ENWW Chapter 3 Operation 67
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.

Item Values Explanation
I/O TIMEOUT 5 to 300 (*15) Select the I/O timeout period in seconds.
Use this setting to adjust timeout for best performance. If
data from other ports appear in the middle of your print
job, increase the timeout value.
PAGE BUFFERING *OFF
ON
Adjust the buffering so that the engine does not spin up
and down while it waits for information to be transferred.
● OFF: Indicates maximum performance and the fastest
first page out.
● ON: Indicates minimum wear, moderate performance,
and slower first page out.
NOTE: This item should be set to ON if you are using USB
1.1 or Ethernet 10 base T and the engine continues to
spin up and down.
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.
Use this menu to configure the printer’s TCP/IP settings.
