Installing the HP Jetdirect print server

 

Your printer can be shared in a network environment by connecting it directly to the network

 

with an HP Jetdirect print server. The print server can be used in both client-server and

 

peer-to-peer printing configurations. It can provide better performance than printing through

 

non-network connections, and can also provide flexibility in preparing a location for the printer.

 

An HP Jetdirect print server is preinstalled in the HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn printer. For a list

 

of print servers that can be purchased for the printer, see Accessories.

 

To install the HP Jetdirect print server

 

 

CAUTION

The HP Jetdirect print server card contains electronic components that can be damaged by

 

static electricity. If possible, wear a grounding wrist strap (or similar device). Handle the print

 

server card carefully at all times. Avoid touching electronic components or circuit paths.

 

Failure to follow these recommendations could result in damage to the parts.

 

1 Turn off the printer, and disconnect the power cord and any other cables.

 

 

2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen and remove the retaining screw that hold the cover for

 

the empty EIO slot. Remove the cover.

 

3 Firmly insert the HP Jetdirect print server card into the EIO slot.

4Insert and tighten the retaining screws that came with the print server card.

5Connect a network cable between the print server card and the network.
