Description
HP J4106A JetDirect 400N 10Base-T RJ-45 LaserJet Network Print Server Card
The HP J4106A is an internal JetDirect 400N print server card that plugs directly into an EIO expansion slot in compatible HP LaserJet printers, enabling the printer to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN. Once installed, the printer becomes a standalone network node — no external print server hardware required. It provides a dedicated RJ-45 port accessible from the rear of the printer for a direct connection to an Ethernet hub or switch.

Applications
HP JetDirect internal print server cards like the J4106A were designed for HP LaserJet printers equipped with one or more EIO (Enhanced Input/Output) expansion slots — a proprietary HP slot standard found on mid- to high-end LaserJet models from the mid-1990s onward, including many LaserJet 4, 4Plus, 5, 5Si, 8000, and 8100 series printers, as well as several DesignJet and Color LaserJet models. The JetDirect 400N series supported 10Base-T Ethernet at a time when this was the dominant LAN standard in office environments. These cards remain useful today for anyone maintaining legacy HP LaserJet hardware in small office or specialized environments — the EIO slot interface is still functional on printers in service, and JetDirect cards can often be configured via HP's web-based JetAdmin or Telnet utilities. The 10Base-T standard is backward-compatible with modern 10/100 switches, so the card will typically negotiate a connection on current network hardware at 10 Mbps.
This HP JetDirect 400N J4106A 10Base-T print server card has been pulled from a working environment where it was previously in service. The card has been visually inspected and is in good used condition. The faceplate is clean and intact, with the RJ-45 port and captive thumbscrews in good shape. The PCB shows normal handling wear consistent with prior installation and removal. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
