Configure network options

This section contains information about configuring the printer’s network settings.

For information about opening and using specific management tools, see Overview of printer management tools.

For a list of current settings, print a configuration page. See Understanding and printing the configuration page. If the printer is connected to a network with an HP Jetdirect print server, you can use a variety of common network protocols such as TCP/IP.

By factory default, all supported network protocols are turned on. However, turning off unused protocols can provide such benefits as decreasing network traffic that the printer generates and preventing unauthorized users from printing to the printer.
