HP JetDirect Server Setup
Purpose
Sometimes it is necessary to connect a Document Centre to a network using the HP
JetDirect external print server. This is an alternative means of connectivity, since the
Document Centre already has an integrated network interface.
The Document Centre 4XX-series features bi-directional port 9100 printing, but functions
slightly different from the JetDirect, and may not work with certain print managers such as
JetAdmin.
Situations that dictate the need for JetDirect connection are generally large installations
where printer manager applications such as HP JetAdmin or WebJetAdmin are used with
existing printers. These applications may be limited in the types of network interfaces
they can control or may be Unix or mainframe-based.
Recommendation
The HP Jet Direct print server model 300X was evaluated and works well with the 400
series Document Centres. This server connects to the Document Centre via a parallel
cable. We recommend you use a cable with a maximum distance of no more than 10 ft.
For further detail, see step 2 in the installation procedure later in this document. The
parallel printer cable is a DB 25 male to Micro Centronics 36 pin male. Contact one of the
following manufacturers to obtain the correct cable:

The following steps describe the complete printer setup in Microsoft Windows NT4, which
is similar for other versions of the Windows operating system. If you are using a different
operating system, such as Unix, refer to the JetAdmin guide for instructions. We assume
you have installed the JetAdmin program from CDROM or Internet download.
1. To start the JetAdmin program, select [Start>Programs>HP JetAdmin Utilities>HP
JetAdmin].
2. In the JetAdmin window, select [Device>New]. This detects the MAC address(es) of
unconfigured HP printers or interfaces. The MAC address of the JetDirect you wish to
configure should be in this list.
NOTE: If the network uses DHCP to supply IP addresses, the JetDirect may
automatically enable this feature and allow DHCP to supply the address. If this
occurs, modify the existing entry.
3. Select the MAC address for your JetDirect and select [Configure].
4. Enter a description (the desired port name, such as xrxport). Select [Next].
5. Select [Static] instead of the DHCP default. Manually specify TCP/IP configuration.
Example:
TCP/IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
13.234.167.26
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 13.234.167.1
Leave TCP/IP Idle Timeout (seconds) set at 90 (default).
Select [Next].
4. Configure the JetDirect/EX settings as follows:
ꢀ

Parallel Mode Speed of Connection: select [Centronics]
Parallel Handshaking Communication protocol: select [Busy Only]
Error Behavior (what to do when an error occurs): select [Dump then Reboot]
Status Page Language (type of page to print): select [Auto Sense]
Select [Finish].
5. To save this device configuration, select [OK]. The JetDirect network port is now
configured.
The following steps configure a print driver.
1. In Windows, select [Start>Settings>Printers]. Double-click [Add Printer].
2. Select [My Computer] then [Next].
3. Select [Add Port>lpr port>New Port].
NOTE: Alternatively, you may select HP Jet Direct Port (if the choice is available),
which launches the HP Add Printer wizard.
4. Enter the name or address of the HP Jet Direct providing lp, for example:
13.234.167.26.
Enter the Name of printer or print queue on that server: RAW
Select [OK].
Select [Close].
Select [Next].
5. From the list of Manufacturers, scroll down and select [Xerox]. From the list of
printers, scroll down and select your printer, for example: Xerox DC 45x/46x/47x/48x
PS3.
Select [Next].
6. You may choose to keep the existing driver, if given the choice. Select [Next].
7. Rename the printer, if desired. Select [Next].
8. Select [Shared] or [Not shared]. Select [Next].
9. To print a test page, select [Yes]. Select [Finish].
The printer setup is complete.
