type of image, the number of pages, the number of copies, the paper type and size, the amount of each color of ink used and various other attributes of the job. Accounting data are also provided on scan and copy jobs. You can download an Excel template from HP's Web site (http://www.hp.com/go/designjet/accounting/) that will enable you to display the XML data more readably in the form of a spreadsheet. Analysis of the accounting data will enable you to bill customers precisely and flexibly for the use of your printer. You can, for instance: ● Bill each customer for the total amount of ink and paper used by that customer over a particular period. ● Bill each customer separately per job. ● Bill each customer separately for each project, broken down by job. Connectivity and software instructions Connection method Your printer can be connected in the following way. Connection type Gigabit Ethernet Speed Fast; varies according to network traffic Maximum cable length Long (100 m=328 ft) Other factors Requires extra equipment (switches) NOTE: The speed of any network connection depends on all the components that are used in the network, which can include network interface cards, hubs, routers, switches, and cables. If any one of these components cannot operate at high speed, you will have a low-speed connection. To get the expected performance from your printer, you should use equipment that supports 1000TX Full Gigabit. The speed of your network connection can also be affected by the total amount of traffic from other devices on the network. Connect the printer to your network The printer is able to configure itself automatically for most networks, in a similar way to any computer in the same network. The first time you connect it to a network, this process may take a few minutes. If necessary, see Advanced network configuration on page 31. Once the printer has a working network configuration, you can check its network address from the front panel: press . Network configuration For more details about the current network configuration, go to the front panel and press , then Connectivity > Network connectivity > Gigabit Ethernet > Modify configuration. From here it is possible, though not normally necessary, to change the settings manually; this can also be done remotely using the Embedded Web Server. TIP: You may find it helpful to print out the full printer network configuration on paper. This can be done from the front panel: press , then Internal prints > Service information prints > Print connectivity configuration. If you do not print out the full network configuration, consider making a note of the printer's IP address and network name. ENWW Connectivity and software instructions 29
