Networking This section provides information about using your printer on a network. ● To configure a network port-connected device configuration (direct mode or peer-to-peer printing) ● Supported .
To configure a network port-connected device configuration (direct mode or peer-to-peer printing) In this configuration, the device is connected directly to the network, and all computers on the network print directly to the device. NOTE This mode is the recommended network configuration for the device.
Supported network protocols The HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer supports the TCP/IP network protocol. It is the most widely used and accepted networking protocol. Many networking services utilize this protocol. The following table lists the networking services/protocols that are supported on the HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer.
IP Addressing Service name Description DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) For Automatic IP address assignment. DHCP server provides device with IP address. Generally requires no user intervention for printer to obtain IP address from a DHCP server.
TCP/IP configuration To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the printer must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network.
TCP/IP configuration tools Depending on your printer and operating system, the printer can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways: ● Using Software—You can use your printer installation software on HP Toolbox.
Using BOOTP/TFTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) provides a convenient way to automatically configure the printer for TCP/IP network operation. When powered on, printer sends a BOOTP request message onto the network. A properly configured BOOTP server on the network will respond with a message that contains basic network configuration data for printer.
Configuring the BOOTP Server For the printer to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP server must be set up with the appropriate configuration files. BOOTP is used by the print server to obtain entries in the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server.
Option Description ha The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address is the link-level, or station address of the printer. It can be found on the printer network configuration page as the HARDWARE ADDRESS . ip The IP address tag (required). This address will be the printer's IP address.
Using DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the printer uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the printer autom.
Windows NT 4.0 Server To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the following steps: 1. At the Windows NT server, open the Program Manager window and double-click the Network Administrator icon. 2. Double-click the DHCP Manager icon to open this window.
c. You must now provide the IP address of the WINS server by doing the following: ● Select Value , then Edit Array . ● From the IP Address Array Editor, select Remove to delete any undesired addresses previously set. Then type in the IP address of the WINS server and select Add .
a. In the DHCP tree, open the folder for your scope and select Reservations . b. Click the Action menu and select New Reservation . c. Enter the appropriate information in each field, including the reserved IP address for your printer. NOTE The MAC address for your printer is available on the printer's network configuration page.
To discontinue DHCP configuration CAUTION Changes to an IP address on your printer may require updates to printer or system printing configurations for clients or servers. If you do not want your printer configured through DHCP, you must reconfigure the printer with a different configuration method.
Using the printer control panel The HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer allows you to set up an IP address automatically using BOOTP or DHCP. For more information, see Default IP address configuration . To configure the IP address manually from the printer control panel, see Configure a static IP address for my printer .
Using the embedded Web server You can use the embedded Web server to view or change your IP configuration settings. To do this, open the embedded Web server and click on the Networking tab.

Printing on both sides To print on both sides of the paper, you have to return to the printer and reinsert the paper manually after the first side has printed. CAUTION Do not print on both sides of labels or transparencies. Damage to the printer and jams might result.
3. After the job is finished printing, remove any blank paper from Tray 2 or optional Tray 3. Lift the printed stack from the output bin and insert the printed stack without rotating or turning the stack over into the printer tray that was used for the first part of the job.
Canceling a print job A print job can be canceled from a program, from a print queue, or from the ( C ANCEL J OB ) button on the printer. ● If the printer has not started printing, first try to cancel the job within the program that sent the print job.
Color This chapter describes how the printer provides great color printing. This chapter also describes ways to produce the best possible color prints.
Using color This printer offers great color as soon as you set it up. It provides a combination of automatic color features to generate excellent color results for the general user, plus sophisticated tools for the experienced color user.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that was originally developed by HP and Microsoft as a common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices (printers and plotters).
Managing color options Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. However, in some situations, you might want to print a color document in grayscale (black and shades of gray) or to change one of the printer's color options.
Edge Control The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of two components: Adaptive Halftoning and Trapping. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects.
Matching colors The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is quite complex because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color.
