Step 4: Connecting the Printer to the Network

If you will connect the computer to the printer with a parallel cable, see “To connect a parallel cable” later in this Step.

If the printer was shipped with an optional HP JetDirect 10/100TX internal print server for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX networks, the RJ-45 (unshielded twisted pair) card is installed.

To connect to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network

Plug the connector of the unshielded twisted-pair network cable into the RJ-45 port. The other end of the cable should be attached to the network.

Note

The RJ-45 cable is not included with the printer. It must be purchased

 

separately.
