TCP/IP Configuration

Introduction

To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP JetDirect print server must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address. Depending on your printer and system, this can be done in the following ways:

Note

When shipped from the factory, the HP JetDirect

 

print server has no IP address. If the HP JetDirect

 

print server is not configured with a valid IP

 

address within two minutes after power up, a

 

factory default value of 192.0.0.192 will be

 

automatically assigned. This address must be

 

reconfigured with a valid address for use on your

 

TCP/IP network. For more information on TCP/IP

 

networks, see appendix A.

 

 

●By downloading the data from a network-based UNIX server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on.

Note

The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a

 

BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.
