HP PageWide XL 4000

Introduction
The printer provides a single RJ-45 connector port for a network connection. In order to meet Class B limits,
the use of shielded I/O cables is required.
The embedded Jetdirect print server supports connection to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet and 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet compliant networks. When connected
and powered on, the printer auto-negotiates with your network to operate with a link speed of 10, 100, or
1000 Mbps, and to communicate using full- or half-duplex mode. However, you can manually congure the
link using the printer's front panel, or through other conguration tools once network communication is
established.
The printer can support multiple network protocols simultaneously, including TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6. For
security, it includes features to control IP traic to and from the printer and supports conguration of IP
Security (IPsec) protocols.
Control network protocols
The printer can simultaneously support multiple network communication protocols. This allows network
computers that may be using dierent protocols to communicate with the same printer.
Each protocol may require some conguration before the printer can communicate on the network. For some
protocols, required parameters are automatically sensed and user-specied settings are not needed.
However, for other protocols, there may be many parameters to congure.
Enable or disable network protocols
If a network protocol is enabled, the printer may actively transmit on the network even when there are no
computers on the network that use the protocol. This may increase network traic. To eliminate unnecessary
traic, you can disable unused protocols. Disabling unused protocols lets you:
●
Reduce network traic by eliminating broadcast messages from unused protocols
●
Provide better control over who prints to the printer by eliminating users from other networks who
might route print jobs to this printer
●
Display protocol-specic error conditions for enabled protocols only
To disable unused protocols through the device’s control panel menu, see Front-panel menu items
on page 66. For other tools, such as system command access to the embedded Telnet server, see the HP
Jetdirect Print Server Administrator’s Guide for your print server model.
