Host Computer Interface Installation and Configuration
You can get more information about HP’s compliance with the IEEE 1284 Standard from
the HP FIRST fax retrieval service at 1-800-333-1917 in the USA and Canada. Ask for
document number 1951. The same document is also available by ftp from:
•
This chapter explains how to configure the D640 as a device on the HP9000 (HP-UX) and
HP3000 (MPE/iX) systems.
We assume you have already installed the necessary hard-
ware interface in the host computer;
installation instructions for such interfaces are
beyond the scope of this chapter.
Please refer to the manuals that came with your host sys-
tem.
Network connection via JetDirect EX is best
The JetDirect EX interface connects the parallel port to a Local Area Network.
This is the
“best” method of connecting your printer to your host systems.
With the printer on the
network, it is available to more host systems.
If you need to limit access to the printer it is
possible to do so by defining the systems that are allowed to connect to the JetDirect EX
interface.
To operate properly, the HP JetDirect EX interface must be initialized with network con-
figuration data, such as a valid IP (Internet Protocol) address.
The HP JetDirect EX inter-
face obtains its configuration data from a network server using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the interface is powered on.
The network server can be a PC, MPE/iX, or HP-UX (or other UNIX host).
•
The configuration software for PC is supplied with the JetDirect EX interface.
•
The configuration software for HP-UX, SunOS, and Solaris can be ordered as part
number HP J2559C, or it can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/cposupport/
cpoindex1.html.
•
For MPE/iX release 5.5, network printing is supported by the operating system and by
third party products.
You may want to investigate the additional capabilities of the
products offered by third parties.
For MPE/iX releases prior to 5.5, the operating sys-
tem does not support network spooling; you will need software from a third party
vendor.
Older JetDirect EX models (J2382B or J2383B)
We do not recommend using the older JetDirect EX models. Compatibility cannot be
guaranteed with the J2382 or 83B JetDirect EX.
Newer JetDirect EX models (J2591A, J2593A, and J2594A)
The newer JetDirect EX models are certified for use with the D640 printer.
