The HP JetDirect 300X provides connectivity to 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks. The HP JetDirect 170X provides connectivity to 10Base-T networks. The HP JetDirect EX Plus provides connectivity to 10Base-T and 10Base2 networks. The HP JetDirect three-port print servers have three high-speed, bidirectional parallel ports (IEEE 1284) that support multiple network operating systems (NOSs). Each port operates independently which, in effect, gives you three print servers in one (Figure 1.2).

Product Overview 1 Switches (HP JetDirect 300X and 500X) The HP JetDirect 300Xand 500X Print Servers have configuration switches that should be used only if the print server fails to link on the network. The factory-default setting of all 3 switches down will suit most installations. These switches only apply to 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks only. When the first switch is set to Auto, the other two switch settings are ignored; the server auto-negotiates the link speed and duplex settin

Hardware 2 Installation 8. Plug the power module into the wall outlet ➐ . Since there is no power switch, the print server is switched on after you plug it in. 9. Check the LEDs on the front of print server. The Status LED should be green—either steady or blinking. If the internal self-test failed, the Activity LED will be on and the Status LED will be off. For troubleshooting information, see the Troubleshooting chapter in the software guide shipped with your print server. 10. Wait about

If you want to change the detected printer language, use the LEDs and Test button to select a PDL for the configuration page. When you hold down the Test button for three seconds, the LEDs begin to cycle through four configurations, as outlined in the following table. Release the Test button when you get the right PDLs, and the configuration page will be printed. The Status And the Activity For PDL... LED is... LED is...
