EIO Menu
The EIO (enhanced input/output) Menu appears only when an EIO
device is installed in an EIO slot on the printer (such as an HP
JetDirect print server). The items in the menu depend on the
particular accessory product installed. If the printer contains an HP
JetDirect print server EIO card, you can configure basic networking
parameters using the EIO Menu. These and other parameters can
also be configured through HP Web JetAdmin.
