HPIIISi TWINAX CARD

3. Quick Start

CAUTION

The HPIIISi Twinax Card is static-sensitive. Make sure you do not damage the Card with static electricity. Take precautions as you would with any static-sensitive device. When one is available, stand on an anti- static mat or use an anti-static work surface when installing the Card.

Take these steps to get your HPIIISi Twinax Card up and running quickly:

1.Power on the printer and perform a one-page self-test, as described in the printer’s user’s guide. Do not continue with the installation until the printer successfully completes its self-test.

2.Remove the power cord and other cables attached to the printer.

3.If you’re installing the Card in an HP LaserJet III series printer, remove the existing serial/ parallel card (or any other MIO card in the printer) by loosening the screws at either end of its bracket.

If you’re installing the Card into an HP LaserJet 4 series laser printer, remove the cover over the MIO expansion slot by loosening the screws at either end of its bracket.

NOTE

The Card can be installed in the upper MIO slot on the HP LaserJet 4Si and 4 SiMX with an optional bracket. The Card is shipped configured to fit into the lower MIO slot. If you need to install the Card into the upper MIO slot, call your supplier.

4.Remove the Card from the bag by its edges and align it with the connector inside the printer.

5.Place the bottom of the Card in the plastic card guide inside the printer and slide it into place.

6.Turn on the printer. After the printer is READY, perform an interface self-test (to verify the Card’s operation) by selecting that option through the printer’s front panel.

First, take the printer offline, then use the “Menu” button to scroll through the HP menus until you reach the MIO menu associated with the Twinax Card. Press “Item” to display the Card’s Test Menu.

Press “+” to display the Self-Test option and press “Select” or “Enter” to activate it. Return to the operating mode by pressing the “Online” button.
