Introduction 1

1Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the HP JetDirect 70X Home Print Server!

You will find it to be an easy and flexible way to share a printer

among all the PCs in your home.

This guide provides information about installing and operating the

HP JetDirect 70X.

While using this manual, if you encounter some new or unfamiliar

terms, see the Terms section at the end of this chapter.

What’s a Home Print Server?

A home print server is an accessory that allows every PC in your

home to share the same printer, using your existing home phoneline

network.

A home phoneline network allows telephone and network activity

to take place at the same time. With one phone line, you can make

telephone calls or connect to the Internet, even while you are

printing.

The Need for Home Networking

Networks in businesses allow PCs to share printers and other

devices. However, for the home, a network has usually been too

costly and inconvenient to install.

In a non-networked home with multiple PCs, each PC usually has

a printer connected directly to it.

Sometimes there is only one quality laser or color inkjet printer.

Sometimes there is both a laser printer and a color inkjet printer.

In either case, there is no easy way for family members to use all

the printers.

Printer Sharing with an HP JetDirect 70X

When you use an HP JetDirect 70X Home Print Server, there are

several advantages:

• You can connect the HP JetDirect 70X to any phone jack,

regardless of its location in your home. The phone jack must be

on the same phone line as the PCs in the network.

• Only the PC that has the file to be printed, the home print server,

and the printer, need to be turned on.

• Scanning and faxing functions of HP All-in-One products are

available to networked PCs.

The following illustrates how you might use a home print server to

share a printer in your home.

All of the PCs connected to the phone line in this home can now

share the printer in the home office.

Different Setups are Possible

If your home has only one telephone line, the same line is used for

voice phone calls, connecting to the Internet, and networking PCs

over the home phoneline network.

If your home has two telephone lines, you must connect the HP

JetDirect 70X to the same telephone line used by the home

phoneline network.

Introduction 3

It is also possible to connect your PCs and HP JetDirect 70X

together independent of your home telephone wiring, using

standard telephone cables. This is useful in small offices, where

each desk might have multiple independent telephone lines and

might not have a suitable arrangement for connection over one

telephone line.
