Disabling network protocols (optional)

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

decreases printer-generated network traffic

prevents unauthorized users from printing to the printer

provides only pertinent information on the configuration page

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

TCP/IP configuration should not be disabled on the HP Color LaserJet 3500 printer. If you disable TCP/IP, you will lose the connection to the printer's embedded Web server page.

To disable IPX/SPX

Do not disable this protocol if Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Me, 2000, and XP systems will be printing to the printer using IPX/SPX.
