Novell NetWare frame type parameters

The HP Jetdirect 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 control panel.

See Understanding and printing the configuration page.

The following frame types are supported:

zEthernet_802.3

zEthernet_II

zEthernet_802.2

zEthernet_SNAP

Disabling network protocols (optional)

By factory default, all supported network protocols are enabled. Disabling unused protocols has the following benefits:

zIt decreases printer-generated network traffic.

zIt prevents unauthorized users from printing to the printer.

zIt provides only pertinent information on the Configuration page.

zIt allows the control panel to display protocol-specific error and warning messages.

To disable network protocols

Note

Do not disable the IPX/SPX protocol if Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Me,

 

 

Windows 2000, or Windows XP users will be printing to the printer.
