NEC 870 - SuperScript B/W Laser Printer Network User's Manual page 6

Installing the NIC in the
Printer
The instructions on this page are illustrated on page 5.
First, Prepare the Printer
1. Turn off the printer, remove the power cord from the
rear panel of the printer, and disconnect the printer
parallel cable from the port (A). Position the printer so
you are facing the side and back corner where the
parallel cable port is located. Make sure that you have
enough room to work.
2. Press the Top Cover Release button and lift Cover (B).
3. Remove the two screws that hold on the printer's side
cover (C). Then remove the side cover completely by
pulling it out and then up (D).
4. Remove the two small screws from the expansion slot
on the rear of the printer (E), and remove the plate.
Second, Install the NIC
5. Remove the NIC from its protective bag.
6. Carefully align the pins and connect one end of the
interface cable to the connector on the NIC (F).
7. Hold the NIC so that its circuitry faces inside the printer,
its LED lights face the back of the printer, and the
mounting tab is up. Connect the free end of the interface
cable to the connector on the controller board (G).

8. Align the NIC with the expansion slot and reinstall the
two smaller screws removed in step 4. Use the mounting
screw to fasten the mounting tab to the brace in the
printer. Tighten all three screws to firmly attach the NIC
to the printer (H).
9. Replace the side cover by aligning the clips with the
bottom of the printer and bringing the top into place
with the screw holes aligned (make sure that the parallel
cable port clip is not pinned back by the side cover) (I).
Reinstall and tighten the screws (J).
10. Close the Top Cover of the printer.
Third, Test the NIC
Follow these steps to verify that the NIC is installed and
operating properly.
1. Connect the network's twisted pair cable with
RJ-45 connectors to the new network port on your
printer. Reattach the power cord to the printer, plug in
the printer.
2. Turn on the printer. It may take up to 90 seconds to
warm up, and then it prints a Network Settings page
with NIC status information (shown on page 6).
note:
Keep the Network Settings page. You will need
this information when configuring the NIC for your
network.
Your 870 Printer is now a network printer. The rest of this
Network User's Guide gives information for configuring
your systems to use the network printer.
