Connect to a network HP recommends that you use the HP software installer CD that comes with the device to set up the device using the network configurations. You are not required to install additional software if you use the installer. There are two possible network device and printing configurations: ● The device is connected directly to the network (direct mode or peer-to-peer printing). Each network user prints directly to the network address or hostname of the device. This network configuration is recommended for groups of 10 to 20 users or small offices. ● The device is connected directly to the network, and a shared print queue is configured on a network server (client-server printing). This shared print queue spools directly to the device by using a network port. This network configuration is recommended for larger workgroups of more than 30 users, and it allows the administrator the option to control driver settings on client computers. Connection requirements Information required during software setup Installation overview ● Requires a network connection on the device or an internal or external print server. ● The device network address or hostname. From the Home screen on the control panel, touch Network Address. ● Specify a device share name. (Optional) ● Hardware setup - plug the device directly into the network by using a minimum 26 AWG network cable. ● Insert the CD that came with the device and follow the installation steps for each client computer to enable printing. Use the following steps to connect the device to a network and to configure the network printing options. Configuring a shared print queue is optional, and is described in steps 9 and 10. Installation steps 1. Plug one end of a network cable into the Embedded LAN (RJ-45) interface port and plug the other end of the network cable into the network. 2. Turn the device on and wait for the initialization process to complete and for a network address or hostname to be assigned. From the Home screen on the control panel, touch Network Address to find the network address or hostname. Touch Print to print the information. NOTE: To manually assign a network address, follow the instructions in the note in step 7. 3. Insert the CD that came with the device. The software installer should start without assistance. If it does not, browse to the SETUP.EXE file in the root directory of the CD and double-click it. ENWW Connect to a network 21
