I/O submenu
Items on the I/O (input/output) menu affect the communication between the device and the computer.
If the device contains an HP Jetdirect print server , you can configure basic networking parameters by
using the submenu. These and other parameters can also be configured through HP Web Jetadmin
(see 
Use HP Web Jetadmin software ) or other network configuration tools, such as the embedded Web
server (see 
Use the embedded Web server ).
ItemValuesExplanation
I/O TIMEOUT5 to 300Select the I/O timeout period in seconds.

Resets submenu
Items on the Resets submenu relate to returning settings to the defaults and changing settings such as
Sleep mode.
ItemValuesExplanation
RESTORE FACTORY
SETTINGSThere is no value to select.Performs a simple reset and restores most of the factory
(default) and network settings. This item also clears the input
buffer for the active I/O.
CAUTION Restoring factory settings during a print
job cancels the print job.
SLEEP MODE ON
OFFTurns Sleep mode on or off. Using Sleep mode offers the
following advantages:
●
Minimizes the amount of power that the device consumes
when it is idle
● Reduces wear on electronic components in the device
(turns off the display backlight, but the display is still
readable)
The device automatically comes out of Sleep mode when you
send a print job, press a device control panel button, open a
tray, or open the top cover.
You can set how long the device remains idle before it enters
Sleep mode.
The default setting is  ON.

If set to  DISABLED , some non-HP PostScript drivers use  the PostScript tray selection method
instead of the HP method.
● SIZE/TYPE PROMPT
. Use this item to control whether the tray configuration message and its
corresponding prompts are shown whenever a tray  is opened and closed. These prompts instruct
