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.
Internet Protocol (IP)
When information is sent across the network, the data is broken down into small packets. Each packet
is sent independently. Each packet is encoded with IP information, such as the IP address of the sender
and receiver. IP...

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP allows a group of devices to use a set of IP addresses that are maintained by a DHCP server.
The device or host sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns
it to that device.
BOOTP
BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download configuration parameters and host information from
a network server. In order for devices to start and load configuration information into RAM, they must
communicate with the server as a...

printer settings to  select a tray.
