PrintServer 17 Printer Installation Guide

This document is the "PrintServer 17 Printer Installation Guide," published by Digital Equipment Corporation in February 1993. It is a multilingual manual, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch versions.

The primary purpose of the guide is to walk users through the physical installation and initial setup of the PrintServer 17 printer, with a particular focus on how to obtain its unique Ethernet address. This address is essential for installing the necessary host system software to enable the printer's network operation.

The guide covers the following main sections:

1. Inventory: Details the components included with the printer that should be checked before installation.
2. Installing the Printer: Provides step-by-step instructions for unpacking the printer, removing shipping materials, installing the toner cartridge, loading paper, and attaching external trays and arms.
3. Connecting the Interface Cable: Explains where to connect network interface cables (ThickWire and ThinWire Ethernet, noting they are not supplied with the printer) on the back of the unit.
4. Obtaining the Ethernet Address: Instructs users on how to power on the printer and record the Ethernet address, which is displayed on the operator panel during the self-test cycle.

The document explicitly states that it does not cover the printer's operating requirements or the installation of the host system software (e.g., for VMS or ULTRIX), referring users to separate documentation for those topics. It also includes standard legal disclaimers and regulatory notices, such as FCC compliance information.
