This booklet describes how to set up your Network Printer 17. It describes a basic
configuration using a parallel cable connection. This cable needs to be purchased
separately; it is not included with the printer.
Note: In addition to the parallel cable attachment, the Network Printer 17 supports a
wide variety of network attachment interfaces, including twinax, coax, token ring, and
Ethernet attachments. For information about installing network attachments and other
optional features, please read “Installing Other Options and Attachments” on page 2.
