I/O submenu
Items on the I/O (input/output) menu affect the communication between the printer and the computer.
If the printer 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
HP Web Jetadmin on page 14) or other network configuration tools, such as the embedded Web
server (see
Using the embedded Web server on page 280).
Item Values Explanation
I/O TIMEOUT 5 to 300 Select the I/O timeout period in seconds.
Use this setting to adjust timeout for the best performance. If
data from other ports appears in the middle of your print job,
increase the timeout value.
The default setting is 15.
PARALLEL INPUT HIGH SPEED
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
HIGH SPEED: Select YES to enable the printer to accept the
faster parallel communications that are used for connections
with newer computers.
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: Turn the bidirectional parallel
communication on or off. The default is set for a bidirectional
parallel port (IEEE-1284).
The printer uses this setting to send status messages to the
computer. Turning the parallel advanced functions on might
slow language switching.

SECURE WEB
DIAGNOSTICS
RESET SECURITY
LINK SPEED
TCP/IP: Select whether the TCP/IP protocol stack is enabled
or disabled. You can set several TCP/IP parameters.
Select the TCP/IP CONFIGURE METHOD to configure the
EIO card. For the MANUAL option, set the values for IP
ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK, LOCAL GATEWAY, and
DEFAULT GATEWAY.
IPX/SPX: Select whether the IPX/SPX protocol stack (in
Novell NetWare networks, for example) is enabled or disabled.
APPLETALK: Enable or disable an AppleTalk network.
DLC/LLC: Select whether the DLC/LLC protocol stack is
enabled or disabled.
SECURE WEB: Specify whether the embedded Web server
accepts communications by using only secure HTTP (HTTPS)
or by using both HTTP and HTTPS.
DIAGNOSTICS: Use tests to help diagnose network hardware
or TCP/IP network connection problems.
RESET SECURITY: Specify whether the current security
settings on the print server are saved or reset to factory
defaults.
LINK SPEED: Select the network link speed and
communications mode for the 10/100T print server. To ensure
proper communication, the Jetdirect settings must match
those of the network.
