Protocol Stacks

This option lets you enable or disable the various protocol stacks on the HP Jetdirect print server. Many networks only use a few protocols. For example, the AppleTalk and DLC protocols are enabled by default on HP Jetdirect print servers, but many networks do not use them. Although leaving unused protocols active will not harm the network, you might gain the following benefits if you disable them:

A slight improvement in network performance.

An additional measure of security and control because each user must access the HP Jetdirect print services centrally instead of establishing a direct connection. For example, a Macintosh user cannot set up a direct AppleTalk connection with the printer, but the user can access centralized print services through TCP/IP or IPX/SPX.

To enable a protocol stack, select the check box next to the protocol stack. To disable a protocol stack, clear the check box next to the protocol stack.

Proxy Server

Use this option to configure or view the web browser proxy settings on the device (for example, to enable OXPd 1.6 functionality that requires accessing web sites from a device). You can determine whether or not the web proxy is enabled. If enabled, the proxy address and port must be set. Proxy credentials may be provided. A proxy exception list is also supported. The device web browser does not use the proxy for addresses in the Proxy server exception list.

Following are steps to configure this option:

1.To enable this option, select Manual.

2.Type the URL for the proxy server in Proxy Server.

3.Type the port number for the proxy server in Proxy Port.
