Fax Option for Win 95

At the present time NEC is not planning to offer updated PostScript Fax drivers for Windows 95.

Adobe Systems, the developer of the original PS Fax software has decided not to offer a Win95

compatible PS Fax driver. PostScript Fax was offered on NEC Silentwriter models 95, 97, and 1097.

All three models have been discontinued.

PCPanel for Win 95

Because of significant technical changes required to update the current PcPanel software for Win95,

as well as having limited resources, NEC Technologies, Inc. currently does not have plans to offer

updates to this Software.

QuickDraw GX Drivers Macintosh

Due to QDGX's limited acceptance in the Macintosh market and the amount of development effort

required to develope QDGX drivers for older model printers, NECTECH currently does not have plans

to offer QDGX drivers for older NEC printers. However it important to know that these printers can

function with the existing LaserWriter GX drivers which Apple ships with System 7.5.x. Apple ships an

extension called Desktop Print Monitor. This ships with 7.5.2 operating system and Apples 8.3 driver

and supports drag and drop, and True Type GX fonts.

To order parts for this printer please call 800-233-6321 in the U.S. and 800-727-2787 in Canada.
