Supported network protocols
The printer supports the TCP/IP network protocol, the most widely used and accepted networking protocol. Many networking services utilize this protocol. For more information, see TCP/IP. The following table lists the supported networking services and protocols.
Printing

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.

Messaging and management
| Service name
| Description

| HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)
| Allows Web browsers to communicate with embedded Web server.
|
| EWS (embedded Web server)
| Allows a user to manage the device through a Web browser.
|
| SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
| Used by network applications for device management. SNMP v1 and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base) objects are supported.
|
IP addressing
| Service name
| Description
|
| DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
| For automatic IP address assignment. The DHCP server provides the printer with an IP address. Generally, no user intervention is required for the printer to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
|
| BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
| For automatic IP address assignment. The BOOTP server provides the printer with an IP address. Requires the administrator to input a device’s MAC hardware address on the BOOTP server for the printer 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 printer uses this service to generate a unique IP address.
