HP JetDirect J3265A Print Server

 

 

 

Note

 

In the following steps, the circled numbers

 

 

correspond to those in Figure 2.2. The HP JetDirect

 

 

300X, 170X, and EX Plus have one printer port ➌.

 

 

The HP JetDirect 500X Token Ring and 300X have

 

 

no BNC port ➊. On the HP JetDirect 500X and

 

 

300X, the RJ-45 connector ➋ is used for either 10 or

 

 

100 Mbps operation. The JetDirect 170X has no

 

 

BNC port ➊.

 

 

 

5.Connect the print server to the network ➊ or ➋.

6.Connect the print server to the printer(s) ➌, ➍, and ➎.

If you are attaching only one printer to the 500X, HP recommends that you attach that printer to Port 1 ➌.

If you are using DLC/LLC network protocols, your printer must be connected to Port 1 (the DLC/LLC protocol is supported only on Port 1).

7.Plug the power module into the power receptacle in the back of the print server ➏.
