EN Connecting the printer to the network 77
Connecting to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX
network
o The connector of the unshielded twisted pair network cable plugs
into the RJ-45 port.
Connecting to a 10Base2 network
o Attach one section of the ThinLAN (coaxial) cable to a BNC “T”
connector.
o Attach another ThinLAN cable section, or (if it is at the end of the
network) a 50-ohm terminator, on the other side of the BNC “T”
connector.
o Plug the BNC “T” connector into the BNC port.
Connecting to a LocalTalk network
o Plug the end of the DIN-8 cable into the LocalTalk port.
Note The printer can be connected to a LocalTalk network in addition to an
Ethernet or 10Base2 network.
If you use only the LocalTalk port, EIO 1 INITIALIZING appears every
time you turn the printer on if you have an HP JetDirect internal print
server installed in EIO port 1. The message should not interfere with
normal printing through LocalTalk. If it does not clear within
approximately five minutes, there is a problem with the print server or
the network. To prevent the message from appearing during normal
operation, connect a BNC “T” connector with two 50-ohm terminators
to the BNC port.
