HP Designjet T3500 Production eMFP - Manual (Page 45)

Introduction
The printer provides a single RJ-45 connector port for a network connection. In order to meet Class B limits,
the use of shielded I/O cables is required.
The embedded Jetdirect print server supports connection to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet and 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet compliant networks. When connected
and powered on, the printer auto-negotiates with your network to operate with a link speed of 10, 100, or
1000 Mbps, and to communicate using full- or half-duplex mode. However, you can manually configure the
link using the printer's front panel, or through other configuration tools once network communication is
established.
The printer can support multiple network protocols simultaneously, including TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6. For
security, it includes features to control IP traffic to and from the printer and supports configuration of IP
Security (IPsec) protocols.
Verify correct operation
1. Print an IO Configuration page to check for status messages.
2. In the upper section of the IO Configuration page, look for the status message I/O Card Ready.
3. If I/O Card Ready appears, the print server is operating properly. Proceed to the next section.
If a message other than I/O Card Ready appears, try the following:
a. Turn the printer off and then on again to re-initialize the print server.
b. Check that the status indicator lights (LEDs) are providing proper status.
NOTE: See Troubleshooting on page 37 for link configuration and troubleshooting information.
See the HP Jetdirect Print Servers Administrator’s Guide for your print server model to interpret and
troubleshoot other messages.
Preconfigure network settings if required
If your network requires that you configure network settings before you add the printer to your network
systems, you can do so now.
However, in most cases, you can skip this section. Instead, you can proceed directly to the next section to
install the printer on your network computer systems. The network installation software will allow you to
configure basic network settings and add the printer to your system configuration.
Tools for preconfiguration
The following tools can be used to preconfigure your network settings.
● The front panel
● The Embedded Web Server
● You can use an advanced configuration method, such as BootP, DHCP, Telnet, or the arp and ping
commands. For instructions, see the HP Jetdirect Print Servers Administrator’s Guide for your print
server model.
