Once you have configured these parameters using the control panel, you still need to install the appropriate print server software to complete the configuration process. Refer to your HP JetDirect software installation guide for instructions. Supported Network Protocols When you first install the card from the factory, all supported network protocols are enabled (or turned on) when you turn the printer on. The card provides automatic network switching between network protocols for printers that do not support this function. If you reconfigure the card-for example, you disable a network protocol-your configuration is saved on the card and is maintained even after the printer is turned off. If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively transmit even when the protocol is not in use on the network. This may slightly increase network traffic. To eliminate unnecessary traffic from unused protocols, you can set the card to operate with a single network protocol. When you enable a single network protocol, other protocols are turned off. From the printer control panel you can configure these network protocols: • AUTO: All supported network protocols are active. Automatic network switching is performed by the card. This is the default setting. • NOVELL: Enable the Novell NetWare IPS/SPX network protocol and disable all other network protocols. • DLC/LLC: Enable the DLC/LLC network protocol (IBM LAN Server, MS LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT) and disable all other network protocols. • TCP/IP: Enable the TCP/IP network protocol and disable all other network protocols. • ETALK (Ethernet cards only): Enable the EtherTalk network protocol and disable all other network protocols. NOTE EtherTalk is supported on the HP DesignJet 650C, Series 700, Series 2500CP, and Series 3500CP printers with PostScript modules installed. 4-2 Control Panel for Large-Format Printers

Control Panel for Large-Format Printers
Once you have configured these parameters using the control panel,
you still need to install the appropriate print server software to
complete the configuration process. Refer to your HP JetDirect
software installation guide for instructions.
Supported Network Protocols
When you first install the card from the factory, all supported
network protocols are enabled (or turned on) when you turn the
printer on. The card provides automatic network switching between
network protocols for printers that do not support this function.
If you reconfigure the card
—
for example, you disable a network
protocol
—
your configuration is saved on the card and is maintained
even after the printer is turned off.
If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively transmit
even when the protocol is not in use on the network. This may
slightly increase network traffic. To eliminate unnecessary traffic
from unused protocols, you can set the card to operate with a single
network protocol. When you enable a single network protocol,
other protocols are turned off.
From the printer control panel you can configure these network
protocols:
•
AUTO:
All supported network protocols are active. Automatic
network switching is performed by the card. This is the
default setting.
•
NOVELL:
Enable the Novell NetWare IPS/SPX network
protocol and disable all other network protocols.
•
DLC/LLC:
Enable the DLC/LLC network protocol (IBM LAN
Server, MS LAN Manager, Windows for Workgroups,
Windows NT) and disable all other network protocols.
•
TCP/IP:
Enable the TCP/IP network protocol and disable all
other network protocols.
•
ETALK (Ethernet cards only):
Enable the EtherTalk
network protocol and disable all other network protocols.
NOTE
EtherTalk is supported on the HP DesignJet 650C,
Series 700, Series 2500CP, and Series 3500CP
printers with PostScript modules installed.
