							Network connection
All product models except for the HP Color LaserJet CP6015 include an embedded HP Jetdirect print
server, which supports connection to a network using the local area network (LAN) connector (RJ-45)
on the back of the product. For more information about configuring the product on a network see 
Network

							Benefits of a network connection
Connecting the product to a network provides a number of benefits:
●All network users can share the same product.
●You can manage the product remotely, from any computer on the network, by using the embedded
Web server (EWS).
●You can use the HP Easy Printer Care software to view supply usage on all HP products connected
to the network. This makes it easy to centrally manage ordering replacement cartridges and other
supplies.
●For large enterprise businesses, you can also manage the product remotely by using HP Web
Jetadmin.

							Supported network protocols
The product supports the TCP/IP network protocol, the most widely used and accepted networking
protocol. Many networking services utilize this protocol. For more information, see 
TCP/IP
on page 76. The following table lists the supported networking services and protocols.
Table 6-1  Printing
Service nameDescription
port9100 (Direct Mode)Printing service
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 primarily 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 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.
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 routed 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 checksum 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 the network and specific hosts that are located on that
network. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each time the product boots
up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
An IP address contains four bytes of information, divided 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.
