Using The Printer Control Panel - HP jetdirect 175x Administrator's Manual

Using the Printer Control Panel

When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect internal 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 HP Jetdirect
wireless print servers, you can also set basic wireless network
connection parameters. For a summary of the available menu items,
see Appendix C.
Note
When accessing the HP Jetdirect menu from the printer's control
panel, you can set the following TCP/IP network configuration
parameters:
G
IP host name
G
DHCP lease behavior (release or renew)
G
IP address of the print server
G Subnet mask
G Default gateway address
G
Syslog server address
G
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) as described in this
chapter.
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.
