ENWW Configure Device menu 157
I/O submenu
Items on the I/O (input/output) menu affect the communication between the printer and the
computer. The submenu appears only when an EIO (enhanced input/output) device is installed
in an EIO slot on the printer (such as an HP Jetdirect print server). The contents of the submenu
depend on which type of EIO card is installed. If the printer contains an HP Jetdirect print server
EIO card, you can configure basic networking parameters using the submenu. These and other
parameters can also be configured through HP Web Jetadmin (see “Using HP Web Jetadmin
software” on page 64) or other network configuration tools, such as Telnet or the embedded Web
server (see “Using the embedded Web server” on page 62).
The following table lists the settings and possible values. In the Values column, the default value
for each setting is the one with an asterisk (*) next to it.
Item Values Explanation
I/O TIMEOUT 5 to 300 (*15) Select the I/O timeout period in seconds.
This setting allows you to adjust timeout for best
performance. If data from other ports appear in the middle
of your print job, increase the timeout value.
PARALLEL INPUT There is no value
to select.
Configure the parallel features.
HIGH SPEED NO
*YES
Select YES to enable the printer to accept the faster parallel
communications that are used for connections with newer
computers.
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS OFF
*ON
Turn the bidirectional parallel communication on or off. The
default is set for a bidirectional parallel port (IEEE-1284).
The function allows the printer to send status readback
messages to the computer. (Turning the parallel advanced
functions on might slow language switching.)
EIO [X]
JETDIRECT MENU
There is no value
to select.
The [X] represents the slot in which the optional
HP Jetdirect print server is installed, if any. Which of the
following submenus appears depends on the type of print
server that is installed:
TCP/IP
IPX/SPC
APPLETALK
DLC/LLC
TCP/IP There is no value to select.
ENABLE OFF
*ON
Select whether the TCP/IP protocol stack is enabled or
disabled.
HOST NAME *NPIXXXXXX An alphanumeric string (up to 32 characters long) that is
used to identify the device. This name is listed on the
Jetdirect configuration page.
The default host name is NPIXXXXXX, where XXXXXX is
composed of the last six digits of the LAN hardware (MAC)
address.
CONFIG METHOD *BOOTP
DHCP
MANUAL
Select whether the TCP/IP configuration parameters are
set automatically from a network server by using BootP
(Bootstrap Protocol), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol), or manually from the I/O submenu.
If you select DHCP and a DHCP lease exists, use the DHCP
settings to set DHCP lease options.
If you select MANUAL, use the MANUAL settings to configure
TCP/IP parameters.
