I/O submenu

Items on the I/O (input/output) menu affect the communication between the printer and the computer.
If the printer contains an HP Jetdirect print server, you can configure basic networking parameters by
using the submenu. These and other parameters can also be configured through HP Web Jetadmin
(see

Using HP Web Jetadmin software

) or other network configuration tools, such as the embedded

Web server (see

Using the embedded Web server

).

Explanation

I/O TIMEOUT

5 to 300

Select the I/O timeout period in seconds.

Use this setting to adjust timeout for the best performance.
If data from other ports appears in the middle of your print
job, increase the timeout value.

The default setting is 15.

PARALLEL INPUT

HIGH SPEED

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

HIGH SPEED: Select YES to enable the printer to accept
the faster parallel communications that are used for
connections with newer computers.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: Turn the bidirectional parallel
communication on or off. The default is set for a
bidirectional parallel port (IEEE-1284).

The printer uses this setting to send status messages to the
computer. Turning the parallel advanced functions on might
slow language switching.

DIAGNOSTICS

RESET SECURITY

LINK SPEED

TCP/IP: Select whether the TCP/IP protocol stack is
enabled or disabled. You can set several TCP/IP parameters.

Select the TCP/IP CONFIGURE METHOD to configure the
EIO card. For the MANUAL option, set the values for IP
ADDRESS
, SUBNET MASK, LOCAL GATEWAY, and
DEFAULT GATEWAY.

IPX/SPX: Select whether the IPX/SPX protocol stack (in
Novell NetWare networks, for example) is enabled or
disabled.

APPLETALK: Enable or disable an AppleTalk network.

DLC/LLC: Select whether the DLC/LLC protocol stack is
enabled or disabled.

SECURE WEB: Specify whether the embedded Web server
accepts communications by using only secure HTTP
(HTTPS) or by using both HTTP and HTTPS.

DIAGNOSTICS: Use tests to help diagnose network
hardware or TCP/IP network connection problems.

RESET SECURITY: Specify whether the current security
settings on the print server are saved or reset to factory
defaults.

LINK SPEED: Select the network link speed and
communications mode for the 10/100T print server. To
ensure proper communication, the Jetdirect settings must
match those of the network.
