Step 13 Connect Printer Cables For printers equipped with an optional HP JetDirect 600N Print Server, a twisted-pair cable network connection is provided through a 10/100Base-TX (RJ-45) connector. Connection to an Apple LocalTalk network is available through the printer’s LocalTalk port.
Connecting Parallel Cable To ensure reliability, use an IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel cable. (These cables are clearly marked with “IEEE-1284.”) Only IEEE-1284 cables support all of the printer’s advanced features. 1 1 Make sure the printer and your computer are turned off. 2 Connect the parallel cable to the printer parallel port. Press the locking release levers in while connecting the cable. Note The cable should install easily. If installation is difficult, check the cable orientation.
Connecting to Apple LocalTalk Network Use the LocalTalk port to connect to an Apple LocalTalk network. CAUTION Make sure the printer is turned off before connecting to the LocalTalk port. LocalTalk Interface Cable Connection EN ● Carefully check the orientation of the pins on the LocalTalk cable with the LocalTalk port. ● Connect the cable to the port. ● Connect the other end of the cable to the proper connector on the computer.
Connecting to Ethernet 10/100Base-TX Network Use the RJ-45 port to connect the printer to an Ethernet 10/100BaseTX network. CAUTION Make sure the printer is turned off before connecting to the RJ-45 port. Ethernet 10/100Base-TX Network Interface Cable Connection 22 ● Connect a twisted-pair network cable to the RJ-45 port on the HP JetDirect 600N Print Server. ● Connect the other end of the cable to the network.
Step 14 Install Printing Software The printer comes with printing software on a compact disc. The printer drivers on this compact disc must be installed to take full advantage of the printer features. If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, but you have access to one, you can copy the printing software from the compact disc onto diskettes for installation on your computer. If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, a diskette is provided with the basic printer drivers.
Installing Windows Printing Software (CD) For Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 1 Close all running applications. 2 Insert the compact disc into the CD-ROM drive. (Depending on the computer configuration, the installation program may automatically start.) 3 Click Start. 4 Click Run. 5 Type D:\SETUP (or the appropriate drive directory letter) in the command line box and click OK. 6 Follow the instructions on the computer screen. For Windows 3.1x and Windows 3.11* 1 Close all running applications.
Installing Macintosh Printing Software EN 1 Quit all open applications. 2 Insert the compact disc into the CD-ROM drive. 3 Double-click the Installer icon and follow the instructions on the screen. 4 Open the Chooser from the Apple menu. 5 Click the Apple LaserWriter icon. If the icon is not there, contact your Macintosh dealer. 6 If you are on a network with multiple zones, select the zone in the AppleTalk Zones box where the printer is located.
Step 15 Verify Printer Setup The easiest way to verify that the installation has been completed successfully is to print a document from a software application. 1 Open a software application of your choice and open or create a simple document. 2 Make sure the correct printer name appears. 3 Print the document. If the document prints, installation is complete. If nothing prints or if the document does not print correctly, see the problem solving chapter in the printer user guide.
