The HP JetDirect Print Server Card

Introduction

The HP JetDirect print server is a card that is installed in the modular input/output (MIO) slot of a printer and allows the printer to be connected directly to a network instead of a single PC. When you use an HP JetDirect print server, you can place your printer anywhere on a network for use by multiple clients.

The HP JetDirect print server card must first be installed into the printer and then be configured for network operation. To configure the print server, you can use HP JetDirect software, or the printer’s control panel for selected printers*.

This guide shows you how to perform the hardware installation for the following printers:

• HP Color LaserJet*, and Color LaserJet 5 Series* (5, 5M)

• HP LaserJet 5Si Series* (5Si, 5Si MX, 5Si NX, 5Si Mopier)

• HP LaserJet 5 Series* (5, 5M, 5N)

• HP LaserJet 4Si Series* (4Si, 4Si MX)

• HP LaserJet 4 Plus Series* (4 Plus, 4M Plus)

• HP LaserJet 4 Series* (4, 4M)

• HP LaserJet 4V Series* (4V, 4MV)

• HP Professional Series* (2500C, 2500CM)

• HP DeskJet 1200C Series (1200C, 1200C/PS)

• HP DeskJet 1600C Series (1600C, 1600CM, 1600CN)

• HP CopyJet and CopyJet M color printer-copier

• HP DesignJet 600 Series* (600, 650C)

• HP DesignJet 700 Series* (700, 750C, 750C Plus, 755CM)

• HP DesignJet 2000CP, 2500CP, 3000CP, 3500CP Series*

• HP DesignJet ColorPro GA Series*

* Control panels for these printers allow you to configure some network parameters manually (see chapters 3 and 4).

Introduction

The HP JetDirect Print Server Card 1-3

What You Need for Installation

• The appropriate HP JetDirect print server, documentation, and software.

• A static-safe environment for handling the card. A grounding wrist strap or similar device is recommended.

• Appropriate network cables and connectors for connecting the card to the network.

• A small flat-blade screwdriver. Installing the card into the upper MIO slot of an HP LaserJet 4Si/4Si MX printer also requires a small Phillips-head screwdriver.

CAUTION

The HP JetDirect card contains electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity through electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage, maintain frequent contact with any bare sheet metal surface on the printer. A grounding wrist strap (or similar device) is useful for this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all times. Avoid touching electronic components or circuit paths.

1-4 The HP JetDirect Print Server Card

Installing the HP JetDirect Print Server Card

Task 1. If you have a Token Ring card, set the Data-Rate switch (if necessary)

Before installing a Token Ring card, you must set the data-rate switch to either 4 Mbit/second or 16 Mbit/second (factory default). The selected setting depends on the data-rate operation of your Token Ring network.

1. Locate the Data-Rate switch on the Token Ring print server card.

2. Set the switch to 4 Mbit/s or 16 Mbit/s. Note: when switches are pressed toward the “Open” position, they are in the 16 Mbit/s setting.

Using the Control Panel To Configure HP JetDirect Cards in Printers

Introduction

If you have an HP DesignJet large-format printer (except DesignJet ColorPro GA), go to Chapter 4.

The printers listed below have control panels that let you configure certain network parameters manually.

• HP Color LaserJet and Color LaserJet Series (5, 5M)

• HP LaserJet 5Si Series (5Si, 5Si MX, 5Si NX, 5Si Mopier)

• HP LaserJet 5 Series (5, 5M, 5N)

• HP LaserJet 4Si Series (4Si, 4Si MX)

• HP LaserJet 4V Series (4V, 4MV)

• HP LaserJet 4 Plus Series (4 Plus, 4M Plus)

• HP LaserJet 4 Series (4, 4M)

• HP Professional Series (2500C, 2500CM)

• HP DesignJet ColorPro GA printer

You can use the printer control panels to do the following:

• enable or disable network protocols

• configure Novell NetWare frame types

• configure Novell NetWare source routing for Token Ring

networks

• configure TCP/IP parameters

• configure Apple EtherTalk Phase parameters for Ethernet

networks

• for the HP LaserJet 4, 4M printers, configure the timeout setting for sensing the end of a job

NOTE

Once you have configured these parameters using the control panel, you still need to install the appropriate print server software to complete the configuration process. Refer to your HP JetDirect software installation guide for instructions.

The above parameters can also be configured using the HP JetDirect software.

Using the Control Panel for Printers 3-1

Printer Control

Enabling and Disabling Network Protocols

When you first install the card from the factory, all supported network protocols are enabled (or turned on) when you turn the printer on. The card provides automatic network switching between network protocols for printers that do not support this function. If you reconfigure the card—for example, you disable a network protocol—your configuration is saved on the card and is maintained even after the printer is turned off.

If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively transmit even when the protocol is not in use on the network. This may slightly increase network traffic. To eliminate unnecessary traffic, you can disable unused protocols. Disabling unused protocols lets you:

• reduce network traffic by eliminating broadcast messages from unused protocols (for example, NetWare and TCP/IP).

• provide better control over who prints to the printer by eliminating users from other networks who might accidentally route print jobs to this printer.

• eliminate unnecessary information on the self-test page or configuration plot, which displays status information for all enabled protocols.

• display protocol-specific error conditions on the printer control panel. These warning messages are displayed only if all enabled protocols are unable to print.

To restore configuration default values

You can restore default values by performing a cold reset on your printer. To perform a cold reset, turn off the printer and then hold

[On Line]

down back on. This restores your printer configuration to the factory default values.

Configuring TCP/IP Parameters

Using the control panel of your printer, you can manually configure these TCP/IP parameters:

• You can configure BOOTP, which automatically downloads configuration data over the network (this is the default setting),

• You can enter these parameters individually:

• IP address (4 bytes)

• Subnet mask (4 bytes)

• Syslog server IP address (4 bytes)

• Default gateway (4 bytes)

• TCP connection timeout (in seconds)

NOTE

A valid IP address is required for proper operation of the card on a TCP/IP network.

For DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) operation, BOOTP must be enabled.

If an IP address is configured through DHCP and is subsequently changed through the control panel, the DHCP assigned address is released.

If a printer is configured through DHCP, and you manually change the subnet mask or default gateway through the control panel, you should also change the IP address.

Supported Network Protocols

If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively transmit even when the protocol is not in use on the network. This may slightly increase network traffic. To eliminate unnecessary traffic from unused protocols, you can set the card to operate with a single network protocol. When you enable a single network protocol, other protocols are turned off.

From the printer control panel you can configure these network protocols:

AUTO:

•

network switching is performed by the card. This is the default setting.

All supported network protocols are active. Automatic

Configuring TCP/IP Parameters

Using the control panel of your printer, you can manually configure these TCP/IP parameters:

• You can configure BOOTP, which automatically downloads configuration data over the network (this is the default setting)

• You can enter these parameters individually:

• IP address (4 bytes)

• Subnet mask (4 bytes)

• Syslog server IP address (4 bytes)

• Default gateway (4 bytes)

• TCP connection timeout (in seconds)

HP J4100A 10/100Base-TX Print Server

Supported Links

HP J4100A JetDirect 10/100 Base-TX print servers support 10 or 100 Mbps operation in full- or half-duplex modes. In most cases, full-duplex is supported when the connecting network device— such as a network switch or hub—supports IEEE 802.3u autonegotiation specifications.

When connecting to network devices that do not support auto-negotiation, or that implement non-conforming link negotiation, the print server will configure itself for

100-Mbps half-duplex

to a non-negotiating 10-Mbps hub, the print server card will be automatically set to operate at

Link Troubleshooting

If the HP J4100A JetDirect 10/100Base-TX print server does not successfully connect to the network, both LEDs will be off and a “LOSS OF CARRIER ERROR” will be indicated in the MIO section of the HP JetDirect self-test page.

NOTE

Try the following troubleshooting procedures:

• Verify cabling connections.

• At the network device (such as a switching hub) that connects

the print server to the network, configure the port for halfduplex operation. Then power-cycle the printer.

• Manually set the link configuration both on the JetDirect print server and at the network device, ensuring that the link configurations are the same. (For example, if you set the HP JetDirect print server for 100TX Full-Duplex operation, the port on the network hub or switch must also be set to 100TX Full-Duplex operation.) Be sure to power-cycle the printer.

For additional assistance, contact your HP Customer Care center.
