HP 4200n, 4300dtns, 4200dtnsl, 4200tn Communicating with an optional HP Jetdirect print server

Use the EIO menu to set the link speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (full- or half- duplex) so that they match the network. (See “EIO [X]” on page 165.) For example, if the port on the network switch is set for 100TX full-duplex operation, you must set the print server for 100TX full-duplex operation.

Check the HP Jetdirect configuration page. The message “Loss of Carrier Error” indicates that the print server failed to link to the network.

Check the link-speed indicators (10 or 100) on the print server. If both are off, the print server failed to link to the network.

If the message "I/O Card Ready” does not appear on the HP Jetdirect configuration page, see the troubleshooting section of the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator’s Guide.

Check the HP Jetdirect configuration page. To print one, see “Configuration page” on page 83.
