Changing networking parameters from the control panel
The EIO (enhanced input/output) submenu appears on the I/O menu only when an 
HP Jetdirect print server is installed. If the printer contains an HP Jetdirect print server, 
you can configure basic networking parameters using the EIO menu. Network printer 
administrators can also use HP Web Jetadmin or the embedded Web server to configure 
these and other parameters remotely. 
NoteThe items available on the menu vary depending on the particular print server that is installed.

This menu allows you to configure the networking parameters for the printer. To check the 
printer’s current network settings, print a configuration page. See Understanding and printing 
the configuration page.

configured by a BootP or DHCP server when the 
printer is turned on. 
If you specify BOOTP=NO and DHCP=NO, you can 
choose AUTO IP=YES to have a link-local address 
169.254.x.x assigned automatically.
If you specify BOOTP=NO, DHCP=NO, and AUTO IP=NO, 
you can manually set the following TCP/IP

In the IPX/SPX menu, you can specify the frame 
type parameter used on your network. 
zThe default is AUTO, which automatically sets

detected.
zFor Ethernet networks, frame type selections 
include EN_8023, EN_II, EN_8022, and EN_SNAP.
zFor Token Ring networks, frame type selections 
include TR_8022 and TR_SNAP. 
In the submenu for Token Ring cards, you can also 
specify the NetWare Source Routing parameter, 
which can be AUTO (default), OFF, SINGLE R, 
orALL RT.
WEB HTTPS

server will appear as a secure site.
zHTTP/HTTPS: Access using either HTTP or 
HTTPS is permitted.
SECURITY KEEP
RESETSpecify whether the current security settings on the 
print server will be saved or reset to factory defaults.
zKEEP (default): The current security settings are 
maintained.
zRESET: Security settings are reset to factory 
defaults.
CFG LINK NO
YESSelects whether you want to manually configure the 
HP Jetdirect 10/100Base-TX print server’s network 
link speed and communication mode.
The HP Jetdirect settings must match the network. 
The default setting is NO, which bypasses the link 
configuration menu items.
If you specify YES, you can select one of the 
following link configuration menu items:

Novell NetWare frame type parameters
The HP Jetdirect print server automatically selects a NetWare frame type. Select a frame type 
manually only when the print server selects an incorrect frame type. To identify the frame type 
chosen by the HP Jetdirect print server, print a configuration page from the control panel. 
SeeUnderstanding and printing the configuration page.
The following frame types are supported:
zEthernet_802.3
zEthernet_II
zEthernet_802.2
zEthernet_SNAP
Disabling network protocols (optional)
By factory default, all supported network protocols are enabled. Disabling unused protocols 
has the following benefits: 
zIt decreases printer-generated network traffic.
zIt prevents unauthorized users from printing to the printer.
zIt provides only per tinent information on the Configuration page.
zIt allows the control panel to display protocol-specific error and warning messages.
To disable network protocols
NoteDo not disable the IPX/SPX protocol if Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Me, 
Windows 2000, or Windows XP users will be printing to the printer.
