Interface ports

 

All 2500 series printers have two interface ports: an IEEE-1284B parallel port and a USB port.

 

The 2500L and 2500 models also contain an EIO slot for installing an optional HP Jetdirect print

 

server card. To order, see “Accessories and ordering information” on page 24, or contact your

 

local HP dealer.

 

The 2500n and 2500tn models include an HP JetDirect print server card (J6057A) that contains

 

a 10/100 Base-T (RJ-45) port.

 

 

Note

You cannot connect the printer to one computer using the parallel cable and to another computer

 

using the USB cable. If you connect both types of cables, the USB disables itself. However, you

 

can connect one of the cables while the printer is connected to the network using an installed

 

HP Jetdirect print server card.

(on the optional HP Jetdirect

 

print server card)

Because an HP Jetdirect print server card is not included with all models, it will be referred to as the optional HP Jetdirect print server card in this documentation.
