The HP JetDirect 300X provides connectivity to 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks. The HP JetDirect 170X provides connectivity to 10Base-T networks. The HP JetDirect EX Plus provides connectivity to 10Base-T and 10Base2 networks.

The HP JetDirect three-port print servers have three high-speed, bidirectional parallel ports (IEEE 1284) that support multiple network operating systems (NOSs). Each port operates independently which, in effect, gives you three print servers in one (Figure 1.2).

Figure 1.2 Use the HP JetDirect 500X print server to connect up to three peripherals to your network.

There are two models of the HP JetDirect 500X: one for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 10Base2 networks (J3265A) and the other for Token Ring networks (J3264A). The 500X connects up to three printers, plotters, or HP All-in-One peripherals with parallel ports to a network.
