Introduction
Introduction
This guide is for use with the DP N24, N32, and N40 printers.
Becaus e most of the printer’s features and functionality are shared
by all three, this guide uses the gen eric name DP N40 when
referring to these printers. And it refers to all features not found on
the base printer a s opt ions.
This guide also identifies two different configurations for the
DP N40:
• The tabletop configuration
• The console configuration (sitting on top of the optional 2,500
Sheet Feeder).
Samples of each configuration are show n later in this chapter,
however the figures throughout this guide may show either
config uration when illustrating a feature or procedure.

• RS232C Serial Interfac e with a DB9 Connector

The DP N40 is set to print at 600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch). You can
also prin t dr aft-quality jobs by using the Syste m Menu to set Draft
Mode to On. The printer automatically reduces the amount of toner
by two - thirds (and prints a d raft-quality output). Draft Mode can be

You can print PostScript LanguageLevel 3 (hereafter re ferred to as
PostScript) and PCL 6 Emulation (hereafter referred to as PCL)
jobs all the way to the edge of the page. (However, there is a 4 mm
border on all edges, with all paper sizes, where pri nt quality cannot
be guarante ed.) This feature may be selected via the Control Panel
for PCL jobs or via print drivers for both PCL and PostScript jobs.
Note that selecting this feature will cause PCL job printing to be
shifted up to the top of the page and left to the edge of the page .
The DP N40 allows you to set automatic tray sequencing for both
PCL and PostScript jobs. When a paper tra y runs out of paper, the
printer autom atically swi tches to another pape r tray (if another tray
is loaded with the s ame s ize and type paper). That means you don't
have to load paper as often. You can also install the optiona l 2,500
Sheet Feeder (with one 50 0 sheet tray and two 1,000 sheet trays) to
extend your printing capacity.
For more information on tray switchin g, see th e section
Tray Switching”
The printer can proce ss both PCL and PostScript jobs. When the
printer' s Language Sensing op tion is on, the DP N40 samples the
incoming data stream to determine which language the print job
requires. The DP N40 then switches to the proper interpreter for
that jo b.

Automatic Font/Macro
Saving
Language Sensi ng can be set individually for each port, or protocol
within a port, from the Parallel Menu and from the Ethernet and
Novell Menus by setting the appropriate PDL setting to Auto.
With the Language Sensing option on, the printer automatically
samples each print job and switches to the appropriate processing
language.
For more information about language s ens ing and switching, see
Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel
When you are printing both PostScript and PCL jobs, the printer
will automatically save downloaded fonts, macros, and the entire
PostScript e n vironm ent whe n it switc hes PDLs (Print er Des cripti on
Language). Th is saves you from having to do wnload fonts, macros,
and headers every time the program switches between PostScript
and PCL.

Reports
The DP N40 allows u ser s to de fi ne an d co n t rol what are ca ll ed
“secure jobs .” When a secure job is sent to the printer , printing is
delayed until the password associated with that job is entered at the
printer’s Control Panel. Secure job s ar e defined and enabled ei ther

Disk Drive option.
The DP N40 allows you to view and proofread the firs t set of a
multiple set job before printing the remaining sets. This is called
“proof prin ting”. When you send a proof job to the print er, only the
firs t set is printed immediately. You can then go to th e pr inter and
proof the fi rst set. Depending on the out come of the proofing, you
can then decide either to continue printing the remaining sets or to
delete the job by entering the Password Menu via the Printer
Control Pa nel. Proof printing jobs are defined and ena bled either
via the DP N40 printer drivers or via a sequence of PJL commands
(see

Using the printer's Control Panel, you can print seven separate

The DP N40 dri ver s ends data to t he p rinter o nly once, rega rdless of
the number of copies specified. This conserves valuable network
resources and allows users to resume their applications quickly.
Once the dat a reaches the N40 , it analyzes the job to determine the
amount of memory the raste r ized data will require. If there is
sufficient memory, it wil l per form Raster Image Processing (RIP)
only once and hold the ras terized pages in memory for use in
printing each successive copy.
Raster izing is a time consuming part of the printing process . On m any
small group laser pri n ters, raster p rocessing is repeated for each successive
copy. The ability of the N40’s printer intelligence to determine that

produced at rated pr inter speeds. This enhances job performance.
Intelligent rasterizing is performed automatically by the N40.
Memor y Co nsid eratio ns
Memory
Considerations
In today's printing environments, technologies have advanced
greatly. Corresponding memory r equire ments have increased too. If
you plan to print highly complex jobs , you may need to add printer
memory.
The DP N40 accepts memory SIMMs with the following
specifications:
• 8 MB SIMM
— 72 pins
— 70 nanosecond access time
— No parity
— 2M x 32 bits
• 16 MB SIMM
— 72 pins
— 70 nanosecond access time
— No parity
— 4M x 32 bits
• 32 MB SIMM
— 72 pins
— 70 nanosecond access time
— No parity
— 8M x 32 bits
Additional m emory will provide the following enhanced DP N40
capabilities:
• Additional font cache
• Additional download space for fonts, macros and images
• Increased throughput for complex pages, duplex pages an d
larger paper sizes (A3/Ledger)
• Increased PostScript VM
• Collated sets wit hout the Hard Disk Drive

Precautions
Please observe the following precautions for installing and using
your DP N40 printer. Please le ave a minimum of 30 inches above
the printer when the Mailbox is installed.
To avoid f i re hazard:
• Do not place the printer in a location with high temperat ure and
humidity, poor ventilation, or a high level of dust.
• Do not place the printer near heaters or similar objects.
• Never block the printer’s ventilation openings. Be sure to leave
ample space between the ventilation openings and the nearest
wall or other surface. (Refer to Figures 1.4 and 1.5 for space
requirements.)
• Do not place the printer near alcohol, benzene, or other volatile
and flammable materials.
Chapte r 1: Getti ng S tarte d ❖ 1-15
Installing the Printer
To avoid electric shock or fire hazard:
• Do not connect the printer to any power source until you are
instru c t ed to d o so.
• Do not plug the printer into an AC outlet with incorrect voltage.
• The printer must be properly grounded. Do not bypass the
ground plug. Us e a three-prong connecti on .
• Do not use a multi-extension cord connector.
• If using an extension cord, do not use one with rated current less
than 125V 15A (250V 13A in Europe). Do not damage or modify
the extension cord. Do not bend, pull or p lace heavy objects on
the extension cord.
• Never touch the GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) or plug with wet
hands.
• If you do not use the GFI, Olivetti does not guarantee the
succe ss f ul op er a t io n of your mach ine.
To avoid printer malfunction or damage:
• Position the printer on a horizontal, sturdy and stable surface.
• Operate the printer under temperature conditions of 10 to 35° C
(50 to 95° F), with humidity 15 to 85%. Be sure to keep the
temperature below 28º C (82° F) if t h e humidity is 85%.
If the temperature changes si gn ificantly, condensation may
develop inside the printer and cause printing problems.
Therefore, be sure to let the printer stabilize for some time to
adjust to the new temperature.
• Do not subject the printer to direct sunlight.

Lifting and Carrying
the Print e r
THIS PRINTER IS HEAVY. The weight of the main unit
without paper cassette, consumables, and paper is about
105 lbs. (48 kg). Never attempt to lift the printer by yourself.
THE PRINTER SHOULD A LWAYS BE CARRIED BY TWO
PEOPLE.
To carry the prin ter, grasp the bottom corners on the right side (as
shown in Figure 1.6), not from the front (where t he c ontrol panel is
located) and ba ck si des. On the le ft si de, hol d bot h corner s of the 50
