HP Jetdirect 635n IPv6/IPsec Print Server J7961A
Introduction to the accessories
PostScript upgrade
The PostScript upgrade enables a T790/T795 or T1300 to print the same file types that a T790 PS or T1300
PS can print. The PostScript upgrade can be plugged into the printer's USB host.
Spindle
With extra spindles, you can change rapidly from one paper type to another.
Jetdirect print server
Jetdirect print servers support extra connectivity and security options beyond those provided in the
standard Ethernet interface built into the printer.
External hard disk (T790 PS and T1300 series)
The external hard disk replaces the printer's internal hard disk as a repository of personal data (the job
queue, including temporary files, accounting and so on). The external hard disk can be removed and
stored in a secure place when the printer has been turned off.
You cannot use the external hard disk to share files between HP Designjets or to download files from
any computer to the printer.
For more information about the use of this accessory, see
Troubleshooting on page 149.
CAUTION: The external hard disk has been designed to be used with HP Designjets only. It may be
damaged if you attempt to connect it to other devices.
NOTE: The printer's USB device port is incompatible with the external hard disk. While the external
hard disk is connected, the USB device port is disabled, it is not recognized by your computer's plug &
play subsystem and you cannot send jobs from your computer to the USB port. However, the USB host
port still works, and you can print jobs from a USB flash drive. If you require a point-to-point connection
between your computer and printer, without network infrastructure, please use a standard Ethernet
cable and install the driver from the HP Start-up Kit DVD in network mode.
Installation
1. Attach the hard disk holder to the left leg of the stand using the adhesive patch on the holder
(press firmly).
