Page 69 highlights

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 by using the submenu. These and other parameters can also be configured through HP Web Jetadmin or other network configuration tools, such as Telnet or the embedded Web server. 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. Table 15.
