Using the Control Panel To Configure HP JetDirect Cards in Printers

Introduction

If you have an HP DesignJet large-format printer (except DesignJet ColorPro GA), go to Chapter 4.

The printers listed below have control panels that let you configure certain network parameters manually.

HP Color LaserJet and Color LaserJet Series (5, 5M)

HP LaserJet 5Si Series (5Si, 5Si MX, 5Si NX, 5Si Mopier)

HP LaserJet 5 Series (5, 5M, 5N)

HP LaserJet 4Si Series (4Si, 4Si MX)

HP LaserJet 4V Series (4V, 4MV)

HP LaserJet 4 Plus Series (4 Plus, 4M Plus)

You can use the printer control panels to do the following:

enable or disable network protocols

configure Novell NetWare frame types

configure Novell NetWare source routing for Token Ring networks

configure TCP/IP parameters

configure Apple EtherTalk Phase parameters for Ethernet networks

for the HP LaserJet 4, 4M printers, configure the timeout setting for sensing the end of a job

NOTE

The above parameters can also be configured using

 

the HP JetDirect software.

 

 

Once you have configured these parameters using the control panel, you still need to install the appropriate print server software to complete the configuration process. Refer to your HP JetDirect software installation guide for instructions.
