1 Introduction HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are network interface cards for HP Enhanced Input/Output (EIO) printers and MFP (multifunction peripheral) products. With an HP Jetdirect print server, you can connect and share your printer anywhere on your network and print at network speeds. HP Jetdirect EIO print servers support connection to Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3/802.3u 10/100Base-TX) networks. The print server provides a single RJ-45 connector port for a network connection using an unshielded, twisted-pair network cable. See Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 HP Jetdirect EIO Print Server When connected and powered on, the print server autonegotiates with your network to operate with a link speed of either 10 or 100 Mbps, and to communicate using full- or half-duplex mode. However, you can manually configure the link using the printer control panel, or other configuration tools once network communications is established. A typical network using an HP Jetdirect EIO print server is illustrated in Figure 1-2. ENWW Introduction 6

Introduction
HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are network interface cards
for HP Enhanced Input/Output (EIO) printers and MFP
(multifunction peripheral) products. With an HP Jetdirect print
server, you can connect and share your printer anywhere on your
network and print at network speeds.
HP Jetdirect EIO print servers support connection to Fast Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3/802.3u 10/100Base-TX) networks.
The print server
provides a single RJ-45 connector port for a network connection
using an unshielded, twisted-pair network cable.
See Figure 1-1.

When connected and powered on, the print server autonegotiates
with your network to operate with a link speed of either 10 or 100
Mbps, and to communicate using full- or half-duplex mode.
However, you can manually configure the link using the printer
control panel, or other configuration tools once network
communications is established.
A typical network using an HP Jetdirect EIO print server is
illustrated in Figure 1-2.
