EN TCP/IP Configuration 83
Using the Embedded Web Server
You can set IP parameters on HP Jetdirect print servers that
support the embedded web server. For more information, refer to
Appendix B
.
Using the Printer Control Panel
When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect internal print servers
provide a configuration menu that can be accessed from the printer’s
control panel. Using this menu, you can enable or disable network
protocols and set basic network parameters. For a summary of the
available menu items, see Appendix C
.
Note For instructions on using the control panel for your
printer to access printer, refer to your printer User’s
Guide or related documentation.
When accessing the HP Jetdirect menu from the printer’s control
panel, you can set the following TCP/IP network configuration
parameters:
●
IP address of the print server
●
Subnet mask
●
Default gateway address
●
Syslog server address
●
Idle timeout period
If you need to configure more TCP/IP parameters than allowed by
control panel configuration, you should use an alternate method (for
example, see Using Telnet
or Using the Embedded Web Server) as
described in this chapter.
If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured to receive its TCP/IP
configuration from the printer control panel, the configuration is
saved on the print server over power cycles.
