Using the Printer Control Panel

When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect print servers provide a configuration menu that can be accessed from the printer’s control panel. Using this menu, you can enable or disable network protocols and set basic network parameters. For a summary of the available menu items, see Appendix B.

Note

For instructions on using the control panel for your

 

printer, refer to your printer documentation.

 

 

When accessing the HP Jetdirect menu from the printer’s control panel, the TCP/IP network configuration parameters that you can set include the following:

IP host name

DHCP lease behavior (release or renew)

IP address of the print server

Subnet mask

Default gateway address

Syslog server address

Idle timeout period

If you need to configure more TCP/IP parameters than allowed by control panel configuration, use an alternate configuration tool (such as Telnet or the embedded Web server).

If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured to receive its TCP/IP configuration from the printer control panel, the configuration is saved on the print server when powered off/on.
