OVERRIDE AT OUT 1

OVERRIDE AT OUT 2

Choose OVERRIDE AT OUT 1 to allow the product to continue printing when supply items, other than the toner collection unit, have reached the end of their estimated life.

ENWW Configure device menu 31

Item Sub-item Values Description

Choose OVERRIDE AT OUT 2 to allow the product to continue printing when any color supply is past the end of its estimated capacity, including the toner collection unit. This option is not recommended because of the risk of overfilling the toner collection unit, which could result in the need to service your printer.

Information about the remaining toner is not available when printing in Override mode.

Once an HP supply has reached the end of its estimated life, HP's Premium Protection Warranty on that supply has ended. For Warranty information, see

cartridge limited warranty statement on page 225.

The Override options can be enabled or disabled at any time, and do not have to be re-enabled for each supply item. The product automatically continues printing when a supply item reaches the end of its estimated life. The message “Replace supply Override in use” displays on the control panel while a supply is used in Override mode. When the supply item is replaced with a new supply, Override is de-activated until another supply item reaches the end of its estimated life.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.

The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need to enable them manually.

USB connection

This product supports a USB 2.0 connection. You must use an A-to-B type USB cable that is no longer than 2 meters (6.56 feet)

Network configuration

You might need to configure certain network parameters on the product. You can configure these parameters from the control panel, the embedded Web server, or for most networks, from the HP Web Jetadmin software.

For a complete list of supported networks and for instructions on configuring network parameters from software, see the HP Jetdirect Embedded Print Server Administrator’s Guide. The guide comes with products in which an HP Jetdirect embedded print server is installed.

Supported network protocols

The product supports the TCP/IP network protocol, the most widely used and accepted networking protocol. Many networking services utilize this protocol. The following tables list the supported networking services and protocols.

Table 5-1 Printing

Service name Description

port9100 (Direct Mode) Printing service

Line printer daemon (LPD) Printing service

Advanced LPD (custom LPD queues) Protocol and programs associated with line-printer spooling

services installed on TCP/IP systems.

FTP TCP/IP utility for transferring data between systems.

WS Print Uses the Microsoft Web Services for Devices (WSD) Print

services on the HP Jetdirect print server.

WS Discovery Allows Microsoft WS discovery protocols on the HP Jetdirect

print server.

Table 5-2 Network device discovery

Service name Description

SLP (Service Location Protocol) Device-discovery protocol, used to help find and configure

network devices. Used primarily by Microsoft-based programs.

Bonjour Device-discovery protocol, used to help find and configure

network devices. Used primarily by Apple Macintosh-based programs.

Table 5-3 Messaging and management

Service name Description

HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) Allows Web browsers to communicate with embedded Web

server.

68 Chapter 5 Connectivity ENWW

Table 5-3 Messaging and management (continued)

Service name Description

EWS (embedded Web server) Allows you to manage the product through a Web browser.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Used by network applications for product management. SNMP

v1, SNMP v3, and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base) objects are supported.

LLMNR (Link Local Multicast Name Resolution) Specifies if the product responds to LLMNR requests over IPv4

and IPv6.

TFTP Configuration Allows you to use TFTP to download a configuration file

containing additional configuration parameters, such as SNMP or non-default settings, for an HP Jetdirect print server.

Table 5-4 IP addressing

Service name Description

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) For automatic IP address assignment. The product supports

IPv4 and IPv6. The DHCP server provides the product with an IP address. Generally, no user intervention is required for the product to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) For automatic IP address assignment. The BOOTP server

provides the product with an IP address. Requires the administrator to input a product's MAC hardware address on the BOOTP server for the product to obtain an IP address from that server.

Auto IP For automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP

server nor a BOOTP server is present, the product uses this service to generate a unique IP address.

Table 5-5 Security features

Service name Description

IPsec/Firewall Provides network-layer security on IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A

firewall provides simple control of IP traffic. IPsec provides additional protection through authentication and encryption protocols.

Kerberos Allows you to exchange private information across an open

network by assigning a unique key, called a ticket, to each user who logs on to the network. The ticket is then embedded in messages to identify the sender.

SNMP v3 Employs a user-based security model for SNMP v3, which

provides user authentication and data privacy through encryption.

Access control list (ACL) Specifies the individual host systems, or networks of host

systems, that are allowed to access the HP Jetdirect print server and the attached network product.

SSL/TLS Allows you to transmit private documents via the Internet and

guarantee privacy and data integrity between the client and server applications.

dots. HP laser paper is designed to withstand this extreme heat. Using inkjet paper not designed for this technology could damage your printer.
