CHAPTER 2

NIC INSTALLATION

OVERVIEW

If you have an NEC SuperScript™ printer already equipped with a Network Interface Card (NIC) there is an N in the model number. For example, the SuperScript 4600N. If you have a printer without a NIC, such as the SuperScript 4400, you can upgrade it by installing a NIC. A NIC is a printed circuit board containing hardware for connecting a printer or computer to a network.

The SuperScript Network Interface Upgrade Kit contains a NIC that allows you to connect your SuperScript color laser printer to a network. This makes it the ideal printer for workgroups and small offices.

What You Will Need

You will need to provide the following hardware to install the NIC in your printer and connect it to your network:

A phillips-head screwdriver

a Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for 10/100Base-T Ethernet®

note: The NIC automatically detects whether you have a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. For better performance, NEC recommends you use shielded cable and connectors when connecting to 100 Mbps Ethernet.

Installation Steps

1.Assemble what you need

2. Prepare the printer

3. Attach the NIC

4. Test the NIC

5.Print a Network Settings page

6.Get to know the NIC’s features
