LN17 and LN17ps Printers Setting Up Guide

This document serves as a "Setting Up Guide" for the Digital LN17 and LN17ps High Performance Network Printers. It provides a step-by-step process for initial printer setup, which is estimated to take between 10 to 30 minutes depending on the installation of various printer options.

The guide covers essential setup procedures including familiarizing with the printer's components, selecting an appropriate location, assembling the printer (installing the EP cartridge, loading paper, and connecting the power cord), and testing the printer by printing a configuration sheet. It also details the installation of optional components like memory SIMMs, network interface cards, PostScript SIMMs, and various paper handling options. Subsequent steps involve connecting the printer to a host system using specified cables, and installing the necessary printer drivers for different environments (DOS, Windows, Macintosh) as well as DCPS software for OpenVMS and DS/P software for Novell networks.

A key distinction noted is that the LN17ps model includes Adobe PostScript Level 2, 4 MB additional memory, and a DNIC-E'NET (Digital Network Interface Card for Ethernet) as standard components, in addition to all LN17 features. The guide concludes by directing users to the comprehensive User Guide for further details on features and functions.
