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.
