= SUMMARY =

Printing to the NEC LC-890 SilentWriter may result in frequent “Enter Y to continue…” messages if the printer’s menu setting for “wait time” is not set for a long enough interval.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The LC-890 printer has an LCD Menu on the front panel to configure the printer for operation. To set the wait time, do the following:


 * 1) Press On Line to enter the Mode Menu.
 * 2) Press Menu.
 * 3) Press Select to choose the Setup category.
 * 4) Keep pressing Next until “miscellaneous” displays. Press Select.
 * 5) If “set wait time” displays, press Select, otherwise press Next until “set wait time” displays, then press Select.
 * 6) By pressing Next, the display will rotate through all the available settings (that is, 5, 15, 30, and infinite seconds).

If a 30-second “wait time” interval still results in Word timing out, select the Infinite setting.

Please refer to your NEC LC-890 documentation for more detailed information on setting options through the LCD panel.
