Enhanced I/O (EIO) configuration (hp color LaserJet 3700 series printer only)

Note

Note

This printer comes equipped with one enhanced input/output (EIO) slot. The EIO slot holds compatible external devices, such as the HP Jetdirect print server network cards or other devices. Plugging an EIO network card into the slot increases the number of network interfaces available to the printer.

EIO network cards can maximize printer performance when you are printing from a network. In addition, they provide the ability to place the printer anywhere on a network. This eliminates the need to attach the printer directly to a server or a to workstation, and allows you to place the printer closer to the network users.

If the printer is configured through an EIO network card, configure that card through the control panel Configure device menu.

HP Jetdirect print servers

HP Jetdirect print servers (network cards) can be installed in one of the printer’s EIO slots. These cards support multiple network protocols and operating systems. HP Jetdirect print servers facilitate network management by allowing you to connect a printer directly to your network at any location. HP Jetdirect print servers also support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which provides network managers with remote printer management and troubleshooting through the HP Web Jetadmin software.

Installation of these cards and network configuration should be performed by a network administrator. Configure the card either through the control panel, the printer installation software, or with HP Web Jetadmin software.

Refer to the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for information on which external devices or EIO network cards are supported.
