OFTWARE FOR THE
This section describes the hardware and software
requirements for Macintosh computers, and how to install
the printer software.

Software Requirements

For Macintosh computers to connect to the printer, they must
meet three software requirements:
• The operating system must be Mac OS 7.1 or higher.
• The standard Macintosh LaserWriter printer driver must
be installed.
• The NEC SuperScript 1800 PPD must be installed.

Hardware Requirements

Hardware requirements are categorized into requirements
for the Macintosh and requirements for the printer.
Macintosh Hardware Requirements
The hardware required by your Macintosh is based on how
you plan on connecting it to the printer. The connection can
be made by using Apple LocalTalk or by using a network.
• To directly connect to the printer using LocalTalk, your
Macintosh must have a LocalTalk port. A LocalTalk cable
is then used for connecting the port directly to the
printer. The cable is not supplied with the printer, but is
available at your local computer hardware store.
• If using a network to connect to the printer, your
Macintosh must has a Network Interface Card (NIC) and
the appropriate cable to connect the NIC to your
network.
