							Supported network protocols
The product supports the TCP/IP network protocol, the most widely used and accepted networking
protocol. Many networking se rvices utilize this protocol. For more information, see 
TCP/IP
on page 78. The following table lists the supported networking services and protocols.

Line printer daemon (LPD) Printing service
Table 6-2  Network device discovery
Service nameDescription
SLP (Service Location Protocol)Device-discovery protocol, used to help find and configure
network devices. Used primaril y by Microsoft-based programs.
Bonjour Device-discovery protocol, used to help find and configure
network devices. Used primarily  by Apple Macintosh-based
programs.
Table 6-3   Messaging and management
Service nameDescription
HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)Allows Web browsers to communicate with embedded Web
server.
EWS (embedded Web server)Allows a user to manage the product through a Web browser.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Used by network applications for product management. SNMP
v1 and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base)
objects are supported.
Table 6-4   IP addressing
Service nameDescription
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)For automatic IP address assignment. The DHCP server
provides the product with an  IP address. Generally, no user
intervention is required for the product to obtain an IP address
from a DHCP server.
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)For automatic IP address assignment. The BOOTP server
provides the product with an IP address. Requires the
administrator to input a products MAC hardware address on
the BOOTP server for the product to obtain an IP address from
that server.
Auto IP For automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP
server nor a BOOTP server is present, the product uses this
service to generate a unique IP address.

							Configure network settings
You might need to configure certain network parameters on the product. You can configure these
parameters from the installation  software, the product control panel, the embedded Web server, or
management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin.
For more information about supported networ ks 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.
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 packets can be ro uted over routers and gateways: devices that connect a network with
other networks.
IP communications require no connection. When IP  packets are sent, they might not arrive at their
destination in the correct sequence.  However, higher-level protocols and programs place the packets
in the correct sequence, so IP  communications are efficient.
Each node or device that communicates  on the network requires an IP address.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP breaks the data into packets and recombines them on the receiving end by providing a connection-
oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to  another node on the network. When data packets
are received at their destination, TCP calculates a ch ecksum for each packet to verify that the data is
not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet
and requests that the packet be resent.
IP address
Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network
interface. This address is used to identify both th e network and specific hosts that are located on that
network. It is possible for a host to query a server fo r a dynamic IP address each time the product boots
up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
An IP address contains four bytes of information, di vided into sections that each contain one byte. The
IP address has the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NOTE: When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the wrong
address can disable other equipment operating on  the network or interfere with communications.
Configure IP parameters
TCP/IP configuration parameters can be configured manually, or they can be automatically downloaded
by using DHCP or BOOTP each time the product is turned on.
78 Chapter 6   Network configuration ENWW
 
						

							When turned on, a new product that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network
automatically assigns itself a def ault IP address. The IP address for  the product is listed on the product
Configuration page and the Network report. See 
Information pages on page 138.
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 product sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns it to that
product.
BOOTP BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download  configuration parameters and host information from
a network server.
The client broadcasts a boot request packet that  contains the product hardware address. The server
answers with a boot reply packet that contains the  information that the product needs for configuration.
Subnets
When an IP network address for a particular network  class is assigned to an organization, no provision
is made for more than one network being present at  that location. Local network administrators use
subnets to partition a network into several different  subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can
result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space.
Subnet mask The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a si ngle IP network into several different subnetworks.
For a given network class, a portion of an IP address  that would normally be used to identify a node is
used, instead, to identify a subnetwork. A subnet  mask is applied to each IP address to specify the
portion used for subnetworks, and the  portion used to identify the node.
Gateways
Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators
between systems that do not use the same communi cation protocols, data formatting, structures,
languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match
that of the destination system. When networks ar e divided into subnets, gateways are required to
connect one subnet to another.
Default gateway The default gateway is the IP address of the gateway or router that moves packets between networks.
If multiple gateways or routers exist, then the defaul t gateway is typically the address of the first, or
nearest, gateway or router. If no ga teways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume
the IP address of the network node (s uch as the workstation or product).

In addition to using the embedded Web server, you can also use the control-panel menus to set an IPv4
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

							Understand paper and print media use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet  these guidelines might cause the following problems:
● Poor print quality
● Increased jams
● Premature wear on the pr
oduct, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laserjets or multiuse. Do not
use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the
use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.
It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handlin g, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not me et Hewlett-Packards specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. Th is repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.
