Connecting to a network or a computer
To connect to a network
1. Connect the network cable to the printer.
2. Find the IP address. On the control panel, press Menu. Select INFORMATION, and then select
PRINT CONFIGURATION. The IP address is on the embedded Jetdirect page, under “TCP/IP”.
NOTE: You might need to assign an IP address depending on the type of network that
is installed.
3. Configure an IP address (if necessary). On the control panel, press Menu. Select CONFIGURE
DEVICE, select I/O, and then select EMBEDDED JETDIRECT. Select TCP/IP, select CONFIG
METHOD, select MANUAL, and then select MANUAL SETTINGS. Use the control-panel
buttons to specify the IP address.
4. Prepare for software installation. Quit all of the programs (including terminate-and-stay resident
[TSR], antivirus, and firewall programs) on the print server or on each computer that will use the
printer.
5. Install the software. Insert the CD that came with the printer, and then click Install Printer on the
welcome screen. (If the welcome screen does not appear, click Start, and then click Run. Type
X:SETUP, replace X with the CD-ROM drive letter, and then click OK.)
6. Follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted, select Wired Networking. The installer shows
available printers. Select the appropriate IP address.
7. On the Installation Type screen select Full Installation to install the most common drivers and
software, select Basic Installation to install the minimum set of drivers and software
(recommended), or select Custom Installation.
NOTE: See the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrators Guide for more information. You
can find this guide on the printer CD.
To use Windows with a direct connection (USB)
1. Install the software from the CD before connecting the cable to the printer.
2. On the welcome screen, click Install Printer. The Setup Wizard appears.
NOTE: If the welcome screen does not appear, click Start, and then click Run. Type
X:SETUP, replace X with the CD-ROM drive letter, and then click OK.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted, connect a USB cable between the printer
and the computer.
NOTE: HP does not recommend using USB hubs. Use a USB cable that is no longer
than 2 meters (6.5 feet).
4. Click Finish. If prompted, restart the computer.

correctly installed.
