HP Web Jetadmin - Supported Printer Features in HP Web Jetadmin

clear which device or device model a particular setting applies to, holding the mouse over the name
in the configuration settings displays a tooltip with additional information.
Configuration option availability depends on device model, network card and firmware revision. One
model of device may support a configuration option for digital send functionality where another
model, probably a single-function one, does not support that same configuration option. Again, in
fleet scenarios, any configuration option that is set in HP Web Jetadmin will only be applied to device
models for which it is supported. Others will fail and results will indicate successes and failures.
Since different device models support different values for some configuration items, or they expose the
values differently from other models, HP Web Jetadmin must offer the same configuration items
multiple times (see above). Hovering over an entry will display the models to which it applies.
Once all desired configuration items are selected, they can either be applied to selected devices or
saved in a template to be applied at a later date.
VOLATILE CONFIGURATION ITEMS
Some actions performed remotely on devices can cause the device to automatically power cycle or
change in some other way that can impact the success of further configurations. Consider the case
where you are attempting to configure several device parameters, including one parameter that
causes the device to reset itself, which also causes HP Web Jetadmin to lose communication with the
device for a time. Changing a device's IP parameters is a good example. The device (in many cases)
re-initializes and stops communicating for a time.
HP Web Jetadmin has several configuration elements that are known to cause device interrupts and,
therefore, cause a configuration to become volatile or unstable. These items are programmatically
