Changing networking parameters from the control panel
The EIO (enhanced input/output) submenu appears on the I/O menu only when an
HP Jetdirect print server is installed. If the printer contains an HP Jetdirect print server,
you can configure basic networking parameters using the EIO menu. Network printer
administrators can also use HP Web Jetadmin or the embedded Web server to configure
these and other parameters remotely.
Note The items available on the menu vary depending on the particular print server that is installed.
EIO menu
This menu allows you to configure the networking parameters for the printer. To check the
