Printer and processing station networking5
The printer provides a single RJ-45 port for a network connection.
In order to meet Class B specifications, the use of shielded I/O cables is required. For optimal
performance, you are recommended to use Cat 5/5e or Cat 6 cabling and gigabit-capable local network
equipment.
A correct network setup is required to operate the printer, as all communication with printing and
management software happens through the network.
Connectivity and remote monitoring requirements
Your 3D printing solution requires a permanent Internet connection to the HP secure cloud.
