NEC Silentwriter 2 260 and 290 (59609)

SUMMARY

The following information summarizes the specifications of the NEC Silentwriter 2 family of printers.

The 290, a PostScript printer that can emulate the HP LaserJet Plus, contains 35 resident Adobe scalable fonts.

Note: The 2 290 will typically be used in its native PostScript mode, NOT its Laserjet emulation mode.
