Connect the printer to the network
To connect the printer to the network, use one of the following methods:
•
Connect the printer using the Ethernet port (requires an SP Series Card Printer with Built-in Ethernet)
•
Connect the printer using the USB port and a wired print server (the HP Jetdirect 175x, revision C, has been
tested in this usage)
•
Connect the printer using the USB port and a wireless print server (the HP Jetdirect 380x, revision A. has
been tested in this usage)
On operating systems with permissions, such as Windows XP, make sure you are logged in as the Administrator
during setup. If networking is set up on the computer, log into the network.
