Product Description
The HP J7988G JetDirect EN1700 is an external network print server designed to bring network printing capabilities to printers that do not have built-in network interfaces. This device acts as a bridge, allowing a USB-enabled printer to be shared across a network via its 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. This is particularly useful for small offices or workgroups looking to utilize existing printers more efficiently without needing to purchase new network-ready models. The EN1700 features a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port for network connectivity, enabling it to be plugged directly into a router or switch. For connecting to the printer, it provides a USB 2.0 High-Speed port. This dual-interface design ensures broad compatibility with a wide array of printers that support USB connectivity, including many HP and non-HP models. The setup process is typically straightforward, involving connecting the device to the network and the printer, and then installing the necessary drivers or software on the computers that will access the printer. This print server enhances productivity by allowing multiple users on a network to send print jobs to a single printer. It supports remote printing, meaning users can send documents to the printer from their workstations without being physically connected. The compact and robust design of the HP J7988G makes it a practical and reliable addition to any office environment seeking to optimize its printing infrastructure.
