HP Color LaserJet CP6015xh User Manual

							When turned on, a new product that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network
automatically assigns itself a default 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 single 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 communication 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 are 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 default gateway is typically the address of the first, or
nearest, gateway or router. If no gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume
the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or product).
Manually configure IPv4 TCP/IP parameters from the control panel
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 product, 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 handling, 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 meet Hewlett-Packards specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. This repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.
