attach the printer directly to a server or a workstation and allows you to place the printer closer to the network users. If the printer is configured through an EIO network card, configure that card through the printer control-panel Configure device menu. HP Jetdirect print servers HP Jetdirect print servers (network cards) can be installed in one of the printer EIO slots on HP CLJ 4600 and 4650 models printers. The HP Color LaserJet 4610n printer can connect to a network by using the HP Jetdirect 175x external print server. These print servers support multiple network protocols and operating systems. HP Jetdirect print servers facilitate network management by allowing you to connect a printer directly to your network at any location. HP Jetdirect print servers also support the simple network management protocol (SNMP), which network managers can use for remote printer management and troubleshooting through HP Web Jetadmin software. NOTE A network administrator should install these cards and configure the network. Configure the card either through the printer control panel or by using HP Web Jetadmin software. NOTE See the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for information about which external devices or EIO network cards are supported. Available enhanced I/O interfaces HP Jetdirect print servers (network cards) provide software solutions for the following interfaces: ■ Novell NetWare ■ Microsoft® Windows® and Windows NT® networks ■ Apple Mac OS (LocalTalk) ■ UNIX® (HP-Ux and Solaris) ■ Linux (Red Hat and SuSE) ■ Internet printing For a summary of available network software solutions, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator's Guide, or visit HP Customer Care online at www.hp.com/support/net_printing. NetWare networks When using Novell NetWare products with an HP Jetdirect print server, Queue Server mode provides better printing performance than does Remote Printer mode. The HP Jetdirect print server supports Novell Directory Services (NDS) as well as bindery modes. For more information, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator's Guide. NOTE The HP Color LaserJet 4610n printer supports only Windows 2000 and Windows XP. For Windows 95, 98, Millenium Edition (Me), NT 4.0, 2000, and XP systems, use the printer installation utility for printer setup on a NetWare network. ENWW Connecting to a computer 63
