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 TCP/IP overview.

●By using your printer installation software or the HP Jetdirect print server installation software on supported systems. For more information see the software solutions summary.

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