Customer Expectations

While HP JetDirect print servers are effective in these environments, the following caveats apply:

•Some JetDirect models may not work with the Document Centre. The model selected must be capable of half-duplex (non bi-directional) operation.

•Scan to file from the Document Centre is not possible via the Jet Direct connection, but copy, print, and LAN fax functions operate properly. The Document Centre internal network interface may be used for scanning, or for network clients that do not depend on JetAdmin. You can use both connections simultaneously. Keep in mind that each connection has a distinct IP address.

•If you do not use the Document Centre internal network, there is no communication from the Document Centre to the network so that the following are not available: http, network scan, web submission/configuration, SNMP, and all remote administration.

•Although JetDirect supports Novell, this document describes TCP/IP connection.

•CentreWare Network Services are not available for this environment.

•HP, not Xerox, supports JetDirect installation and operation. This includes all communications to and from the network with respect to Document Centre connection.

•The JetDirect is managed as an HP print server on the network by HP printer management software using TCP/IP as the network protocol.

•The Document Centre’s internal network interface and JetAdmin use port 9100 differently. The DC 4xx with ESS version 2.2.6 and later, contain bi-directional port 9100 capability but you cannot use JetAdmin to manage this feature.

Installation Procedure

1.The JetDirect 300X is shipped with the rear-panel DIP switches set in the down (default) position, for auto-configuration. This is sufficient for most installations. If manual configuration is required, switch the dip setting up to manual, ensure that the proper LAN frequency is set (10 Mhz or 100 Mhz), and that half-duplex is selected.

2.Connect the network cable to the JetDirect’s RJ-45 connector. Connect the JetDirect’s parallel port to the Document Centre’s parallel port using the cable described earlier. If only one network connection is available at the Document Centre location and it is not feasible to add another, a small hub or switch may be used to split the existing network connection: one port for the Document Centre’s internal network interface, and another for the JetDirect. In one example installation, the network drop to the Document Centre first goes to a Bay Networks 4-port 10/100 switch. The switch then connects to the network port on a Document Centre, and to the JetDirect. The JetDirect connects to the Document Centre parallel port.

3.If this is a new JetDirect, or if it is necessary to reprogram an existing JetDirect, for exmple, to change the IP address, you must run JetAdmin or WebJetAdmin. JetAdmin should run on a workstation that is on the same LAN subnet as the JetDirect you are programming. To reset/reprogram a JetDirect, power off the unit and hold down [Test] while powering up and continue to hold it for 15 seconds. This clears the configuration. Pressing [Test] once prints a configuration report.
