Overview

This chapter describes how to install NEC 1765 
Administration and Client software. It contains the 
following sections.
•

Using Silentwriter Software with the 
Silentwriter 1765

•

NEC 1765 Software

•

Installing NEC 1765 Software for NetWare

•

Installing NEC 1765 Software for TCP/IP

•

Installing NEC 1765 Software for AppleTalk

Using Silentwriter Software with the 
Silentwriter 1765

This chapter assumes you have already installed the 
Silentwriter Printing System and drivers as described in 
Chapter 2, “Using Silentwriter Software,” of the User’s 
Guide.

The Printer Setup software, which allows you to specify 
which printer options have been installed, 
communicates with the Silentwriter through the parallel 
cable. If you connect your Silentwriter to the network 
using Ethernet cable please make note of the following.

The Windows PCL 5e Driver

This printer driver cannot sense installed options across 
the Ethernet. All printer options will be enabled 
whether they are actually installed or not. To avoid 
unexpected output, make sure you choose output 
options that are actually installed.

The Windows PostScript Driver

The PostScript driver assumes that all options have 
been installed. In order to direct output to specified 
printer options you must configure the PostScript driver 
manually using the PostScript printer driver as 
described in Chapter 2 of the User’s Guide. Be sure to 
deselect any option that is not installed.
