Network configuration
You might need to configure certain network parameters on the printer. You can configure
these parameters from the printer control panel, the embedded Web server, or for most
networks, from the HP Web Jetadmin software (or the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh).
Note
For more information about using the HP Toolbox, see Using the HP Toolbox (HP Color
LaserJet 5550 models).
For a complete list of supported networks and for instructions on configuring network
parameters from software, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator’s Guide. The
guide comes with printers in which an HP Jetdirect print server is installed.
This section contains the following instructions for configuring network parameters from the
printer control panel:
● Configuring TCP/IP parameters
● Disabling unused network protocols
● Configuring Novell NetWare frame type parameters
Configuring Novell NetWare frame type parameters
The HP Jetdirect 615N (HP Color LaserJet 5500) or the 620N (HP Color LaserJet 5550)
print server automatically selects a NetWare frame type. Select a frame type manually only
when the print server selects an incorrect frame type. To identify the frame type chosen by
the HP Jetdirect print server, print a configuration page from the printer control panel.
