Changing Printer Settings
Silentwriter printer settings give you even more ways to
customize your printer. There is often more than one
place to change the same printer setting. These include
•
The Print dialog box in your software application
•
The Silentwriter printer software
•
The operator panel on your printer
Using the Print Dialog Box of Your Software
Application.
Settings made in your software application usually
override settings that are made elsewhere. In fact, we
recommend that settings for individual print jobs be
changed within the software application, if possible.
Using Silentwriter Printer Software
Your Silentwriter printer software includes the PCL
printer driver NEC Silentwriter 1700 (for Windows 3.1x
and Windows 95), the PostScript printer driver NEC
Silentwriter 1700 PS2 (for Windows 3.1x and Windows
95), and the Print Navigator for MS-DOS.
You use this software to change settings that are not
available within your software application, settings that
effect the operation of the printer, or global settings that
apply to most print jobs you will send to the printer. You
can often use the printer drivers in place of the printer
operator panel to control printer settings.
Chapter 2 provides instructions for controlling printer
settings using your printer driver software.
note:
The 1765 printer also comes with a Mac
PostScript printer description (PPD) file for
®
Macintosh
users. This is described in the 1765
Network Printer Configuration Guide.
Using the Printer Operator Panel
You can use the printer operator panel to change
settings that are not available elsewhere. This includes
emulation and interface settings, Resource Saving, Jam
Recovery, and PCL job setup options. In addition, the
printer operator panel allows you to print out font lists
and test pages.
Chapter 3 provides instructions for controlling printer
settings using the printer operator panel.
