Enhanced I/O (EIO) configuration (HP color LaserJet 3700 series
printer only)
This printer comes equipped with one enhanced input/output (EIO) slot. This slot holds
compatible external devices, such as the HP Jetdirect print server network cards or other
devices.
EIO network cards can maximize printer performance when printing from a network. In
addition, they provide the ability to place the printer anywhere on a network. This eliminates
the need to attach the printer directly to a server or to a workstation, and allows you to place
the printer closer to the network users.
If the printer is configured through an EIO network card, configure that card through the
control panel Configure device menu.
HP Jetdirect print servers
An HP Jetdirect print server (network card) can be installed in the printer EIO slot. These
print server cards support multiple network protocols and operating systems. HP Jetdirect
print servers facilitate network management, allowing you to connect a printer directly to your
network at any location. HP Jetdirect print servers also support Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), which provides network managers with remote printer
management and troubleshooting through HP Web Jetadmin software.
NOTE
Installation of these cards and network configuration should be performed by a network
administrator. Configure the card either through the control panel, the printer installation
software, or with HP Web Jetadmin software.
NOTE
See to the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for information on which external devices
or EIO network cards are supported.
