DesignJet T900 and T1500 Printer Series - User guide

Add the printer to your network system
When the printer is congured 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 conguration, 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 Conguration page
The IO Conguration 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 Conguration 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 o.
●
LAN Error - Loss of Carrier will be indicated on the IO Conguration page.
If a link failure is indicated, try the following:
●
Check cable connections.
●
Manually congure the link setting to match the port conguration of the network hub or switch. For
manual conguration methods, see Link conguration methods on page 30. Turn the printer o, then
on again, to re-initialize the setting.
●
Print an IO Conguration page and check link settings.
