Introducing the HP Jetdirect Embedded Print Server

Introduction

This printer or multifunction peripheral (MFP) device contains an HP Jetdirect embedded print server that is integrated directly on the device. Using this print server, you can connect this device directly to a network and share it among multiple users or systems. Because the print server is built into the device, an input/output (I/O) slot or external port is not needed for network connectivity and may be used for other purposes.

Network Connection

Using the embedded print server and built-in RJ-45 connector, the printer or MFP device can connect to an IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-TX (Ethernet/Fast Ethernet) network through unshielded twisted-pair network cables.

Autonegotiation (10/100Base-TX) is used to automatically configure link operation at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and full- or half-duplex communication mode, as required by the network. However, link operation may be manually set using several configuration tools, such as the printer control panel (if supported), Telnet and TFTP commands, a Web browser, and network management software. These tools are described later in this guide.

Note	Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in
	this manual refers to an HP Jetdirect print server
	and not a separate computer running print server
	software.
