1.
The printer assigns itself a link-local IPv6 address (which starts with “fe80::”).
2.
The printer assigns itself stateless IPv6 addresses as indicated to it by any IPv6 routers on the network.
3.
If no stateless IPv6 addresses can be assigned, the printer will try to obtain IPv6 addresses using
DHCPv6. It will also do so if the routers instruct it to do so.
The stateless and DHCPv6 IPv6 addresses can be used to access the printer, and in most IPv6 networks this
will be appropriate.
The link-local IPv6 address works only in the local subnet. Although it is possible to access the printer using
this address, it is not recommended.
It is possible to assign a manual IPv6 address to the printer, using the front panel or the Embedded Web
Server. It is also possible to disable IPv6 completely in the printer. However, it is not possible to disable IPv4
in the printer, and therefore it is not possible to configure the printer as IPv6-only.
NOTE:
In typical IPv6 use, your printer will have multiple IPv6 addresses, although it has only one IPv4
address.
TIP:
You are recommended to give a name to the printer. You can do this from the front panel or (more
easily) from the Embedded Web Server.
TIP:
You will generally find it easier to use IPv4 unless you have a specific need to use IPv6.
Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, later versions of Windows, and the new HP
Printing and Imaging devices have IPv6 enabled by default. For further information on IPv6, see
. This document
discusses how name resolution plays a fundamental role in Dual-Stack transition methods. Using the name
resolution algorithm in Windows, the document goes through various network environments and studies
how the introduction of routable IPv6 addresses will affect network applications. It also discusses DHCPv6,
SLAAC and the impact to DNS, and makes some recommendations.
Connect the printer to the Internet
To connect to the Internet, go to the front panel and press
, then Connectivity > Connectivity wizard.
The connectivity wizard also checks that the printer’s firmware is up to date. Normally you need to run the
wizard only once, when first setting up the printer.
An Internet connection is needed for various printer functions described in this guide, such as the Embedded
Web Server.
RIP software installation
Install the RIP software by following the instructions provided with the software.
Advanced network configuration
You will probably not need to read this section, but the information is provided as it may be useful in some
cases.
The printer provides a single RJ-45 connector port for a network connection. In order to meet Class B limits,
the use of shielded I/O cables is required.
The embedded Jetdirect print server supports connection to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T Ethernet, IEEE 802.3u
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet and 802.3ab 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet compliant networks. When connected
and powered on, the printer auto-negotiates with your network to operate with a link speed of 10, 100, or
1000 Mbps, and to communicate using full- or half-duplex mode. However, you can manually configure the
link using the printer's front panel, or through other configuration tools once network communication is
established.
