configuration Options," are possible scenarios.
Installing SuperScript 870 Printer Drivers
As you configure your network operating system, you
will need to install a copy of the SuperScript 870 printer
driver onto each workstation that will be accessing the
network printer. It is not necessary to install the
SuperScript Status Monitor, because it will not operate
over networks (except for NetWare bindery systems). To
view printer status, you can use the NIC Home Page.
note:
SuperScript 870 printer drivers are provided on
the Solutions CD that comes with the 870 printer.
TCP/IP Requirements for Windows
Configuration
TCP/IP is required for Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0
and Windows for Workgroups, if you want to access and
use the NIC Home Page to view printer status and
manage network printers. TCP/IP is also required to
operate the printer in an IP protocol network (such as for
peer to peer printing). TCP/IP setup for Windows 95/98
and Windows NT 4.0 is explained on page 14. TCP/IP
setup for Windows for Workgroups is explained
on page 15.
