Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server

Introduction

HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By attaching a device directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds.

HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible enhanced input/output (EIO) slot.

HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network by adapting the printer’s USB port to the network.

Note

Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in

 

this manual refers to the HP Jetdirect print servers

 

and not a separate computer running print server

 

software.

 

When connected through a wireless connection to

 

your network, an HP Jetdirect wireless print server

 

provides the same printing services as Jetdirect

 

print servers connected by network cables.
