HP
JetDirect cards
.for UNIX
-
based systems
HP
JetDirect cards (P/Ns C2059T,
C2071T, and C2071S) for UNIX
-
based systems now are available.
These network peripheral interfaces
are designed to directly connect
Hewlett
-
Packard peripherals to
TCP/IP Ethernet networks with
HP
-
UX, SunOS, and SCO
UNIX
systems.
The supported peripherals include
the
HP
LaserJet 11, IID,
III,
IUD, and
IUSi printers and the
HP
DesignJet
plotter. These interfaces are the
newest in the
HP
JetDirect card
family.
Features and benefits
Peripheral location
-
Printers
and plotters can be located
anywhere on a network by
connecting them directly to the
network cable. They are no longer
confined to host system locations
because of serial or parallel cable
length limitations.
PNoomumnce
-
Performance is
maximized by
taking advantage of
faster network transmission
speeds, rather
than
being limited
by serial or parallel performance
bottlenecks associated with direct
system
YO connections and
external
printlplot server boxes.
For example, the increased
processing speed of the
HP LaserJet
mSi printer makes
the
HP
JetDirect interface 15
times faster
than
a typical parallel
port, depending on the speed and
configuration of the network
operating system.
Network managmt
-
The
new
HP
JetDirect cards are
compatible
with
standard simple
network management
protocol-
based network management
applications, such as
HP
Openview Interconnect
Manager.
Ease of use
-
An
easy
-
to
-
use
configuration utility
is
provided to
step you through the configura
-
tion process on the host spooler
system.
Diagnostics
-
The new
HP
JetDirect cards are compatible
with common
UNIX-based
systems
diagnostics.
They are also
shipped with advanced diagnostic
utilities for collecting network
statistics and peripheral
-
specific
status information.
A
test page can
be produced on the peripheral
that contains extensive configura
-
tion and troubleshooting infonna-
tion specific to the
HP
JetDirect
card.
Flexibility
-
Peripherals can be
set up to receive jobs from one
central master spooling system or
from multiple spooling systems.
Print and plot jobs
can
be sent
across network routers to
net-
worked printers and plotters.
Operating system support
-
The
operating systems supported by
the new
HP
JetDirect cards
include HP
-
UX 7.Xl8.X (version
depends on the
HP
9000 system),
SunOS 4.1.1 on Sun SPARC
systems only, and SCO
UNIX
Vl386 Release 3.2 Version
2.
Investment yrotection
-
The new
HP JetDirect cards can be used
with
a wide range of
HP
peripher
-
als, including
HP
LaserJet
11,
IID,
III, IIID, and IUSi printers and the
HP
DesignJet plotter.
This
allows
you to upgrade existing peripher
-
als in addition to putting new
peripherals on your
UNIX-based
system network.
