EIO Menu

If an Enhanced Input Output (EIO) card (for example, an HP JetDirect Print Server) has been installed in the printer, an additional menu is available. This additional menu provides a way to configure the EIO accessory and to adjust network interface settings. For information on HP JetDirect EIO menus, see the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide. This guide is included with the HP Color LaserJet 4500 N and 4500 DN printers and is also available through HP Direct. (For ordering information, see Appendix D.)
