 or 
Windows
®
 2000 
 
Overview 
 
DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows® NT®  and Windows® 2000 
as standard. It can be used on other operating systems (such as Windows® 3.x) 
with the addition of vendor-supplied software that supports the Hewlett-Packard 
JetDirect card.  
 
Quick Tips: 
 
1.  One way to print the details of all network settings is to print a 
configuration page. Refer to the NC-8100h Quick Network Setup Guide 
for information on how to print the configuration page. 
 
Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a router between the 
Print / Fax server and the sending computer.
