Control Panel Configuration

Introduction

In most cases, you will use HP software tools to configure your

network printer. However, if your HP printer or Mopier has a

control panel, you can configure basic network parameters through

the printer’s control panel. Printers with control panel support

include:

●

HP LaserJet 4000, 4050, 5000, 8000, and 8100 Series EIO

printers

●

HP Color LaserJet 4500, 8500, 8550 Series EIO printers

●

HP Mopier 240 and 320 Series EIO Mopiers

●

HP DesignJet 1050C and 1055CM Series EIO printers

Note To configure HP JetDirect parameters on

HP DesignJet 1050C/1055CM Series printers

through the printer’s front control panel, see

your HP DesignJet setup guide.

For printers without control panels (for example,

HP LaserJet 2100 Series EIO printers), you must

use HP software tools for configuration.

You can use the printer control panel to do the following:

●

Enable or disable network protocols

●

Configure IPX frame types

●

Configure IPX source routing for Token Ring networks

●

Configure TCP/IP parameters

●

Configure Apple EtherTalk Phase parameters for Ethernet

networks
