| settings: | ||
| ● RELEASE: Select whether to release (YES) or save (NO) the current lease. | ||
| ● RENEW: Select whether to renew (YES or NO) the lease. | ||
| AUTO IP=YES* Automatically assign a link-local IPv4 address in the form 169.254.x.x. | ||

● KEEP (default): Maintain the address in an active state.
● DISABLE: Maintain the address but in an inactive state.
Print an HP Jetdirect configuration page to verify your settings. (The print server can overwrite selected parameters with values that ensure proper operation.)
