If you have a problem during the installation, see Section 9.2 for assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------ Associated Documents In addition to this guide, refer to the following manuals from the Software Kit to complete the installation of the printer: VMS: DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS Installation Guide DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS Management Guide DECprint Printing Services Software Installation Guide ULTRIX: DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX Installation Guide DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX Management Guide Installation Guide: PrintServer Client for ULTRIX These guides explain how to install the PrintServer supporting host and client software on a VMS or ULTRIX system. The supporting host software enables the VMS host to function as a supporting host to a remote PrintServer 32 printer. The client software provides users with remote printing facilities on the PrintServer 32 printer. ix For VMS, the supporting host and DECprint Printing Services software can be installed on the same VMS system. Conventions The following terms and conventions are used in this guide: ------------------------------------------------------------ Term/Convention Meaning ------------------------------------------------------------ Note Provides additional information. Caution Provides information for preventing equipment or software damage. Warning Provides information for preventing personal injury. OPC The organic photo conductor is the type of drum the printer uses. OPC drums can be disposed of without taking any special precautions. Bullet ( ) A bulleted statement describes a result after performing a step. For example: 1. Press the Pause key to place the printer off line. · The off-line indicator lights. Arrow ( !) Indicates a special instruction. For example: 1. Remove the toner cartridge from the drawer by lifting it straight up. ! Discard the toner cartridge. Bold Text in boldface designates messages that appear on the operator panel. ------------------------------------------------------------ Laser Safety The PrintServer 32 printer complies with laser product performance standards set by government agencies as a Class 1 Laser Product. The PrintServer 32 printer does not emit hazardous light, since the beam is enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ Use of controls or adjustment procedures other than those specified in this guide may result in hazardous laser light exposure. ------------------------------------------------------------ x Ozone Safety The PrintServer 32 printer uses an ozone filter to remove the ozone generated by the printer. Be sure to replace the ozone filter each time user maintenance is performed on the printer. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not operate the printer without the ozone filter installed. The filter removes ozone that may cause eye or respiratory irritation. ------------------------------------------------------------ Before You Start Before you install the PrintServer 32 printer, be sure you have the following items (see Figure 1): · Print engine and cabinet (packaged in one box). Also in this box are Shipaway Kits A and B. See Chapter 2 for items supplied in the shipaway kits. · Bottom paper tray, shipped in its own box. · Software Kit (optional), which contains software documentation and media. · Country Kit (non-U.S. only), which contains translated hardware documentation, overlays, labels, and the appropriate power cord. If any items are missing or damaged, immediately contact your sales representative and delivery agent or your DECdirect customer service representative. Special Tools The only tools you need to install the PrintServer 32 printer are the open-end wrench and the Phillips screwdriver supplied in Shipaway Kit B. You need a razor knife to open the boxes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ The printer is heavy. To avoid injury, use two people to roll the printer down the shipping pallet ramp. Do not attempt to roll the printer down the shipping pallet alone. ------------------------------------------------------------ xi Figure 1 Shipping Boxes xii 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Preparing to Install the Printer Before you unpack and install the PrintServer 32 printer, perform the following tasks: · Select a site · Install the software on your system · Prepare the network 1.1 Select a Site The proper site for the PrintServer 32 printer includes the following: · A wall outlet · Space around the unit for easy access · Appropriate environmental conditions 1.1.1 Find a Wall Outlet Select a wall outlet with the correct voltage and adequate amperage to supply power to the printer. The power requirements for the PrintServer 32 printer are: ------------------------------------------------------------ Voltage Frequency Amperage ------------------------------------------------------------ 120 Volts 60 Hz 20-Amp circuit 240 Volts 50 Hz 8-Amp circuit ------------------------------------------------------------ Do not plug other equipment that draws high levels of current, such as coffee pots, office copiers, or air conditioners, into the same power supply line. Exceeding the amperage rating trips the circuit breaker of the power supply line. Preparing to Install the Printer 1-1 1.1.2 Provide Easy Access Find an area that allows users access to the printer: · A level floor · Enough surrounding space to allow ventilation and easy access to all sides of the printer for servicing and adding paper. Make sure the user can face the opening of the bottom paper tray. Figure 1-1 illustrates the space requirements for the printer. Figure 1-1 Space Requirements 1-2 Preparing to Install the Printer 1.1.3 Find the Right Environment The PrintServer 32 printer works best in an area that is: · At a temperature range of 10° to 32°C (50° to 90°F) and a humidity range of 20% to 80%. This ensures consistent image quality and prevents paper jams. · Well ventilated. This prevents heat buildup in the unit. · Clean. This ensures that dust will not unnecessarily wear moving parts. · Free from magnets and equipment, such as motors and transformers, which generate magnetic fields. · Not subject to sudden changes in temperature or high humidity. · Not exposed directly to a draft of hot or cold air from a heating system or an air conditioner. 1.2 Install the Software The PrintServer 32 printer works with DEC PrintServer Supporting Host software. To install the software, refer to the following documents: · DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS Installation Guide · DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX Installation Guide VMS, Version 5.4 or higher requires DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS, Version 4.1 or higher. The following variations of ULTRIX require DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX, Version 4.1: · ULTRIX, Versions 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 · ULTRIX (RISC), Versions 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 · ULTRIX Worksystem Software, Versions 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 · ULTRIX Worksystem Software (RISC), Versions 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The PrintServer software must be installed before powering on the PrintServer 32 printer.
