HP DesignJet ColorPro Series Network Guide 3
Network Printing Overview
A network is a system of computers and other equipment set up for sharing files, data and other resources such as printers and scanners. A LAN, or a local area network, in its smallest form may consist of two computers that can communicate with each other. A larger LAN may connect members of a workgroup, such as an accounting department where users have similar requirements for sharing data and resources. The HP DesignJet ColorPro Series printer may be shared on a network. It can be connected directly to a network using an HP JetDirect print server, or it can be attached to a PC that is connected on a network.
Supported Network Printer Connections
The HP DesignJet ColorPro Series printer supports the following network printer connections: HP JetDirect Print Server PC parallel port.
Printing through an HP JetDirect Print Server
In this configuration, the printer connects to the network via an HP JetDirect print server. This configuration provides better performance and flexibility in preparing a location for the printer. The HP DesignJet ColorPro GA printer comes with an internal HP JetDirect Print Server (part number J4100A). It is therefore recommended that the printer be shared on a network through the print server. Using the HP JetDirect print server, there are two basic network configurations: Client-Server printing and Peer-to-Peer printing. Client-Server printing is typically used in medium to large networks where dedicated computer servers are used to manage printing needs of many users. Client-server networks use network operating systems (NOS) such as Novell NetWare and Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0. Peer-to-Peer printing is more suitable for smaller networks. On peer-to-peer networks, users configure their Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 systems to print directly to the printer.

To obtain the latest printer firmware for the HP DesignJet ColorPro Series printer, please visit our web site at www.hp.com/go/ designjet.

Printing through a PC

In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port of a selected computer (the server) on the network and is shared out to the other computers (the clients). The server could be a Novell NetWare 3.12 or 4.11 server or a computer running Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0. Sharing the printer in this configuration is a low cost, easy way to share a printer because it requires no additional hardware or software. The HP DesignJet ColorPro Series printer can be shared over a network with this configuration. However, it is recommended only for a small workgroup where there is a small number of users or limited usage is low as the shared computer will be slowed down when many users print to its shared printer.

The HP DesignJet ColorPro GA Printer comes with an internal JetDirect Print Server preinstalled. However, if you have purchased the HP DesignJet ColorPro CAD Printer, you may purchase the internal JetDirect Print Server and install it yourself. For the list of supported JetDirect Print Servers, please refer to our web site at www.hp.com/go/designjet.
Installing the HP JetDirect Print Server Card
Step 1 Verify the Printer Works
1. 2. 3. 4. Turn on the printer. Press [MENU] repeatedly until SELF TEST MENU appears. Press [ITEM] repeatedly until PRINT DIAGNOSTIC PAGE appears. Press [SELECT] to print the Diagnostic Page. HP DesignJet ColorPro Series Network Guide 7
Step 2 Install the HP JetDirect Print Server Card in the Printer
Note: The HP JetDirect card contains electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity through electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD discharge, maintain frequent contact with any bare sheet metal surface on the printer. A grounding wrist strap (or similar device) is useful for this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all times. Avoid touching electronic components or circuit paths. 1. Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord. 2. Unscrew and remove the plate on the left of the printer.

3. Insert the card. Align the card with the guide rails in the printer. 4. Press the card into the slot until the card is firmly seated. 5. Tighten each thumbscrew a little at a time, alternating between each side until both screws are secure. 6. Connect the network cable to the card. 7. Connect the power cord and turn on the printer.

Connectors on Your Printer
HP DesignJet ColorPro Series Network Guide 8

Network type: Cable:

IEEE 802.3 Connect a twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector to the connector labelled 10-100 (RJ-45) on the printer.
Ethernet Connect a thin Ethernet coaxial cable to the BNC connector on the printer.
Configuring the JetDirect Print Server Using the Printers Front Panel
From the printers front panel, you can: Enable or disable network protocols (relevant to all networks). See page 10. Configure Apple EtherTalk Phase parameters (relevant only to AppleTalk networks using EtherTalk). See page 10. Configure TCP/IP parameters (relevant only to TCP/IP networks). See page 11. Configure Novell NetWare frame types (relevant only to Novell NetWare networks). See page 11. All these configuration tasks are done by choosing options in the MIO SETUP menu (see below). MIO (modular input/output) is the network interface.

The MIO SETUP Menu

To help you use the menu options referred to in the following tasks, the menu tree accessible from MIO SETUP is shown in the table below. So, to access a particular option, simply refer to the table. Note that the options available depend on the MIO card used. [Item] CFG NETWORK [Value] and effect when you press [Select] NO does not allow you to set following options YES enables you to set the IPX/SPX, DLC/LLC, TCP/IP and ETALK options ON enables you to access CFG IPX/SPX options OFF does not allow you to configure Novell ON enables DLC/LLC OFF disables DLC/LLC ON enables you to access CFG TCP/IP options OFF does not allow you to configure TCP/IP ON enables you to access CFG ETALK options OFF does not allow you to configure ETALK YES enables you to access FRAME options NO does not allow you to access FRAME options AUTO, EN_SNAP, EN_8022, EN_11, EN_8023 YES enables you to access BOOTP options NO does not allow you to access BOOTP options enables you to access byte and timeout options (see page 11) YES does not allow you to access byte and timeout NO

To Enable or Disable Network Protocols
By default, all supported protocols are enabled, the card switching automatically between them. For a reminder as to which protocols support which networks, see the table on page 5. To see how to access these options in the MIO SETUP menu, refer to the table above. Your current setting is retained even when you switch the printer off and on again. Protocol Option on Front Panel ETALK TCP/IP DLC/LLC IPX/SPX Comments When set to ON, EtherTalk is enabled. When set to ON, TCP/IP is enabled. When set to ON, DLC/LLC is enabled. When set to ON, the Novell Netware IPS/SPX protocol is enabled.

You can disable unused protocols by setting them to OFF from the front panel. Disabling unused protocols lets you: Reduce network traffic by eliminating broadcast messages from unused protocols Provide better control over who prints to the printer by eliminating users from other networks.
To Configure the Apple EtherTalk Phase Parameter
Phase Parameter in Front Panel ETALK PHASE Options 2 (default) 1
In order to be able to configure this parameter:
HP DesignJet ColorPro Series Network Guide 10
Configuring the JetDirect Print Server Using the Printers Front Panel The printers graphics language must be set to Auto (the default). The EtherTalk network protocol must be enabled (see above).
