I/O submenu
Items on the I/O (input/output) menu affect the communication between the printer and the computer. If the printer contains an HP Jetdirect print server, you can configure basic networking parameters by using the submenu. These and other parameters can also be configured through HP Web Jetadmin (see Using HP Web Jetadmin software) or other network configuration tools, such as the embedded Web server (see Using the embedded Web server).
Item | Values | Explanation |
|
|
|
I/O TIMEOUT | 5 to 300 | Select the I/O timeout period in seconds. |
|
| Use this setting to adjust timeout for the best performance. |
|
| If data from other ports appears in the middle of your print |
|
| job, increase the timeout value. |
|
| The default setting is 15. |
|
|
|
PARALLEL INPUT | HIGH SPEED | HIGH SPEED: Select YES to enable the printer to accept |
| ADVANCED FUNCTIONS | the faster parallel communications that are used for |
| connections with newer computers. | |
|
| ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: Turn the bidirectional parallel |
|
| communication on or off. The default is set for a |
|
| bidirectional parallel port |
|
| The printer uses this setting to send status messages to the |
|
| computer. Turning the parallel advanced functions on might |
|
| slow language switching. |
|
|
|
EMBEDDED JETDIRECT | TCP/IP | TCP/IP: Select whether the TCP/IP protocol stack is |
| IPX/SPX | enabled or disabled. You can set several TCP/IP parameters. |
| Select the TCP/IP CONFIGURE METHOD to configure the | |
| APPLETALK | |
| EIO card. For the MANUAL option, set the values for IP | |
| DLC/LLC | ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK, LOCAL GATEWAY, and |
| DEFAULT GATEWAY. | |
| SECURE WEB | IPX/SPX: Select whether the IPX/SPX protocol stack (in |
| DIAGNOSTICS | Novell NetWare networks, for example) is enabled or |
| disabled. | |
| RESET SECURITY | APPLETALK: Enable or disable an AppleTalk network. |
| LINK SPEED | DLC/LLC: Select whether the DLC/LLC protocol stack is |
|
| enabled or disabled. |
|
| SECURE WEB: Specify whether the embedded Web server |
|
| accepts communications by using only secure HTTP |
|
| (HTTPS) or by using both HTTP and HTTPS. |
|
| DIAGNOSTICS: Use tests to help diagnose network |
|
| hardware or TCP/IP network connection problems. |
|
| RESET SECURITY: Specify whether the current security |
|
| settings on the print server are saved or reset to factory |
|
| defaults. |
|
| LINK SPEED: Select the network link speed and |
|
| communications mode for the 10/100T print server. To |
|
| ensure proper communication, the Jetdirect settings must |
|
| match those of the network. |
