Selecting a Printer Location

4❖Setting Up the LN17 and LN17ps Printers

Selecting a

Printer

Location

Select a printer location that meets the minimum air space

requirements shown in Figure 2. Set the printer on a flat,

stable surface away from direct sunlight and electrical

interference.

In selecting a location for the printer, you should also consider

the following:

• Is the Control Panel accessible for viewing and use?

• Is there enough clearance above the printer to replace

consumables?

• Is there enough clearance above the printer to add paper

handling options?

The 500-sheet Paper Deck adds 120 mm (4.8 in.) to the

height of the printer; the Offset Catch Tray adds 130 mm

(5.2 in.); the Mailbox adds 370 mm (14.6 in.).

• Is there enough clearance around the printer should it

ever require servicing? (If not, you may need to relocate

the printer for servicing.)

Assembling the Printer

Setting Up the LN17 and LN17ps Printers ❖5

Assembling

the Printer Assembling the printer is easily accomplished in just a few

steps:

• Install the EP (electronic printing) cartridge,

• Load the Main Tray paper cassette with paper and insert

it into the printer, and

• Connect the power cord.

Follow the instructions below to assemble the printer.

Caution

Do not expose the EP cartridge to direct sunlight or artificial

light for more than 15 minutes. Overexposure will

permanently damage the photosensitive imaging drum.

removing the cartridge from its package.
