TCP/IP
This section is intended to provide information to help you gain a basic understanding of TCP/IP.
Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way
computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network.
TCP/IP is rapidly becoming the most used set of protocols. The main reason this is happening is the
fact that the Internet is based on TCP/IP. If...

IP address: network portion
Network addresses are managed by an organization in Norfolk, Virginia, recognized as InterNIC.
InterNIC has been contracted by the National Science Foundation to manage the Internet addresses
and domains. Network addresses are distributed to organizations that are in turn responsible for
making sure all attached devices or hosts on the network are properly numbered. For more
information on the network portion of an IP address, see 
Default IP address configuration (AutoIP)...

Configuring IP parameters
TCP/IP configuration parameters (such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway) can be
configured on the printer in a variety of ways. These values can be configured manually (for
example, through Telnet, the embedded Web server, the arp and ping commands, and HP
management software), or they can be automatically downloaded using DHCP or BOOTP each time
the printer is turned on.
When powered on, a new printer that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network...
