In order to meet Class A limits, the use of shielded I/O cables is required. NOTE: The speed of any network connection depends on all components used in the network, which can include network interface cards, routers, switches and cables. If any one of these components cannot operate at high speed, you will have a low-speed connection. The speed of your network connection can also be affected by the total amount of traffic from other devices on the network. Connect the printer to your network The printer is able to configure itself automatically for most networks, in a similar way to any computer in the same network. The first time you connect it to a network, this process may take a few minutes. Once the printer has a working network configuration, you can check its network address from the front panel: press , then . Network configuration For more details about the current network configuration, go to the front panel and press , then , then Connectivity > Network connectivity > Gigabit Ethernet > Modify configuration; or, for Jetdirect, Connectivity > Network connectivity > Jetdirect EIO > Modify configuration. From here it is possible, though not normally necessary, to change the settings manually; this can also be done remotely using the Embedded Web Server or the HP DesignJet Utility. TIP: You may find it helpful to print out the full printer network configuration on paper. This can be done from the front panel: press , then , then Internal prints > Service information prints > Print connectivity config. If you do not print out the full network configuration, consider making a note of the printer's IP address and network name. If you accidentally misconfigure the printer's network settings, you can restore the network settings to their factory values from the front panel: press , then , then Connectivity > Network connectivity > Gigabit Ethernet > Restore factory settings; or, for Jetdirect, Connectivity > Network connectivity > Jetdirect EIO > Restore factory settings. Then you must restart the printer. This automatically provides a working network configuration for most networks. The printer's other settings remain unchanged. 14 Chapter 2 Installing the software ENWW
