PrintServer 32 Printer

This document is an installation guide for the PrintServer 32 printer, published in July 1992 by Digital Equipment Corporation. It provides step-by-step instructions for the physical installation of the printer hardware, emphasizing that associated software must be installed before powering on the device.

Key installation phases covered include:

1. Preparation: Selecting a suitable site with adequate power (120V/20A or 240V/8A circuit), sufficient space, and appropriate environmental conditions (temperature 10-32°C, humidity 20-80%). It also mentions preparing the network (DECnet or TCP/IP configuration) and refers to other manuals for software installation.
2. Unpacking: Details how to unpack the main print engine and cabinet, along with Shipaway Kits A (containing the OPC drum, top output paper tray components) and B (manuals, paper cassettes, tools like a Phillips screwdriver and wrench, power cord, bubble level). It stresses the printer's weight and requires two people for safe removal from its shipping pallet. Various internal protective materials and shipping tapes are to be removed.
3. Component Assembly: Instructions for installing the bottom paper tray (referencing a separate guide), assembling and loading paper into the paper cassettes, and installing the top output paper tray components.
4. Toner and OPC Drum Installation: Procedures for adding a toner cartridge and carefully installing the Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) drum, including warnings about handling the drum and its protective sleeve.
5. Cable Connections: Guidance on connecting the Ethernet cable (standard or ThinWire with a DESTA adapter) and the power cable, ensuring the power switch is off before plugging into a wall outlet.
6. Leveling: Using a supplied wrench and bubble level to ensure the printer is stable and level in its permanent operating position.
7. Power-Up Test: The final step involves powering on the printer (after software is installed), which automatically performs a diagnostic self-test. The guide explains how to verify the self-test results (Ethernet address, firmware version, "Ready" message) and troubleshoot issues by referring to the PrintServer 32 Printer Operator's Guide or contacting Digital Support.
