HP Designjet T920 ePrinter series - Manual (Page 39)

Add the printer to your network system
When the printer is configured for proper operation on your network, you can then add the printer on each
computer that will send print jobs directly to it. To add the printer to your system configuration, you must use
network printer installation software for your system. You are recommended to use the HP Start-Up Kit DVD
that came with your printer.
Client-server printing
After you have set up the printer, you will need to set up your network clients to access it. The procedures
depend on the available utilities for your particular clients and network operating system.
For more information, refer to the documentation and help supplied with your operating system.
UNIX or Linux systems
The printer supports operation with UNIX or Linux systems over a network. Use your system utilities to install
the printer. For more help, visit http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing .
Troubleshooting
IO Configuration page
The IO Configuration page provides comprehensive print server status. It is an important diagnostic tool,
especially if network communications are not available. For a description of messages that may appear on
the IO Configuration page, see the HP Jetdirect Print Servers Administrator’s Guide for your print server
model.
LEDs
The printer has status lights (LEDs) that indicate the link status and network activity.
● When the green light is on, the printer has successfully linked to the network.
● When the yellow light is blinking, there is network transmission activity.
Link troubleshooting
If the printer does not successfully connect to the network:
● Both LEDs will be off.
● LAN Error - Loss of Carrier will be indicated on the IO Configuration page.
If a link failure is indicated, try the following:
● Check cable connections.
● Manually configure the link setting to match the port configuration of the network hub or switch. For
manual configuration methods, see Link configuration methods on page 32 . Turn the printer off, then
on again, to re-initialize the setting.
● Print an IO Configuration page and check link settings.
