Note Connecting to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network o The connector of the unshielded twisted pair network cable plugs into the RJ-45 port. Connecting to a 10Base2 network o Attach one section of the ThinLAN (coaxial) cable to a BNC "T" connector. o Attach another ThinLAN cable section, or (if it is at the end of the network) a 50-ohm terminator, on the other side of the BNC "T" connector. o Plug the BNC "T" connector into the BNC port. Connecting to a LocalTalk network o Plug the end of the DIN-8 cable into the LocalTalk port. The printer can be connected to a LocalTalk network in addition to an Ethernet or 10Base2 network. If you use only the LocalTalk port, EIO 1 INITIALIZING appears every time you turn the printer on if you have an HP JetDirect internal print server installed in EIO port 1. The message should not interfere with normal printing through LocalTalk. If it does not clear within approximately five minutes, there is a problem with the print server or the network. To prevent the message from appearing during normal operation, connect a BNC "T" connector with two 50-ohm terminators to the BNC port. EN Connecting the printer to the network 77
