Introduction

In order to get the most out of the HP Designjet copier cc800ps, it is recommended that the system be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN). Two connections are required: One for the standard HP Jetdirect 615n print server included in the printing subsystem, to print from a user's PC or Mac. The second connection is to retrieve the scanned data from the Scan-to-File operation included in the system. This connection is physically placed in the front panel touch screen. The D:\Images folder has to be shared in the LAN in order to be able to retrieve the scanned data files from a user's PC or Mac.

NOTE: These instructions are for a brand new installation. If the network installation has previously been attempted and problems occurred, use the recovery CD to restore factory defaults before continuing.

Network installation steps

It is recommended that a standard keyboard be connected to the cc800ps Windows 2000 operating system to complete the network install, however; the Windows 2000 operating system does come with an on-screen keyboard if a standard keyboard connection cannot be done.

1. Turn the touch-screen system off using the power switch located on the back of the monitor (next to the power cable). If a standard keyboard will be used, continue with step 2, if the on-screen keyboard will be used, continue with step 4.
2. Go to the back of the touch-screen monitor and remove the panel covering the Win 2000 OS ports using a small Phillips screwdriver. This provides access to the PS/2 keyboard port, shown in figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Panel covering the PS/2 port

3. Install the keyboard into the PS/2 port as shown below in figure 2.

Figure 2: PS/2 port connection

4. Plug the network cable into the RJ45 connector as shown in figure 3.

Figure 3: RJ45 network connection

5. Ensure the network cable (CAT5) is also connected to the networks Ethernet hub.

NOTE: USB network connectivity is NOT supported.

6. Turn the touch-screen monitor (system) on.
7. After system initialization the screen shown in figure 4 below will typically be displayed.

Figure 4: Main startup screen

8. Click on the Setup tab and then click on Exit. The main Windows 2000 Desktop will now appear.
9. Using the wand on the Windows 2000 Start menu, choose Start, Setting, Network, Dial-up Connections.

Figure 5: Windows 2000 start menu

10. From the Network and Dial-up Connections, the network interfaces can be viewed.

Figure 6: Network and Dial-up Connections screen



Note the status of the connection:

• If the status is grayed out, it has been disabled from the Device Manager
• If a red X appears over the icon, the adapter is not connected to the live network or the connection has otherwise been broken.
• If the Status is Enabled, the PC sees the active network.

NOTE: The local area connection will have certain incremental numbers assigned to them, depending on how many times a local area connection has been installed in Network and Dial-up Connections, and which connection is installed first.

11. If there is more than one local area connection, verify the correct local area connection that is to be used by clicking the icon once and viewing the description in the left side of the window.
12. View and configure the adapter configuration by selecting (highlighting) the appropriate Local area connection using the wand.
13. Select File, then Properties from the Local area connections main menu.
14. The Local Area Connection Properties window will now appear.

15. In order to communicate on the network, verify the connection has the following protocols and services listed and checked:
• Client for Microsoft Networks
• File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
• Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

If Client for Microsoft Networks is not included, others may be able to see this machine on the network, but this machine will not be able to see other devices and cannot browse the network.

If File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is not included, no files can be shared across the network.

If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not included, there will be no connectivity to the network.

NOTE: If any of these services are missing, use the recovery CD to change network settings back to default settings and installed services, which include the settings in figure 7. Recovery CD instructions are listed at the end of this document.

16. Verify that TCP/IP is configured properly, highlight Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click on Properties.
17. By default in Windows 2000, TCP/IP will be configured for DHCP. This is evident by the setting Obtain an IP address automatically, and Obtain DNS server address automatically in the general TCP/IP properties screen (figure 8).

Figure 8: TCP/IP properties



Continue with step 18 below if using DHCP as outlined above, if not using DHCP follow the steps below to create a static IP address:

1. Click Use the following IP address, which enables information to be inserted into the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway fields.
2. Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Default Gateway information into the spaces provided (must use optional keyboard or on-screen touch keyboard to input the numbers and/or characters).
3. Click Use the following DNS server addresses and input valid preferred and alternate DNS server IP addresses in the spaces provided (if required).

NOTE: If using the touch-screen keyboard, double click on the number or alpha character twice to appear on the monitor.

NOTE: All of the above addresses must be valid for the network the PC is being attached to. If the values are not known, the IT department or the customer must provide the IP (scheme) values. It is the responsibility of the customer to supply this information.

18. When finished making the changes or accepting the current setting, click OK. TCP/IP properties have been saved.
19. On the main Window 2000 screen, select Start, and then Run.
20. In the Run window type CMD and click OK (will bring up a DOS command prompt as shown in figure 9 below).
21. At the prompt, type in ipconfig and press Enter.

Figure 9: Typing ipconfig at the DOS command prompt

22. Verify the settings are correct. If the settings are not correct perform steps 17-21 again.
23. At the prompt, Ping a client PC on the network using the client PC's IP address (type ping followed by the IP address of another client PC installed on the same local area network).

Figure 10: Pinging from the DOS command prompt



If the above PING is unsuccessful, verify an appropriate IP address was typed in for the Local Area Connection configured (as shown in the IPCONFIG information). If this has been verified and still is unsuccessful, reboot the computer and try again.

24. Close the DOS command prompt window.
