Xerox DocuPrint N17 Version 1.8 Controller Software WARNING! Before downloading the new Version 1.8 Controller Software to your N17 printer, please read the following notices: WARNING TO APPLETALK USERS: Please be advised that Release 1.8 Controller Software cannot be downloaded to the N17 printer via AppleTalk. To download Version 1.8 to this printer it will be necessary to use an IBM-compatible PC or UNIX workstation connected through the network (via Novell NetWare, UNIX LPR or Xerox Internet Services), or through the Parallel Port. WARNING TO HARD DISK USERS: If you have an optional Hard Disk Drive installed in your printer, when the Version 1.8 Controller Software is downloaded the Hard Disk will automatically be re-partitioned and re-formatted. These actions are necessary in order to implement certain new features and capabilities in the Version 1.8 software. You should be aware, however, that any files or resources (fonts, macros, unprinted secure/proof jobs, etc.) that you have stored on the Hard Disk at the time Version 1.8 is being installed will be deleted when the disk re-formatting takes place. Therefore, any files or resources currently stored on the Hard Disk which will be required for future printing applications will need to be downloaded to the Hard Disk again following the installation of Version 1.8 software. UPDATED DRIVERS: When you install the new Version 1.8 Controller Software in your printer, we strongly recommend that you also download an updated set of Printer Drivers from this web site. This will ensure that the driver software you are using is fully compatible with the printer software you have installed, and will allow you to access all of the new and improved features. If there is anything about these notices that you do not understand, or need further information about, please contact Xerox Customer Support. If desired, a complete set of Release 1.8 User Documentation for your product can be downloaded from the Xerox Network Printers Web Site, which can be accessed by pointing your Web Browser to the following URL: http://xerox.networkprinters.com/docs/docs.asp The latest version of printer firmware currently available is Release 1.86.
