Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server

Introduction

HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By attaching directly to a network, devices can be conveniently located near users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds.

HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network by adapting the printer’s parallel port to a network port. Depending on the model, HP Jetdirect external print servers can connect up to three printers to a network.

Note	Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in
	this manual refers to the HP Jetdirect print servers
	and not a separate computer running print server
	software.
