HP Deskjet 6800 series printer User's Guide 1. RJ-45 plug Network communication TCP/IP Devices on a network communicate with one another using a "language" called a protocol. The printer is designed to operate on networks that use a popular protocol called TCP/IP. IP address Each device on a network identifies itself with a unique IP address. Most networks use a software tool, such as DHCP or AutoIP, to automatically assign IP addresses. Internet connections Networks may or may not be connected to the Internet. If you place the printer on a network connected to the Internet, it is recommended that you use a gateway so that the printer's IP address is assigned through DHCP. A gateway can either be a router or a Macintosh OSX computer running Internet Sharing. For more information about Internet Sharing, see the documentation that came with the computer. Rendezvous Rendezvous® is a networking feature available with Mac OS X v10.2 and higher. Rendezvous allows you to create instant IP-based wired or wireless networks of computers and devices without any configuration. For more information about Rendezvous, see the documentation that came with your computer. Note: Hewlett-Packard supports Rendezvous for Mac OS X v 10.2.3 and higher. 49
