Xerox HP JetDirect 300X Manuals

dc00cc0210 Customer Support Page 1 HP JetDirect Server Setup Purpose Sometimes it is necessary to connect a Document Centre to a network using the HP JetDirect external print server. This is an alternative means of connectivity, since the Document Centre already has an integrated network interface. The Document Centre 4XX-series features bi-directional port 9100 printing, but functions slightly different from the JetDirect, and may not work with certain print managers such as JetAdmin. Situations that dictate the need for JetDirect connection are generally large installations where printer manager applications such as HP JetAdmin or WebJetAdmin are used with existing printers. These applications may be limited in the types of network interfaces they can control or may be Unix or mainframe-based. Recommendation The HP Jet Direct print server model 300X was evaluated and works well with the 400 series Document Centres. This server connects to the Document Centre via a parallel cable. We recommend you use a cable with a maximum distance of no more than 10 ft. For further detail, see step 2 in the installation procedure later in this document. The parallel printer cable is a DB 25 male to Micro Centronics 36 pin male. Contact one of the following manufacturers to obtain the correct cable: ƒ Xerox ƒ Belkin Components ƒ CompUSA NOTE: Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that the parallel port is enabled on the Document Centre.
