Introducing The Hp Jetdirect Print Server; Supported Print Servers - HP 635n - JetDirect IPv6/IPsec Print Server Administrator's Manual

1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print
Server
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By
attaching a device directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with
multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at
network speeds.
HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible enhanced
input/output (EIO) slot. HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network by
adapting the printer's USB port to the network.
When connected through a wireless connection to your network, an HP Jetdirect wireless print server
provides similar printing services as Jetdirect print servers connected by network cables.
NOTE
Jetdirect print servers and not a separate computer running print server software.
