Parallel connection
Establish a parallel connection by connecting the MFP to the computer with a bidirectional parallel cable
(IEEE-1284C compliant) that has a c- connector. The cable can be a maximum of 10 meters (30 feet)
long.

NOTETo use the enhanced ca pabilities of the bidirectional para llel interface, ensure that the
most recent printer  driver is installed.
Factory settings support automatic switching betw een the parallel port and one or more network
connections on the MFP.

							Network configuration
You might need to configure certain network parameters on the device. You can configure these
parameters in the following locations:
●Installation software
●Device control panel
●Embedded Web server
●Management software (HP Web Jetadmin or HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh)
NOTEFor more information about using the embedded Web server, see
Embedded Web server
For more information on supported networks and network configuration tools, see the HP Jetdirect Print
Server Administrator’s Guide. The guide comes with printers in which an HP Jetdirect print server is
installed.
This section contains the following information about configuring network parameters:
●
Configure TCP/IPv4 parameters
●
Configure TCP/IPv6 parameters
●
Disable network protocols (optional)
●
HP Jetdirect EIO print servers
Configure TCP/IPv4 parameters
If your network doesnt provide automatic IP addressing through DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or another
method, you might need to enter the following parameters manually before you can print over the
network:
●IP address (4 bytes)
●Subnet mask (4 bytes)
●Default gateway (4 bytes)
Change the IP address
You can view the current IP address of the device from the control-panel Home screen by touching
Network Address.
Use the following procedure to change the IP address manually.
1.Scroll to and touch Administration.
2.Scroll to and touch Initial Setup.
3.Touch Networking and I/O.
4.Touch Embedded Jetdirect.
5.Touch TCP/IP.

Configure TCP/IPv6 parameters
For information about configuring the device for a TCP/IPv6 network, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server
Administrators Guide.
Disable network protocols (optional)
By factory default, all supported network protocols are enabled. Disabling unused protocols has the
following benefits:
●It decreases device-generated network traffic.
●It prevents unauthorized users from printing to the device.
●It provides only pertinent information on the configuration page.
●It allows the device control panel to display protocol-specific error and warning messages.
Disable IPX/SPX

HP Jetdirect EIO print servers
HP Jetdirect print servers (network cards) can be installed in the EIO slot. Supported networking features
depend on the print server model. For available HP Jetdirect EIO print server models, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/jetdirect.
NOTEConfigure the card through the control panel, the printer installation software, or HP Web
Jetadmin. Refer to the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for more information.
