TCP/IP
Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and
other devices communicate with each other over a network.
IP address
Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network
interface. This address is a software address that is used to identify both the network and specific hosts
that are located on that network. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each
time the device boots up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
An IPv4 address contains four bytes of information, divided into sections that each contain one byte.
The IP address has the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NOTE:When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting the wrong
address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with communications.
Configure IP parameters
IP configuration parameters can be configured manually, or they can be automatically downloaded by
using DHCP or BOOTP each time the product is turned on.
When turned on, a new product that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network
automatically assigns itself a default IP address. On a small private network, a unique IP address in the
range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 is assigned. The IP address for the product is listed on the
product Configuration page and the Network report. See 
Control-panel menus on page 9.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP allows a group of devices to use a set of IP addresses that are maintained by a DHCP server.
The device sends a request to the server, and if an IP address is available, the server assigns it to that
device.
BOOTP
BOOTP is a bootstrap protocol used to download configuration parameters and host information from
a network server.
The client broadcasts a boot request packet that contains the product hardware address. The server
answers with a boot reply packet that contains the information that the device needs for configuration.
ENWW Configure the product on the network 41
 
						

							Subnets
When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision
is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use
subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can
result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a single IP network into several different subnetworks.
For a given network class, a portion of an IP address that would normally be used to identify a node is
used, instead, to identify a subnetwork. A subnet mask is applied to each IP address to specify the
portion used for subnetworks, and the portion used to identify the node.
Gateways
Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators
between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures,
languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match
that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to
connect one subnet to another.
Default gateway
The default gateway is the IP address of the gateway or router that moves packets between networks.
If multiple gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway is typically the address of the first, or
nearest, gateway or router. If no gateways or routers exist, then the default gateway will typically assume
the IP address of the network node (such as the workstation or product).

Understand paper and print media use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet  these guidelines might cause the following problems:
● Poor print quality
● Increased jams
● Premature wear on the pr
oduct, requiring repair
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do
not use paper or print media made for inkjet pr inters. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend
the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.
It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handlin g, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not me et Hewlett-Packards specifications might
cause problems for the product, requiring repair. Th is repair is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard
warranty or service agreements.

Special paper or print media guidelines
This product supports printing on special media. Use the following guidelines to obtain satisfactory
results. When using special paper or print media, be sure to set the type and size in your print driver to
obtain the best print results.
CAUTION: HP LaserJet printers use fusers to bond dry  toner particles to the paper in very precise
dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this  extreme heat. Using inkjet paper not designed for this
technology could damage your printer.
Media typeDoDo not
Envelopes● Store envelopes flat.
● Use envelopes where the seam
extends all the way to the corner of
the envelope.
● Use peel-off adhesive strips that
are approved for use in laser
printers.●
Do not use envelopes that are
wrinkled, nicked, stuck together, or
otherwise damaged.
● Do not use envelopes that have
clasps, snaps, windows, or coated
linings.
● Do not use self-stick adhesives or
other synthetic materials.
Labels●Use only labels that have no
exposed backing between them.
● Use Labels that lie flat.
● Use only full sheets of labels.●Do not use labels that have wrinkles
