Control Panel Configuration
Introduction
In most cases, you will use HP software tools to configure your network printer. However, if your HP printer or Mopier has a control panel, you can configure basic network parameters through the printer’s control panel. Printers with control panel support include:
●HP LaserJet 4000, 4050, 5000, 8000, and 8100 Series EIO printers
●HP Color LaserJet 4500, 8500, 8550 Series EIO printers
●HP Mopier 240 and 320 Series EIO Mopiers
●HP DesignJet 1050C and 1055CM Series EIO printers
Note | To configure HP JetDirect parameters on |
| HP DesignJet 1050C/1055CM Series printers |
| through the printer’s front control panel, see |
| your HP DesignJet setup guide. |
| For printers without control panels (for example, |
| HP LaserJet 2100 Series EIO printers), you must |
| use HP software tools for configuration. |

You can use the printer control panel to do the following:
●Enable or disable network protocols
●Configure IPX frame types
●Configure IPX source routing for Token Ring networks
●Configure TCP/IP parameters
