Introduction

The HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N family of internal print servers are network interface cards for HP Enhanced I/O (EIO) printers and MFP (multifunction peripheral) products. With an HP Jetdirect print server, you can connect and share your printer anywhere on your network and print at network speeds.

A typical network using an HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N print server is illustrated below. The card must first be installed into the printer and connected to the network. Then, you must configure the card for network operation.

● To configure the card, you can use the HP Jetdirect printer

installation and setup software. Refer to the HP Jetdirect software installation instructions included with this product.

●

Alternatively, for printers equipped with a control panel, you can use the printer’s control panel to configure basic network parameters. See Appendix A

1-8 Introduction

ENWW

Supported Printers

The HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N print servers are supported in all HP printers and multifunction peripheral devices (MFPs) with Enhanced Input/Output (EIO) slots, such as:

■ HP LaserJet EIO printers and MFPs

■ HP Color LaserJet EIO printers and MFPs

■ HP DesignJet EIO large format printers

■ HP Business InkJet EIO printers

For most of these printers, you can use the printer’s control panel to configure basic network parameters on the HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N internal print server. Refer to Appendix A

Note For installation procedures or limitations in

peripheral devices not covered in this guide, refer to the manuals supplied with the peripheral device.

Installing the Print Server

What You Need for Installation

● The proper HP Jetdirect print server, documentation, and

software for your network.

● The proper network cables and connectors for connecting the card

and printer to your network.

● A static-safe environment for handling the card.

CAUTION

HP Jetdirect cards contain electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity through electrostatic discharge (ESD).

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.

To prevent ESD damage, maintain frequent

Installing the Print Server 2-11

Step 1. Identify Your HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N Internal Print Server

Remove the HP Jetdirect card from its packaging and verify that you have the correct card for your network.

and IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T networks (10 Mbps).

This card provides a single RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables.

IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T/10Base-2 networks (10 Mb ps), and LocalTalk networks.

This card provides an RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables, a BNC connector for ThinLAN coaxial cables, and a Mini-DIN 8 connector for a LocalTalk connector box.

for Ethernet,

You can use the LocalTalk port and only one Ethernet port: RJ-45 or BNC

for Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) networks. A Data Rate switch selects operation for 4-Mbps or 16Mbps Token Ring networks.

This card provides an RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables, and a DB 9 connector for Type 1, 2 or 6 shielded twisted-pair cables.

This card provides a single RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables.

Data Rate Switch

You can use only one Token Ring port: RJ-45 or DB 9.

To manually set link operation, see

Installing the Print Server 2-13

Step 2. (J4167A Only) If Necessary, Set the Token Ring Data Rate Switch

●

If you have an HP J4167A 610N Token Ring print server

you must set the Data Rate switches on the card to either 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps. The selection depends on the data rate of your Token Ring network.

4 Mbps

Locate the Token Ring card Data Rate switches.

Set the switches to 4 or 16 Mbps. The default is 16 Mbps.
