3-2 Control Panel Configuration
After you have configured the HP JetDirect card through the control
panel, you may still need to complete the configuration of your
computer and network operating system for printing. For more
information, see the HP JetDirect software installation
instructions included with this product.
If you reconfigure the card—for example, you disable a network
protocol—your configuration is saved on the card and is maintained
even after the printer is turned off and back on again.
To Restore Configuration Default
Values
You can restore default values by performing a cold reset on your
printer. See your printer documentation for instructions. (Note: To
perform a cold reset on some HP LaserJet printers, turn off the
printer and then hold down [Go] as you turn the printer back on.)
Resetting your printer restores both your printer and JetDirect
configuration to their factory default values. To verify HP JetDirect
default values have been reset, print a JetDirect configuration page
(see chapter 2
).
To Enable or Disable Network
Protocols
When you first install the card from the factory, all supported
network protocols are enabled (or turned on) when you turn the
printer on. If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively
transmit on the network even when the protocol is not in use. This
may increase network traffic slightly. To eliminate unnecessary
traffic, you can disable unused protocols. Disabling unused
protocols lets you:
●
reduce network traffic by eliminating broadcast messages from
unused protocols (for example, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP).
●
provide better control over who prints to the printer by
eliminating users from other networks who might accidentally
route print jobs to this printer.
