Connecting to a Network.

The printer supports up to four different cables: IEEE 1284 parallel, (Figure
B-5, callout 1), BNC (ThinLAN) (Figure B-5, callout 2), 10Base-T (RJ-45)
(Figure B-5, callout 3), and DIN-8 (LocalTalk) (Figure B-5, callout 4). Select
the appropriate interface cable from those shown below for the system and
connect the cable or cables to the printer.

I/O Connector Locations

The cable used to connect the printer to the network, a BNC “T” connector,
and a 50 Ohm terminator are not provided with the printer. They must be
purchased separately.

N o t e

You may attach either a ThinLAN cable or a 10Base-T cable, but not both at
the same time.

BNC Interface

Attach one section of the ThinLAN cable to one side of the BNC “T”
connector. Attach another ThinLAN cable section or a 50 Ohm terminator
to the other side. If you are attaching the printer to the end of your network
you must connect a 50 Ohm terminator.

10Base-T Interface

Plug the connector of the twisted-pair network cable into the 10Base-T jack
(RJ-45) on the HP JetDirect card. The other end of the cable should then be
attached to a twisted-pair hub/concentrator.
