NEC SILENTWRITER SUPERSCRIPT 660, User Manual

Page: 13 / 313

Introduction 1–3
Whenever you send a job to the printer, an “image”
of that page is temporarily written to the rotating
surface of an electrophotographic (EP) drum. This
image acts like a magnet that attracts toner to the
drum. (The toner and the drum are grouped in one
self-contained cartridge.)
At the same time, paper (or transparency film or an
envelope) passes through the printer and near the
drum. The paper is electrostatically charged as it
reaches the drum.
Toner, previously attracted to the drum as image
areas, is transferred to the charged paper. The paper
then passes between two rollers where a combina-
tion of heat and pressure bonds the toner to the
paper. The paper is then moved to the output tray.

ing Process
Works
The following list highlights Silentwriter
SuperScript 660 features.
Host-based Processing
SuperScript uses your PC power to process print
jobs.
Two Printing Modes
The Silentwriter SuperScript 660 software
allows you to select from two different modes of
printing:
• GDI mode provides fast, WYSIWYP (What
You See Is What You Print) output.
• Both Windows and DOS applications running
under Windows can use PCL emulation mode
for printing, which provides compatibility
with the popular printer language used in the
LaserJet
