to
300
Use this to select the I/O timeout period in seconds. (I/O timeout refers to the
time, measured in seconds, that the product waits before ending a print job.)
This setting allows you to adjust timeout for best performance. If data from
other ports appear in the middle of your print job, increase the timeout value.
FIND SEND
GATESWAYS
Initiates a search to find a valid SMTP server and a valid LDAP server on the
network.
AUTO DISCOVER
also configures the two addresses after finding the
valid servers.
SMTP GATEWAY
SMTP SERVER
The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the SMTP server that processes the
e-mail sent from the product.
This address must be configured for e-mail to function.
LDAP GATEWAY
LDAP SERVER
The IP address of the LDAP server that provides the address book for e-mail
sent from the product.
This IP address is optional.
TEST SEND GATEWAYS
Validates the configured servers.

OFF
Turn the bidirectional parallel communication on or off. The default is set for a
bidirectional parallel por t (IEEE-1284).
This setting allows the product to send status readback messages to the
computer. (Turning the parallel advanced functions on might slow language
switching.)

EIO submenu
The EIO (enhanced input/output) submenu appears only when an EIO device is installed in an EIO slot on the product (such
as an HP Jetdirect print server). The items in the menu depend on the particular accessory product installed. If the product
contains an HP Jetdirect print server EIO card, you can configure basic networking parameters using the EIO menu. These
and other parameters can also be configured through HP Web JetAdmin or other network configuration tools (such as Telnet

The unique IP address of the product, where n is a value from
0 to 255.
The subnet mask for the product, where m is a value from 0 to
255. The mask is applied to IP addresses to uniquely identify
subnetworks and nodes.
The IP address of the syslog server used to receive and log
syslog messages.
The IP address of the gateway or router used for
communications with other networks.
The timeout value (in seconds) after an idle TCP print data
connection is automatically closed. The default value is 270
seconds. 0 disables the timeout.
