NEC SILENTWRITER SUPERSCRIPT 660, User Manual

Page: 28 / 313

2–8 Setting Up
Silentwriter SuperScript 660 works with Windows
3.1, in Enhanced Mode, and requires MS-DOS 3.3 or
later.
To run SuperScript, you will need an IBM-
compatible PC with at least a 386SX 16-MHz CPU.
This includes all 486-based and most 386-based PCs.
Some older 386s cannot run in Windows Enhanced
Mode, which means that SuperScript will not work
properly on those systems. SuperScript will not run
on 286-based PCs and earlier systems. If you have
Windows installed on your PC, you can verify
whether it runs in Enhanced Mode by typing
WIN/3
at the MS-DOS prompt. If your PC cannot run
Windows in Enhanced Mode, the system will tell
you.
SuperScript requires at least 4 megabytes (6 mega-
bytes recommended) PC memory (RAM), which is
the amount of memory recommended by Microsoft
for use with Windows 3.1. Adding more memory to
your PC will increase the overall system and printer
performance.
The SuperScript software requires approximately 7.1
megabytes disk space on your system’s hard disk
drive. About 2.1 megabytes more disk space is
needed to install the SuperScript TrueType
TM
Fonts.
In addition, up to approximately 8.5 megabytes disk
space is required for virtual memory under Win-
dows. (If you have more than 4 megabytes RAM,
you won’t need the entire 8.5 megabytes virtual
memory. The total memory – PC RAM plus virtual
memory – should add up to at least 12.5 megabytes.
See Allocating Virtual Memory, in Chapter 10,
Troubleshooting).
A standard PC parallel printer port is required to
connect with the SuperScript 660 printer through a
high quality parallel cable. See Appendix D for more
details.
