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 4650N. 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. Once installed the NIC enables your
printer to process print jobs from any computer on the
network.

What You Will Need

the NIC in your printer and connect it to your network:

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

The NIC automatically detects whether you have a

performance, NEC recommends you use shielded cable
and connectors when connecting to 100 Mbps Ethernet.
