To connect the printer to a HP Software RIP, refer to its User
Guide for detailed instructions.
To connect the printer to a third-party RIP, follow this procedure:
Step 1: Install the
VideoNet Card and Cable
1. Power off the computer you will be using to run the RIP.
2. Install the VideoNet printer interface card into an available
PCI expansion slot.
3. Connect the printer to the interface card.
4. Connect the user workstation(s) to the RIP.
You can connect your workstation to the RIP via a local area
network or directly using a single cable.
• To connect to the print server via a network hub, use a
standard straight-through Category 5, 10/100Base-T
cable.
