- Port
Selects the port to which the printer is connected. Only change the Port selection if you physically change the port to which your printer is connected. Ports may be found on the Ports tab within Macintosh.
- Apple Talk
You must enter the Apple Talk name; the default is "hp Designjet 10ps" (or 20ps). Select a printer from the appropriate zone, if zones are defined on your network.
- File Ports
The File Port behaves like a save-to-file option. Instead of sending data out through a port on your computer, the File Port option will write the data to a file and save it to a specified location. Use the File Port to send data to printers that use their own Hot Folders, to transfer files to another computer, or to troubleshoot a specific output device.
- TCP/IP
You must enter an IP address, which may be obtained from your Network Print Server.
- Universal Serial Bus (USB) Ports
Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports will automatically appear in the list of ports in the HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps software if the computer is properly set up and configured to use USB devices. USB comes standard for most new computers and output devices, and has become popular for its fast data transfer rate, and plug-and-play connectivity.
