Disabling network protocols (optional)
By factory default, all supported network protocols are enabled. Disabling unused protocols
has the following benefits:
•
decreases printer-generated network traffic
•
prevents unauthorized users from printing to the printer
•
provides only pertinent information on the configuration page
•
allows the p rinter control panel to display protocol-specific error and warning messages
Note TCP/IP configuration cannot be disabled on the HP Color LaserJet 5500 printer.
