Chapter 7: Networking
The DX-B350P/B450P is a fast network capable printer 
and supports an Ethernet 10/100 Base-Tx network 
connection. 
Protocols
The following protocols are supported:
Initial Setting of the Printer’s IP Address
All devices on the network must have an IP address. The 
printer comes configured from the factory to obtain an 
address automatically from your network’s DHCP server. 
If your network does not support DHCP or you want to set 
the printer to a specific IP address, you must set it 
manually. 
Setting the IP Address through DHCP
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically 
programs an IP address into every terminal and printer on 
the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP 
server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a 
cable or DSL router, see your the device documentation for 
information on IP addressing.

Configuring the Driver
Networking
Setting the Network Configuration Manually
You can make changes to the printer’s default network configuration using the Operator Panel. 
Once the settings for DHCP or IP address are changed, the printer automatically re-initializes. 
To manually set the printer’s IP address:
1.Navigate through the menus to the Interface> Network 1 Setup sub menu.
2.Navigate through the Network 1 Setup items to set all of the following items: 
IP Address
Subnet mask
Disable DHCP
For more information, see “Interface Menu” on page 3-8.
Setting the IP Address through the Embedded Web Server
The IP Address can also be changed from a computer by using the Embedded Web Server. Prior 
to using the Embedded Web Server, the printer must have a obtained a valid IP address either 
through DHCP or manually entered through the Operator Panel.
1.Connect your printer to the network by plugging in the network connector.
2.Turn on your computer and allow it to power up.
3.Print the Configuration Summary by pressing the INFO button. The Configuration 
Summary lists the printer’s IP address.
4.Access the EWS as described in “Accessing the EWS” on page 6-1.
5.In the left navigation area, select Network Settings>Protocol Settings and navigate 
through the options to get the IP address.
NOTE:You must have administrative access to perform this function.
Configuring the Driver
Once the printer has an IP address, the printer driver can be installed.
1.Connect your printer to the network by plugging in the network connector.
2.Turn on your computer and allow it to power up.
3.Print the Configuration Summary by pressing the INFO button. The Configuration 
Summary lists the printer’s IP address.
4.Install the printer drivers using the CD-ROM included with the printer.
5.At the Select a Printer Port installation screen, click the Add Network Port button.
6.Enter the printer’s IP address and complete the installation as indicated by the installation 
screens.

Notifications
Networking
Notifications
Automatic notifications of printer unavailability during printing can be sent in the following 
ways:
IP Filtering
The purpose of IP filtering is to limit access to the printer to only those Host computers that 
have IP addresses within IP ranges predefined on the configuration page. The IP configuration 
page, accessible from the EWS (when logged in as administrator), has enable and disable 
parameters. When IP filtering is disabled, all network traffic is allowed.
When IP filtering is enabled and incoming data is from an address that falls within the 
predefined range, it is allowed to print, if the “Printing” or “Config” checkboxes are checked. If 
the incoming data does not fall into a predefined range, it is rejected.
In cases where IP ranges overlap but have different permissions (for example, one to print only 
and another to print and configure), permissions for the overlapping addresses are determined 
by IP Filter priority. Higher priority overrides lower priority permissions. If an administrator IP 
address is entered, it takes highest priority over any configured IP range.
NOTE:Leaving IP ranges disables IP Filtering. The address 0.0.0.0 is not allowed. SNMP monitoring

IPv6 Implementation
Networking
IPv6 Implementation
Specifications
The IPv6 implementation conforms to the following IETF documents:
Operational Information
IPv6 enabled devices can auto configure their IPv6 address. This happens automatically 
whenever there is an IPv6 enabled router on the subnet to which the device is connected. The 
printer unique ID is obtained from the Ethernet MAC address. The router may advertise 
multiple network prefixes, depending on the network configuration. The Network summary 
page displays all the above addresses, if they exist. If only the Local Link address (starting with 
“xFE80...”) is displayed, that is an indication that the link is not connected to a router 
(gateway). No manual configuration of IPv6 addresses is supported, nor is there support for 
DHCPv6, and the printer does not register its IPv6 address with DNS. 
Upper Level Protocols such as UDP, TCP run with either IPv4 or IPv6. For instance, a print job 
can be sent to the printer over IPv4 or IPv6. Similarly the EWS or SNMP can be accessed over 
IPv4 or IPv6. IPv6 and IPv4 coexist independent of each other. They can be Enabled/Disabled 
in any combination. They are both enabled by default. In cases where a particular network is 
configured to run only one IP version, it makes sense to disable the other one (for better 
resource utilization).
SNMP
SNMP can be used to manage any network device. SNMP is a protocol that allows an SNMP 
manager (the controller) to control an SNMP agent (the controlee) by exchanging SNMP 
messages. The main purpose of an SNMP message is to control (set) or monitor (get) the 
parameters in a network device.
In SNMP, a parameter is an instance of a more generic object. For example, an SNMP agent 
may have several instances of an object. An SNMP manager can set or get the value for each 
object instance (each parameter). 
RFC 2460: Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification
RFC 2461: Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)
RFC 2462/4862: IPv6 Stateless Address Auto Configuration
RFC 1981: Path MTU Discovery for IP Version 6

SNMP
Networking
In an SNMP agent, parameters are arranged in a tree. SNMP uses an Object Identifier (OID) to 
specify the exact parameter to set or get in the tree. An OID is a list of numbers separated by 
periods. An OID is a combination of two values. The first value is the OID of the generic object 
and the second is the instance value, which specifies the particular instance of the object. 
Every SNMP agent has an address book of all its objects, called the MIB or Management 
Information Base. The MIB provides the name, OID, data type, read/write permissions, and a 
brief description for each object in an SNMP agent. Armed with information about an object 
from the MIB, and the instance value, an SNMP manager can send an SNMP message to set or 
get one of the parameters on an SNMP agent.
Supported Object Identifiers
The printer can be managed via a standard SNMP management station. The printer supports 
SNMP-v1, SNMP-v2c, MIB-II, Host Resources MIB, and Printer MIB. 
Tr a p s
The printer sends generic traps at power up and online and offline traps. Traps are sent on all 
printer status changes such as: paper out, cover open, tray missing, and jams. The Trap Host ID 
must be set via the EWS for traps to be enabled.
Hewlett Packard Web Jet Administrative Compatibility
This product operates with HP WebJet Admin in a basic mode where WJA provides generic 
support for any printer that has Printer MIB implemented. There is no special recognition of 
this printer by WJA other than that supported by Printer MIB.
SNMP Alerts
Support for SNMP alerts is based on Printer MIB (RFC 1759) requirements. All outstanding 
alerts are logged into the Printer MIB alert table. Whenever critical alert is entered into the table 
trap is generated to the Host application. Traps are sent only if Trap Host IP address is defined. 
It can be set through the EWS under the SNMP setup menu.
