Paper Source Selections
In your printer driver, you can specify which paper tray the
printer should use for your print job: Tray 1, Tray 2 (option),
or AutoSelect. When you specify AutoSelect, the printer
automatically selects the right tray based on the media type
in the trays. The printer can detect paper sizes based on how
the trays are adjusted. Therefore, it is important to adjust the
paper trays properly.

Using Printer Drivers
Your printer software includes the PostScript 3 printer
drivers for Windows 95/ 98, Windows NT 4.0/ 2000,
Windows 3.1x, and Mac OS. The 4650N(X) also includes the
PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 95/ 98, Windows NT 4.0/
2000, and Windows 3.1x. They offer a wide range of features
for setting up your print job and printer settings.
Color Photo: Produces smooth color images, for the best
reproduction of photographic images.
Color Business Graphics: Produces bright, solid colors,
suitable for presentation graphics, charts, and posters.
Color Transparency: Use this for the best results when
printing color presentations on overhead transparency film.
Most of these features and settings are described in this
chapter. A particular feature may be implemented slightly
differently, depending on which driver you are using.
Grayscale: Converts all colors in the document to black and
shades of gray for monochrome printing.

Image Color Matching (ICM) technology or a driver using
NEC’s color matching method. The driver using NEC’s color
matching method is the default and recommended driver.
Zip Drive Attachm ent
You can print certain files (.ps, .prn, .eps, .jpg) directly from a
SCSI attached Iomega Zip® drive—without the use of a PC.
You can search for files on the Zip drive by using the
Operator Panel or through the Advanced Features button on
the printer’s home page.
The ICM based driver calibrates the colors with those
actually seen on the print client’s monitor. The NEC based
driver calibrates the colors with those described by the NEC
Color Table located inside the printer.
Waterm arks
A watermark is text that appears on pages in your print job,
such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL. Use these settings to
apply watermarks to your print job, create new watermarks,
or modify existing watermarks. A preview area shows how
the watermark will appear. You can also specify whether the
watermark appears in the foreground or background, and on
which pages it appears. This feature is not available for
Windows NT.
Advanced Features
Advanced features allow you to have more control over your
print jobs. They can be accessed from the NEC features tab of
the PostScript driver or from the Advanced features button
on your printer’s home page. For more details about these
unique features see Chapter 6 of this user’s guide.
note: These advanced features are not available with
the SuperScript 4650 printer.
Paper Handling
Collation
Layout
Use the collation feature to print multiple, sorted copies of
your print job.
Use this feature to print multiple page images on the printed
page, including 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16. This gives you the ability
to print pamphlets, storyboards, or thumbnail layouts. You
can also print a border around the page image (except for 1
page only).
J ob Hold
Through job hold you can store a document on the printer’s
hard drive and release it through the Operator Panel later.
This feature is most useful when you want to ensure
confidentiality in a networked environment.
Unprintable Area
Use this setting to specify the area on the edge of the paper
that cannot be printed on. This setting overrides margins set
in the application.
J ob Preview and J ob Reprint
With these features, the printer’s hard disk stores your
document indefinitely. Job preview lets you preview the first
copy of a document before printing out more copies. Job
reprint holds your job for release at a later time.
Graphics
Resolution
Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch
(dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the finer the
resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 dpi (the default) or
1200 dpi.
Banner Page
Banner pages are used to identify and separate print jobs.
They contain information about your print job and are
especially useful in a network environment.
note: 1200 dpi is only available when 96MB or m ore of
RAM are installed in the printer.
Color Scanning
An optional color scanner can be attached to the printer’s
SCSI interface and provide convenient color copies. Scanned
images can be saved in JPEG format and accessed across the
company network or Internet.
Sharp Edge Technology
Specifies whether or not NEC’s Sharp Edge Technology (SET)
should be used. SET is only available with 600 dpi. It refines

the print quality of characters and line art by smoothing the
fine gradations along the edge of the printed image. It is best
to turn this feature OFF for color photo images.
Archive Form at: Use this to create a PostScript data
stream that gets stored in a file to be used later.
PostScript Header
Halftoning
You can control whether the driver sends a PostScript header
with each document. By default a header proceeds each sent
PostScript job. (You will not see this header, it is part of the
PostScript code.) If you are printing to your own local printer
and you will only be sending PostScript jobs you can choose
to send the header just once. The header is retained and will
be used with each job, thus slightly reducing print time.
If graphic images in your document do not print correctly,
use these settings to adjust screen frequency and angle. For
example, use this when screened images show a moiré
pattern.
Negative Im age
If you select this, black and white values are reversed and
colors print as their complements.
Error Handling
You can send an error handler with each print job. Then, if an
error occurs, the printer prints a page with a message
describing the nature of the error. You or a technician can use
this information to diagnose the problem.
Mirror Im age
If you select this, pages are “mirrored” on the horizontal axis.
Scaling
You can enlarge or reduce the page image. A value of 100%
(the default) means no enlargement or reduction. A value of
50% reduces the page image to half its normal size. A value of
200% doubles the size of the page image.
PostScript Tim eout Values
These settings define timeout periods allowed when the
driver communicates with the printer. Enter a value from 0 to
999 seconds (32,767 seconds for NT). When zero is entered,
the printer will wait indefinitely. If your printer is shared, do
not specify a value of zero.
PostScript Options
There are several settings you can use to customize the way
the driver processes print jobs
J ob Tim eout: This is the maximum number of seconds
the printer can take to print a single job. If the print job
takes more time to print than the timeout value, the
printer may stop printing and prepare to receive a new
document.
PostScript Output Form at
These settings control the way the driver creates the
PostScript language descriptions for page images.
Optim ize for Speed: Check this for faster printing. This
option may cause a problem for some print jobs if the
printer does not have enough memory.
Wait Tim eout: This is the maximum number of seconds
the printer will wait for data from the computer. While
receiving a print job, the printer driver may pause to
build a PostScript language description of each page. For
complicated pages, which take longer to build, you may
need to set a higher wait time.
Optim ize for Portability-ADSC: Check this to ensure
that the document can be printed on any PostScript
printer. Documents may take longer to print when this
option is selected. This option is useful if the printer has
limited memory, because it creates smaller documents.
Advanced Options

Halftone Color Adjustm ent
Device Options
In the Windows NT driver this is an advanced feature for
controlling how color appears in a document and is
converted to monochrome when printed.
You can use settings on the Device Options tab to match the
attached printer configuration so that the printer driver can
generate optimized PostScript code.
Intensity
Available printer m em ory
Adjust this setting to control the darkness of graphics in the
printed document.
Set this to match the amount of memory you have installed in
the printer.
Reserved printer m em ory
Available font cache
Specify how much memory to reserve for special printer
functions, such as macros, Operator Panel settings, etc. The
reserved memory is not used for printing.
The driver automatically adjusts the font cache size based on
installed memory. Increase this amount for better
performance of Type 32 bitmap fonts.
Printer m em ory tracking
Installable options
Before printing a document, the printer driver calculates how
much memory is required to print. If the document requires
more memory than is available in the printer, the document
is rejected. Use this setting to define how this calculation is
made. A conservative calculation ensures that printer
memory is never over-committed. A more aggressive
calculation allows the printer to attempt printing a complex
document, but memory may be over-exceeded and the print
job may not be completed.
Use this area to change the settings to match the printer’s
hardware setup when you add options to the printer,
including Tray 2, or more RAM memory.
P C L5 E FEA TU R ES
These are general descriptions of settings available in the
PCL5e printer drivers (models 4650N and 4650NX). The
interface of the printer driver depends on the operating
system you use. Not all settings are available for all drivers,
or they may appear on different tabs in the printer driver. All
printer drivers have Online Help available at the click of a
button, with more information about specific settings.
Chapter 4, “Printer Drivers,” shows the PCL5e printer
drivers and explains how to use them.
Printer Mem ory
This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the
SuperScript 4650 Series printer and does not need to be
adjusted.
Cartridges
Resolution
This feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to the
SuperScript 4650 Series printer and does not need to be
adjusted.
Print resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch
(dpi) in an image. The higher the number is, the finer the
resolution. Resolution can be set to 600 (the default), 300, 150,
and 75 dpi. Lower resolutions require less memory and
processing time.
Dithering
Select a dithering pattern for converting images from one
format to another, for example, for printing color documents
in black and white. Dithering, along with the intensity and
resolution settings, affect the overall appearance of graphics
in printed documents.

PCL5e Font Settings
W O R KIN G W ITH FO N TS IN
W IN D O W S
Dow nload TrueType fonts as outline fonts: TrueType
fonts used in your document are processed by the driver
and downloaded to the printer as outline fonts. This
provides the quickest printing time, but lowest quality
for text output.
Under most conditions your documents will print out well
without any adjustment to font settings in your printer
drivers. The Windows printer drivers have settings for
specifying how TrueType fonts in your document are
matched to PostScript fonts in the printer. You may want to
adjust these if your documents take a long time to print or the
quality of the font is not satisfactory. Font settings vary
slightly on the Windows 95/ 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows 3.1x printer drivers.
Dow nload TrueType fonts as bitm ap fonts: TrueType
fonts used in your document are processed by the driver
and downloaded to the printer as bitmapped fonts.
Formatting is very accurate at small point sizes. Printing
is faster, but not portable if printing to a file.
Print TrueType Text as graphics: TrueType fonts used in
your document are processed by the driver and
downloaded to the printer as graphics. This produces the
best text quality, but can slow printing. This is best for
documents with several graphics and little or no
repeating text.
PostScript 3 Font Settings
Send TrueType fonts to printer according to the font
Substitution Table: Instead of downloading all
TrueType fonts to the printer, this selection substitutes
PostScript fonts resident in the printer for the TrueType
fonts used in the document according to a table you
define.
Install Printer Fonts: Use this to download soft fonts to
the printer.
Using the Substitution Table: The substitution utility
allows you to view or edit which fonts in the printer
should be substituted for the TrueType fonts in your
document. Using resident printer fonts speeds printing.
Always use built-in printer fonts instead of TrueType
fonts: Select this and the printer substitutes its closest
matching resident fonts. This speeds printing, but the
document may not print out exactly as it appears on the
screen
Always use TrueType fonts: Downloads bitmap
TrueType fonts to the printer to print the document. This
ensures the printed document will look the same as it
does on the screen, but it may take longer to print.
The Update Soft Fonts feature updates the driver to
recognize new fonts. Use this if you have added new
fonts to your system after you installed the driver.

printer now has 256MB of RAM.
A D D IN G M EM O R Y (D IM M )
The SuperScript 4650 color laser printers have two Dual
Inline Memory Module (DIMM) slots. The 4650 model comes
with 32MB RAM, the 4650N comes with 96MB RAM, and the
4650NX comes with 128MB RAM. However, you can
upgrade your printer to a maximum of 256MB of RAM
through the installation of additional DIMMs.
The instructions on the next page explain how to install
memory in your printer yourself. You can also contact an
NEC-authorized dealer and have more memory installed for
a service fee. Call 800-632-4650.
When you turn on your printer it will automatically
recognize the added memory. The new memory should show
up on the Start up page shown below. Make sure the printer
driver knows about your added memory. See Chapter 4
about changing device settings in your driver.
Installing additional memory will help ensure that your
printer has enough memory to print the most complex
graphic print jobs without sacrificing resolution. But
configuring the printer with more than 128 Mbytes of RAM
will not noticeably increase printer performance.

Installation Steps
If you have an NEC SuperScript™ 4650N or 4650NX printer
it is already equipped with a Network Interface Card (NIC).
If you have the SuperScript 4650, you can upgrade it by
installing a NIC. A NIC, or network interface card, is a
printed circuit board containing hardware for connecting a
printer or computer to a network.
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
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. It also enables your printer to print over the
Internet using PrintAgent technology (see next page for more
information).

When to Use the PostScript 3 or
PCL5e Printer Driver
Use the PostScript 3 driver for color documents and
documents that contain many complex graphic images or
extensive page layout formatting. The PostScript driver has
more options and delivers better graphic processing.
C H A P TER 4
P R IN T E R D R IV E R S
O V ER V IEW
If you have the 4650N or 4650NX model printer you can use
the PCL5e driver for monochrome documents that contain
mostly text and limited formatting. The PCL5e driver
handles this type of document well and delivers faster
printing than the PostScript3 driver.
A printer driver is software that translates your computer
data into a format that the printer can read and print out. You
can access the printer driver software to change printer and
document settings and manage fonts. First, you need to
install the right printer driver for your system.
note: For color printing, you m ust use the PostScript 3
printer driver for your system .The PCL5e printer driver is
for m onochrom e printing only.

About Color Control Options
During the PostScript 3 for Windows 95/ 98 driver
installation, you have the option of installing a driver using
Microsoft Image Color Matching (ICM) technology or a
driver using NEC’s color matching method. The driver using
NEC’s color matching method is the default and
recommended driver.
The ICM based driver calibrates the colors with those
actually seen on the print client’s monitor. The NEC based
driver calibrates the colors with those described by the NEC
Color Table located inside the printer.
The choice can be made when the Select Components dialog
box appears during installation. Simply highlight the Printer
Drivers Win95 item, then click Change to open the Select
Subcomponents dialog box. The ICM based driver can be
selected there. However, when the ICM based driver is
installed, you can still choose between ICM based or NEC’s
color matching printing methods from the Color Control
options located in the Graphics tab of the driver.
5. For a more customized install choose Network Client/
Custom. With this type of installation you can pick and
choose specific driver components. For example, if
Printer Drivers Win 95 is highlighted and checked, you
may click the Change button if you want to install the
ICM based driver described above.

On printer networks, multiple users can send documents to
the same printer. These documents are sent to a spooler in the
printer where they wait in a queue (line). Special spooler
features found in the SuperScript 4650N(X) greatly improve
along with the built in 2.1 GB hard disk of the printer, speed
up print time especially for long, multiple-copy documents.
Print Queue Status
This feature is shown on the Print Queue Status page (C)
after being chosen from the Advanced Features web page. It
shows you the next spooling print job, current print status,
and a list of recently printed jobs. You cannot change print
job parameters on this web page.
Most spooling options can be set up through the SuperScript
4650 PostScript driver under the NEC Features tab (A). Make
sure the “Use Printer’s Spooler Options” box is checked.
Spooler options can also be set up or viewed through the
Printer’s Home page under Advanced Features (B).
J ob Priority
The Job Priority feature allows you to prioritize a document
and send it to the “front of the line.” Each sent document is
assigned a default priority number of five (5). Set up Job
Priority on the NEC Features tab of the printer driver. If you
want a job to print ahead of the others, choose a number
between 1 and 4 in the scrolling Priority box on the NEC
Features tab.

saves time because the document is stored on the printer’s
hard disk and does not have to be sent to the printer again
(assuming the preview document is OK).
The Collation feature allows multiple copy jobs to be printed
in “sorted order.” In other words, if Collate is selected and
you want to print two copies of the same document, the
pages will be printed in 1-2-3-1-2-3 order. This sorts each
document for you so it does not have to be sorted by hand.
You only have to go to the printer once and not to the copy
machine at all. By default this option is not selected. If Collate
is not selected the pages will be printed in 1-1-2-2-3-3 order.
How to Use the J ob Preview Feature

Understanding the Paper Path
P R EV EN TIN G P A P ER J A M S
The following illustration shows the printer’s paper path.
Understanding this path will help you locate paper jams. The
paper is picked up from Paper Tray 1 (or 2) and passed under
the Transfer Drum. It then passes through the Fuser Unit and
is delivered to the Output Tray on the top of the printer.
This section explains how to prevent and remove paper jams.
There are several things you can do to prevent paper jams.
•
•
Make sure the paper in not folded, wrinkled, or curled.
Do not overfill the paper trays. Paper Tray 1 and 2 have a
fill-limit mark on the inside left side.
Paper jams occur in the following three areas.
•
•
Use paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies that
match the printer specifications (see Appendix A).
1. The top Fuser Roller/ output area. Operator Panel will
report PAPER JAM EXIT/DRUM.
2. The back Transfer Unit area. Operator Panel will report
PAPER JAM/INNER or PAPER JAM/DRUM.
3. The Paper Tray feed area. Error message on the Operator
If you have problems with double feeding, remove the
media from the tray and fan the sheets. They may be
sticking together.
Panel will report MISFEED.
note: Frequent jam s in any area indicate that area
should be checked, repaired, or cleaned.

Misfeed J am s
R EM O V IN G P A P ER J A M S
Misfeed jams happen in Paper Tray 1 or 2. A misfeed jam
may be as simple as a sheet of media not being picked up, or
it may be that the paper was picked up but not fed properly.
Access to this area is through the tray slot.
•
To avoid damage to rollers, always remove jammed
paper gently.
•
Try to remove jammed paper without tearing it. Any
pieces of media left in the printer, whether large or small,
can obstruct the paper path and cause further jams.
1. Remove the paper tray.
2. Pull out the jammed media.
If, after clearing the paper jam, the jam message on the
Operator Panel persists, open and close the Top Cover. This
should clear the jam message.
If Jam Recovery is enabled (see page 70), once the jammed
paper is removed and the printer is online, the printer should
resume printing the job from the page where the jam
occurred.
3. Make sure the paper is lying flat in the tray and that the
stack does not exceed the media limit mark inside the
tray.
4. Slide the tray back into the printer.

4. Remove the jammed paper by pulling it from the bottom
of the fuser, through the printer’s Back Cover, not from
the top of the Fuser area. This prevents any unfused
toner from dirtying the Fuser Rollers (located under the
Fuser Cleaning Roller).
Inner J am s
Inner jams happen in the transfer Drum/ Transfer Unit area.
This type of jam means that the media did not make it to the
paper exit area.
1. Open the Back Cover.
WARNING! Be careful not to touch the Transfer Drum
while removing jammed paper.
2. If most of the page is showing, gently pull it toward you.
5. Close (set) the Pressure Release Tabs.
3. If the paper did not come out easily, open the Top Cover
and open the Pressure Release Tabs.

6. Close the Top and Back Covers of the printer.

Outer jams occur in the fuser area. Jams of this type usually
means that paper is stuck in the Fuser Roller/ Output Area.
Follow these steps to clear these kinds of jams.
Drum J am s
Drum jams occur when the paper gets wound around the
Transfer Drum.
1. Turn off the printer and let it cool. Open the Back Cover.
1. Turn off the printer and open the Top Cover.
2. If there is a large amount of paper showing, gently pull it
out.
2. Carefully remove the paper from the Transfer Drum.
note: Do not touch the Transfer Drum !
3. If the paper does not come out easily or if only a small
amount is showing, open the Top Cover and follow steps
3—5 in the previous section.
4. Close the Top and Back Covers.
3. Close the Back Cover.

This appendix has general guidelines for purchasing and
storing paper and other media for your NEC SuperScript
4650 Series printer. Your printer supports a wide variety of
print media, including
Paper Handling Considerations

Envelopes
Envelopes: The printer accepts Commercial 10 envelope
size. The leading edge of an envelope that feeds into the
printer must be straight. The fold must be firmly creased
and be no thicker than two paper thicknesses. As a rule,
the larger the envelope is, the more difficult it is to feed
properly. You should load envelopes with the flap edge
to the left. The address side must face up and the flap
side must face down.
Recom m ended Media
Use NEC Premium papers (listed below) to ensure the best
quality printed output. If you do not have the NEC Premium
papers, try to match them as closely as possible for the best
printing results.
Adhesive Labels: Only use adhesive labels that are
recommended for use in laser printers.
Heavy Print Stock: Excessive use of heavy stocks may
cause premature wear in addition to causing excessive
wear of print mechanisms.
Prem ium Color Laser Paper 24 lb. Bond: A bright
paper with a super smooth finish for brilliant color
reproduction. Use this for correspondence, proposals,
charts, graphs, and illustrations.
Preprinted Form s: During the print operation, heat
applied to preprinted forms can remove ink from the
form and leave residue (called offset) inside the printer.
In addition to offset residue problems, ink residues may
generate harmful gases and emissions. Note the
(NEC Order No. 70-510)

following considerations. Tell the commercial printer
who will be printing your forms that you will be using
them in a laser printer. Forms should be printed with
heat-resistant inks that do not vaporize or generate
harmful emissions at temperatures greater than 392˚F
(200˚C) for 0.1 second. Do not use paper printed with
low-temperature inks, flammable inks, or inks that are
affected by the resin components found in toner.

Care must be taken to avoid changing the moisture
content of paper being preprinted or using materials that
change the electrical or handling properties of the paper.

Forms should be sealed in moisture-proof wrapping after
pre-printing to prevent moisture changes during storage.
Paper and Print Media You Should NOT Use in This Printer
Paper jams or poor print quality may result from using print
media that is not recommended for use in this printer or from
print media that is damaged. Do not use media with the
following characteristics.
Choosing Paper and Media
Choosing quality paper is your best bet for avoiding many of
the output problems common to heat-intensive printing. It is
the most effective measure you can take to achieve
consistently good results from your printer. Using the NEC
Premium papers described above will ensure good results.
Generally, paper manufactured for photocopying has good
print quality and paper handling characteristics. Smoother
surface paper generates sharper output resolution and detail.
Try samples of any paper to determine if the printer
performance and print quality are acceptable to you.
Textured envelopes do not print well in laser printers.
Envelopes constructed with diagonal seams work better than
envelopes with a straight seam.

this chapter.
Paper that is labeled “NOT recommended for use in laser
printers”
•
Order a small quantity to test with your printer and your
quality guarantees to ensure that the output meets a
predetermined standard when used with laser printers.
If you do not like the paper, you may be able to return it
for another type — but test that one, too.

Inspect your work environment for the operating conditions
listed above if you believe ozone emissions are a problem in
your area. Some people may be ultra-sensitive to ozone odor.
If these situations are encountered, it is advisable to position
the printer away from the sensitive user.

Laser Safety
This chapter provides safety information and product
specifications for the SuperScript 4650 Series printer. As you
operate your printer, please be aware of the following safety
considerations.
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that
the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
Ozone Em ission
The corona assemblies found in laser printers and
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely
confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase
of user operation.
photocopiers generate ozone gas (O ) as a by-product of the
3
electrophotographic process. Ozone is only generated while
the printer is printing (while the coronas are energized).
UL Standards for Ozone
CDRH Regulations
The only existing standard for ozone emissions has been
established by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All
SuperScript family printers meet this standard when shipped
from the factory to our customers.
The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented
regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These
regulations apply to laser products manufactured after
August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products
marketed in the United States. The printer’s rear panel
indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must
be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
Em ployer Responsibilities
Because ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencies
have established limits to the amount of ozone to which
employees may be exposed. The employer is responsible for
providing a safe work environment that meets the agencies’
standards.
Caution! Use of controls, adjustm ents, or
perform ance of procedures other than those
specified in this user’s guide m ay result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Recom m endations for Minim izing Ozone Exposure
Almost all ozone concerns arise from abnormal site or
operating conditions. The following conditions may generate
an ozone complaint:
•
•
•
•
Installation of multiple laser printers in a confined area
Extremely low relative humidity
Poor room ventilation
The exhaust port of the printer is directed towards the
face of personnel
•
•
The existing ozone filter is in poor condition
Long, continuous printing combined with any of the
