Plan Your Computer And Network Environment; Important Considerations - HP Jet Fusion 4200 Product Documentation Site Preparation Manual

Plan your computer and network environment

You are responsible for ensuring that your computer and network environment fulfils the connectivity
requirements for HP Cloud. This chapter provides you an overview on what it implies to connect to HP Cloud and
the procedure you must follow to perform a check before installation.
If you already own an HP 3D printer, your computers, HP 3D Center account, and network may be ready, but HP
recommends reading this chapter anyway. You must also make sure you are running the latest version of HP
SmartStream 3D Command Center in all your machines.
NOTE: Your local network configuration may require that a member of your IT department with the required
administrator permissions performs all the procedures described in this chapter, including the test described at
the end of it as well as the steps on the day of installation. This is to ensure that all instances of the software are
up and running and properly connected to the HP Cloud and to the printer. Make sure they are available on the
agreed date of printer installation. If you require further help, contact your service representative, who can
connect you to a HP network specialist.
