By attaching directly to a network, devices can be conveniently located near users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds. HP JetDirect internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible input/output (I/O) slot. HP JetDirect external print servers connect printers to the network by adapting the printer’s parallel port to a network port. Depending on the model, HP JetDirect external print servers can connect up to three printers to a 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. EN 1 Supported Print Servers Unless otherwise specified, the features described in this guide support the following HP JetDirect print servers with firmware version x.08.03 or later. ● HP JetDirect 600N/400N internal print servers ● HP JetDirect 500X/300X external print servers Supported Networks HP JetDirect print servers support a variety of network protocol suites, including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, DLC/LLC, and AppleTalk protocols.
