Section 1 – Printing Basics
Network-Connect
In this configuration, the printer connects to the network via direct attachment to an external
print server such as an HP JetDirect EX Plus, 150X, or EX Plus3. This configuration provides
increased performance, location-flexibility and better printer status information.
As shown in the table below, newer versions of HP JetDirect EX Plus, 150X, and EX Plus3 print
servers provide optimum printer-related status messages. If you have an older print server, you
may want to upgrade the firmware (flash memory). To determine the firmware version and
upgrade information for your HP JetDirect EX Plus and EX Plus3 print server, refer to your HP
JetDirect Software Installation guide. The HP JetDirect 150X was not designed to provide this
upgrade capability.
