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
