IPv4 multicast packets. LLMNR allows both IPv6 and IPv4 hosts to perform name resolution for neighboring computers without requiring a DNS server or DNS client configuration.

● HP Web Services, which accesses XML-based data on HP Jetdirect print servers.

● The Web Services (WS) protocol, which is used to discover network-connected and PC-connected devices on both local and remote subnets.

● The Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) port and registration support.

● The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) configuration file, which controls the behavior of the TFTP server.

Parallel Handshake

This option lets you specify the parallel mode that the HP Jetdirect EX print server uses. If the specified mode does not work, the HP Jetdirect print server tries other modes until it finds one that does work. The default option tells the HP Jetdirect print server to select whichever mode is the fastest. If you know which parallel mode is the fastest, select it; otherwise, leave this option set to the default.

NOTE: You can only access this option through utilities such as HP Web Jetadmin.

To configure this option, select one of the parallel mode options.

●nACK and Busy: Device checks both the nACK and Busy lines. This is the most reliable because no data is lost in transfer, but it is the slowest for network communication.

●nACK only: Faster than nACK and Busy but not quite as reliable.

●Busy only: Fastest for network communication but also the least reliable.

Parallel Mode

This option specifies the parallel mode that the HP Jetdirect EX print server uses. If the specified mode does not work, the HP Jetdirect print server tries other modes until it finds one that does work. The default option tells the HP Jetdirect print server to select whichever mode is the fastest. If you know which parallel mode is the fastest, select it; otherwise, leave this option set to the default.

NOTE: You can only access this option through utilities such as HP Web Jetadmin.

To set the parallel mode, select one of the options:

●Bi-Directional (Jetdirect EX): A parallel connection that supports bidirectional communications.

●Centronics (Jetdirect EX): A standard parallel connection that transfers data in one direction only (to the printer).

●Automatic: Select the fastest mode (default).

●Multiple Logical Channels (MLC): A bidirectional parallel connection (IEEE-1284) that supports an enhanced capabilities port.
