40 Software features by connection type The HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers can function in one of three installations: Directly connected to a computer. If the printer is connected to a computer running Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, you can share the printer with other network users through Windows sharing. Connected to a network through the internal HP Jetdirect print server (HP Color LaserJet 0Ln and HP Color LaserJet 0n only). Connected to a network through an optional external HP Jetdirect print server (HP Color LaserJet 0L only). Supported configurations This section includes information about the following topics: Direct connection Network connections Direct connection In the direct (or local) configuration, the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer is connected directly to the host computer with an IEEE-1284B parallel or Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable. In this configuration, the printer is not shared. A single user has complete physical control over the printer. You can gain access to all of the capabilities of the printer in this configuration. Network connection options The following networking options are available for the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers. Local connection using Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only) Networked using the internal HP Jetdirect print server (HP Color LaserJet 0Ln and 0n only) Networked with an optional, external HP Jetdirect print server (HP Color LaserJet 0L only) Local connection using Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only) Microsoft Windows allows a person to share a local printer over the network. The operating system handles all of the networking issues. The printer will print in this configuration, but it will not have access to the HP Toolbox. Also, because Microsoft peer-to-peer networking is unidirectional, network users do not receive printer status messages when they print to the printer. Note HP does not support vending drivers across operating systems that have different printer driver architectures, such as HP Traditional drivers and HP Unidrivers. To use mixed operating systems, you must install an alternate print driver and download the driver for the specific operating system as described in the HP customer support document HP Color LaserJet and LaserJet Printers - MS Windows NT 4.0 through MS Windows 2000 and beyond, Print Driver Issues for Operating in a Mixed Operating System Environment. 22 Software features by connection type EN

41 System requirements for peer-to-peer networking The network computers that will be using the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printing-system software need to meet the same requirements as a direct connection for operating systems, processor type and speed, and available hard disk space. Networked using the internal HP Jetdirect print server (HP Color LaserJet 0Ln and 0n only) In this configuration, your HP Color LaserJet 0Ln or HP Color LaserJet 0n printer is connected to a network through the internal HP Jetdirect print server that comes standard with the printer. The printer can be under the direct control of a single user or in a common area with other networked resources. All users on operating systems that support the full printer software have access to the full functionality of the printer. Networked with an optional, external HP Jetdirect print server (HP Color LaserJet 0L only) In this configuration, your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer is connected to a network through an HP Jetdirect print server, such as the HP Jetdirect 300X and 500X (parallel) or the HP Jetdirect en3700 (USB) print servers. The printer can be under the direct control of a single user or in a common area with other networked resources. All users on operating systems that support the full printer software have access to the full functionality of the printer. When networking using a supported optional, external HP Jetdirect print server, you are able to perform nearly all of the functions just as if your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer was directly connected. System requirements for networking using an external HP Jetdirect print server The following are required for your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer to work on an HP Jetdirect network connection. An installed network using the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX network protocol. Note If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, you must configure the HP Jetdirect print server for a direct peer-to-peer connection from the computer to the printer for network users to have the full functionality of your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. If you are setting up peer-to-peer printing ("Windows sharing") on a Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP network, you can use the driver installation software to print directly to the printer. A cable for your type of network connections (not included). This cable is used to connect the HP Jetdirect print server to a network port. A supported HP Jetdirect external print server. The model used depends on the type of network you have and how many HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers (or other devices) you want to connect to the print server. EN Chapter 2 Software overview 23

The HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers can be connected with either the IEEE-1284B port or the USB port. Note For the HP Color LaserJet 0Ln or 0n models, use the internal HP Jetdirect print server to connect more than one computer to one HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. For the HP Color LaserJet 0L model, you must use an optional external HP Jetdirect print server to connect more than one computer to the one HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. EN Chapter 2 Software overview 25

44 Parallel port connections The HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers require a parallel port featuring a bidirectional data bus to be directly connected to the computer. A port which is referred to as an enhanced capabilities port (ECP) or IEEE-1284B qualifies. Extended parallel port only (EPP-only) or unidirectional ports are not supported. However, some ports can be set to EPP/ECP through the CMOS setup or a jumper setting, which is supported. Other parallel port devices Your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer must be directly connected to the computer parallel port. If you have a switch box or other device connected to the parallel port, you must disconnect it prior to connecting and using your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. Another option would be to have two parallel ports installed on the computer. You can use parallel port expansion cards, but HP does not support them. Changing parallel port modes This section provides instructions to help you ensure that the parallel port is configured to provide the best performance with your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. The parallel port mode determines how the parallel port performs with your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. This mode can default to different settings. Unfortunately, the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printing-system software cannot automatically select the best setting. Therefore, you need to check this setting yourself. ECP mode generally provides the best printing performance. Different basic input/output system (BIOS) options frequently exist within a computer manufacturer's range of printers. Changing the parallel port mode is similar for all computers if they have the capability built in. See your computer documentation for specific instructions about changing the parallel mode for your computer. Even though the label on the parallel port mode says ECP, it might not follow the protocol. If the port mode option you click does not work, then try another option in the Setup. If your computer does not have the ECP capability built in, you can install an external parallel port card to add this functionality. In addition to the parallel port mode being set incorrectly, other areas of potential parallel port conflict might exist involving software and hardware from other manufacturers. If none of the options in the Setup allow your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer to communicate with the computer, or you have other devices that need a parallel port, you can add an external ECP parallel port card to your computer. Then, connect your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer to one of the parallel ports and connect the other devices you have to the other parallel port. These parallel port cards are available at computer stores and allow your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer to communicate with your computer without conflicting with other devices. USB port connections USB version 2.0 is an input/output mode that is supported by both PCs and Macs. A wide variety of consumer devices, such as digital cameras and scanners, also support USB. Version 2.0 is the current standard. Note that the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers are compatible with USB version 2.0 specifications. 26 Parallel port connections EN

45 There is a distinction between a USB Host and a USB Device. The HP Color LaserJet 0 series printers are USB Devices. They can only connect to a USB Host or a USB Hub. Device conflicts in Windows When two-way communication cannot be established with the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer, the Windows Device Manager might show a conflict. Conflicts should be resolved immediately before continuing to troubleshoot two-way communication issues. The following sections contain a few guidelines for identifying and resolving these conflicts. Note This process applies to both USB and parallel port devices. However, USB devices are only supported in Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Opening the Windows Device Manager Follow these steps to open the Windows Device Manager. 1 For Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.

61 4 Windows driver features Introduction This chapter includes the following information. PCL 6 and PS unidriver features (for Windows 2000 and Windows XP) PCL 6 and PS traditional driver features (for Windows 98 and Windows Me) Structure and availability of the printing-system software CD Note A PCL 5 driver is not included on the HP Color LaserJet 0 printing-system software CD. However, the legacy PCL 5 drivers are supported through the printer's firmware. PCL 6 and PS unidriver features (for Windows 2000 and Windows XP) This section contains the following information. Access to drivers Help system HP postscript level 3 emulation support Driver tab features Access to drivers To gain access to driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then click Properties. The appearance and names of the driver tabs that appear can vary, depending on the operating system. These settings apply only while the software program is open. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 43

62 You can also control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. These settings change the default settings used across all software programs. In Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, click Printers, right-click the printer name, and then click Printing Preferences to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program controls. In Windows XP, click Start, click Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home) to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program controls. If, after right-clicking the printer name, you click Properties, you gain access to a different set of tabs that control the driver behavior and driver connections. For information about the Properties tabs that are described in this chapter, see the following sections. Printer Properties tab set for the PCL 6 and PS unidrivers (for Windows 2000 and Windows XP) Configure tab features for the PCL 6 traditional driver (for Windows 98 or Windows Me) Device Options tab features for the PS traditional driver (for Windows 98 or Windows Me) Help system The HP Color LaserJet 0 PCL 6 and PS unidrivers include a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options. The following Help options are available. What's this? Help Context-sensitive Help Constraint messages What's this? Help "What's this?" Help is supported in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You can gain access to "What's this?" Help messages in any of the following ways: Right-click a control and click What's this?, and a pop-up Help window appears. Click the? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an arrow with a question mark. Use this special cursor to select a control, and the popup Help window for that feature appears. Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears. Context-sensitive Help Press the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, and context-sensitive Help appears. 44 Help system EN

63 Constraint messages Constraint messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific actions you take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the printer or the current settings of other controls. For example, if you click Print on Both Sides and then change the paper type to Transparency, a message appears asking you to resolve this conflict. Figure 4-1. A typical constraint message Whenever a constraint message appears with Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later buttons, the interpretation of the buttons is as follows: Clicking Restore my previous settings and then clicking OK rejects the change that was just made, setting the control back to its previous value. Clicking Keep this setting, and I will change it later and then clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, allowing you to go back into the driver settings to resolve the conflict. HP postscript level 3 emulation support The HP postscript level 3 emulation maintains full compatibility with Adobe PS Level 3 when PS Level 3 soft fonts are purchased from Adobe. A set of 92 PS Level 3 soft fonts is included with the printing-system software. If you want to permanently install the fonts in the printer, HP postscript level 3 emulation fonts are also available from HP in an optional font DIMM. Users of Adobe-licensed applications might also have the right to use the Adobe PS level 3 printer drivers from Adobe with the HP LaserJet printer postscript level 3 emulation PPD, available on the HP LaserJet printer software CD or from the HP Web site. When using the Adobe PS Level 3 printer driver, users must comply with all Adobe licensing agreements, as stated on the Adobe Web site at EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 45

64 Driver tab features This section describes the options available on each tab of the PCL 6 and PS unidriver interfaces. The following information is included. Printing Preferences tab set Printer Properties tab set Printing Preferences tab set The printer Printing Preferences tabs contain information for formatting documents for the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. You can gain access to the Printing Preferences tabs either through your software program or through the Windows Printers folder. For more information, see the Access to drivers section for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The following tabs are included in Printing Preferences tab set. Advanced tab features Paper/Quality tab features Effects tab features Finishing tab features Color tab features Services tab features 46 Driver tab features EN

65 Advanced tab features You can use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special controls that are not commonly used, as well as features such as paper size and copies in the driver. The following illustration shows the Advanced tab. Figure 4-2. Advanced tab - HP PCL 6 unidriver EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 47

66 Figure 4-3. Advanced tab - HP PS unidriver The Advanced tab contains the following controls. Paper/Output settings Graphic settings Document Options settings Paper/Output settings The Paper/Output settings contain the following options. Copy Count setting Copy Count setting This driver setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available in the software program, set the copy count in the software program. Copy Count specifies the number of copies to print. 48 Driver tab features EN

67 The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count option. You can select the number by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999 for the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as nonnumerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1. Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible. Graphic settings The Graphic settings contain the following options. Image Color Management settings. TrueType Font settings. Image Color Management settings This control lists the available Image Color Management (ICM) options used for printing color graphics. ICM, a set of calculations for color matching, makes it possible for programs to adjust colors before printing so that the color of images displayed on the screen more closely match the color of images when printed. The following options are available: ICM Method. The ICM Method setting specifies how to print your color graphics To enable Image Color Management, click ICM Disabled. If you want the calculations for color matching to be performed on the host computer before it sends the document to the printer, click ICM Handled by Host System. If you want the calculations for color matching to be performed on your printer, click ICM Handled by Printer. In this case, a set of rules for mapping the colors will be created and downloaded to the printer (which must be PostScript language level 2 or higher). The printer will use these rules to adjust colors in the document. ICM Intent.The ICM Intent setting specifies how color images are created to produce the best looking image on the printed page. If you are printing a chart or using fully saturated, bright colors, it is best to click Graphics. For photographs or pictures where the colors blend together, click Pictures to maximize the contrast. If your document uses a color that you need to match exactly, and you are sending the document to a printer that has that specific color of ink, click Proof. If you want to preview the color settings from another printer, click Match. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 49

68 TrueType Font settings This option specifies the TrueType font settings. The following settings are available. Substitute with Device Font. This setting causes the printer to use equivalent fonts for printing documents that contain TrueType fonts. This permits faster printing; however, you might lose special characters that the printer font does not support. This is the default setting. Download as Softfont. This setting causes TrueType fonts to be downloaded and used for printing, instead of using printer fonts. Document Options The Document Options settings contain the following controls. Advanced Printing Features Color Printing Mode (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) Print Optimizations (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) PostScript Options (HP PS unidriver only) Advanced Printing Features When the Advanced Printing Features setting is Enabled, metafile spooling is turned on and Finishing tab options such as Page Order, Booklet Layout, and Pages per Sheet are available, depending on your product. For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features setting at the default (Enabled). If compatibility problems occur, you can disable the feature. However, some advanced printing features might still be available in the print driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced printing feature in the print driver that has been disabled on the Advanced tab, the feature is automatically re-enabled. Color Printing Mode (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) The Color Printing Mode specifies whether to print in color or black and white. The default setting istrue Color (24 bpp). Use themonochrome mode to sharpen details in graphics or to speed up the printing of your color document. Print Optimizations (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) The default setting for Print Optimizations is Enabled. When this feature is enabled and your document contains overlapping text and graphics, text placed on top of a graphic might not print correctly. If the printed output is not correct, you can disable this feature. When disabled, print optimization features, such as substituting device fonts for TrueType fonts and scanning for horizontal and vertical rules, are turned off. 50 Driver tab features EN

69 PostScript Options (HP PS unidriver only) The following PostScript options appear in the HP PS unidriver. Figure 4-4. Advanced tab - HP PS unidriver - PostScript Options PostScript Output Option TrueType Font Download Option PostScript Language Level Send PostScript Error Handler Mirrored Output PostScript Output option The PostScript Output Option specifies the output format for PS files. Generally, you use the default setting, Optimize for Speed, to print your documents. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 51

70 To create a file that conforms to the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions (ADSC), click Optimize for Portability. Each page of the document will be a self-contained object. This is useful if you want to create a PS file and print it on a different product. If you want to include the file as an image in another document that is printed from a different software program, click Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). The Archive Format creates a PS file you can use later. TrueType Font Download option The TrueType Font Download Option specifies how TrueType fonts are downloaded. The default setting of Automatic allows the PS driver to decide which format is best. If you want to download the TrueType font as a scalable outline font, click Outline. To download the TrueType font as a bitmap font, click Bitmap. If your printer is a TrueType rasterizer printer, click Native TrueType to download the TrueType font as an outline font. PostScript Language Level The PostScript Language Level option specifies which PS language level to use, from 1 to 3. The highest level supported by the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer is 3, and this is the default setting. Some printers support multiple levels. It is usually best to select the highest number available, because a higher language level provides more features. In some instances, you should use level 1, such as if you are printing a file to disk, and that file will be printed by someone with a level-1 printer. Send PostScript Error Handler The Send PostScript Error Handler setting specifies whether a PS error handler message is sent. If you want the printer to print an error page when an error occurs in the print job, click Yes. The default setting is Yes. Mirrored Output This control specifies mirrored output. Click Yes to print a mirror image of your document by reversing the horizontal coordinates. The default setting is No. Printer Features The following Printer Features are available: Print All Text as Black Send True Type as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) Raster Compression (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) Print All Text as Black The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic. Print All Text as Black remains enabled only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed, Print All Text as Black is automatically disabled. 52 Driver tab features EN

71 Send TrueType as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for those software programs that have trouble using TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are first converted to bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the printer as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts. Raster Compression (HP PCL 6 unidriver only) Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics compression method: Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use. Best Quality. Forces the software to use a lossless compression method. (Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.) Maximum Compression. Where applicable, requires the software to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost). Choosing this option increases the print speed performance, but does decrease print image quality. Layout Options The Layout Options section includes the following option. Page Order Page Order Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back prints the document so that page 1 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1 prints last. The Back to Front setting is useful if you are printing to a face-up output bin to achieve output in the correct order. Note The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of paper rather than on individual logical pages. Accordingly, if you set Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) to be greater than one, the ordering of logical pages on a physical sheet of paper does not change. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 53

72 Paper/Quality tab features Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify the size, type, and source of the media for your HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer. You can also use this tab to indicate different paperselection choices for the first page, other pages, and back cover of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper/Quality tab. Figure 4-5. Paper/Quality tab The Paper/Quality tab contains the following controls: Print Task Quick Sets group box Paper Options group box Document preview image Print Task Quick Sets The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the Paper/Quality tab affects most of the Printing Preferences driver tabs (the Paper/Quality, Effects, Finishing, and Job Storage tabs) because they are all the same control. 54 Driver tab features EN

73 Print Task Quick Sets is a setting that is used to store the current combination of driver settings that are found all on of the other print driver tabs (except the Advanced tab, where the setting is not available). Print Task Quick Sets are either preset by network-administrator settings or userdefined printing specifications (such as media size, pages per sheet, and so on). The Print Task Quick Sets control does not appear on the driver Properties tabs. Note Administrators can predefine Print Task Quick Sets for their users. These administrator Print Task Quick Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but usually cannot be modified by users. Users can also define Print Task Quick Sets for their own use. Userdefined Print Task Quick Sets are described later in this section. The following selections are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu: Default Print Settings User Guide Print Settings Type a new Quick Set name here Default Print Settings When you select Default Print Settings, nearly all of the settings are restored to the combination that existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the attribute combinations that are associated with watermark definitions, custom paper sizes, or the User Guide Print Settings quick set have been changed or deleted, the original settings are not restored. Type a new Quick Set name here appears in the Print Task Quick Sets menu automatically if no other driver settings have been changed since the driver was installed, or if all of the driver settings match the original settings. Otherwise, the setting in the Print Task Quick Sets menu is the same label that appeared when you last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking OK. User Guide Print Settings The User Guide Print Settings option provides a Print Task Quick Sets for optimal printing of the HP Color LaserJet 0 series User Guide. Type new Quick Set name here By default, the Print Task Quick Sets menu is set to Type new Quick Set name here. When you change any of the default settings on any of the Printing Preferences driver tabs and you want to save the configuration as a Print Task Quick Set, highlight the words Type new Quick Set name here, type the name you want for your new Print Task Quick Set, and then click Save. Print Task Quick Sets are saved in the system registry. To delete a Print Task Quick Set, select it from the drop-down menu and click Delete. Note Administrators can predefine Print Task Quick Sets for their users. These administrator Print Task Quick Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but usually cannot be modified by users. Users can also define Print Task Quick Sets for their own use. Userdefined Print Task Quick Sets are described later in this section. You can store a maximum of 25 Print Task Quick Sets on a particular system. If you attempt to save too many, a message box appears that reads, "There are too many Print Task Quick Sets defined. Please delete some before adding new ones." EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 55

74 Paper Options group box The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper Options group box and the selections available by default. Figure 4-6. Paper Options group box The appearance of the Paper Options group box changes when the Use Different Paper/ Covers check box is selected. The settings in the Paper Options group box are described below in the following order. Size is: Source Is: drop-down menu Type is: drop-down menu Use Different Paper/Covers options Size is: The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes. You can specify size for all the settings in the Paper Options group box. You must use the same size of media for the entire print job. That is, if the print job uses Letter-size media, any option that you select from the available Use Different Paper options must also use Letter-size media. Note Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes within a single document. For the Other Pages and Back Cover settings, you can select a source (tray) and media type that differ from the settings selected for First Page. If a conflict exists among media source, media size, and/or media type, and you choose to keep the conflicting settings, the settings are processed in the following order: media size, media type, and then media source. 56 Driver tab features EN

75 Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software applications, it is generally best to use the driver to set media size only for software applications that lack a mediasize setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes. Note When you use a software program with a media-size setting, you can specify different media sizes within a single document using the Use Different Paper/Covers options. For more information, see Use Different Paper/Covers options. For information about media sizes, see the section of this guide. Use Different Paper/Covers check box When the Use Different Paper check box is selected and different options are configured, the Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: menus change, offering a variety of options. For more information, see Use Different Paper/Covers check box. Source Is: drop-down menu The Source is: setting specifies the source tray to use for printing a document. The list of source trays depends on the printer accessories. Any optional source trays that are installed through the Device Settings tab also appear here. The Source is: drop-down menu can contain the following options: Automatically select Printer Auto Select Manual Feed in Tray 1 Tray 1 (125-sheet multipurpose tray) Tray 2 (250-sheet tray; optional for the HP Color LaserJet 0L and 0Ln) Tray 3 (500-sheet tray; optional) The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the printer uses the source tray that supports the media size that you have selected. If you select a source tray other than Automatically select, make sure that the correct media size is loaded in the source tray. For information about media sources, see the section of this guide. Type is: drop-down menu The Type is: drop-down menu shows all the paper types that the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer supports. When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the printer uses the default media type, which is usually Plain. No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the printer when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information returned is an updated list of media types. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom media types saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the driver. The following standard paper types appear in the lists. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 57

81 Resizing options group box The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls. Actual Size (default) Print Document On setting Scale to Fit option % of Normal Size setting Actual Size setting Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size. Print Document On setting Select the Print Document On option button to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size. The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions: The % of Normal Size value is not 100. The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1. When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard media sizes that are supported by the selected media source and any custom sizes that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically selected. Scale to Fit option The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for legal-size paper with the Print Document On check box selected, and the target size specified as Letter. Figure Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right) When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target page size. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 63

82 % of Normal Size option The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100 percent of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the printer. The limits of the range are from 25 percent to 400 percent, and any values outside the range are adjusted to those limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed or another control is selected). Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upper-left corner of the preview. The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator is dragged, and the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the scale by one percent. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10 percent. You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Windows resolution; use the scroll bar indicator to approximate the desired value, and then use the scroll bar arrows to refine the value. The following settings disable % of Normal Size: Print Document On (on the Effects tab) is selected Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1 Document preview image The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side up. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of most Printing Preferences driver tabs (the Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects and Color tabs). Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the document preview image. Watermarks group box Use the Watermarks feature to choose a watermark, create your own custom watermarks (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver. (none) Confidential Draft SAMPLE The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus the string "(none)", which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark selected from this list appears in the preview image. 64 Driver tab features EN

83 When the First Page Only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is "(none)". Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per Sheet is set to "4" and First Page Only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page). Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears. Figure Watermark Details The dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating a new watermark and controlling the message angle and font attributes. Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box. However, clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes. If you make changes to a watermark, and then select a different watermark or click New, all of the changes made to the previous watermark are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled. Current watermarks The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks made available in the driver and any new watermarks you have created. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 65

84 To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as "Untitled" until you name it. The name that you type in the Watermark Message field appears in the Current Watermarks group box in the Watermark Details dialog box and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab. To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box. To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete. A warning appears asking whether you are sure you want to delete the selected item. Click Cancel if you want to keep the watermark. Click OK to delete the selected watermark. Note You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When you reach the limit of 30 watermarks, the New button is disabled. To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark. Watermark message The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you might want several different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on). Message angle Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations in relation to the page's text. The settings are Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom). The default is Diagonal. All three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. Horizontal places the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. Angle places the text at the specified angle across the page. Font attributes Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style of the font. The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls.

100 The HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer supports more than one source of media. You can assign a form (which defines the media size and margins) to each of your printer media sources. When a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print. The printer prints from the tray to which that form is assigned. Network administrators can use the Form to Tray Assignment setting to specify, in the driver, the media size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are available in the media-size list on the Advanced tab in the Printing Preferences driver tabs. This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the printer with paper-mount messages that occur when users request sizes or types that are not available. The trays listed in the Form to Tray Assignment setting include standard trays and optional accessory trays. Generally, items that are installed separately have a separate Installable Options setting.

The following settings are available. Automatic(default). When this setting is used, the printer driver determines and applies the best compression method. Best Quality. This setting forces the driver to use a compression method that results in no loss of data. Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this setting requires the printer driver to use JPEG compression. Choosing this option increases the print speed performance, but does decrease print image quality. Output Settings group box The Output Settings group box contains the following options. Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) The Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature is implemented to address the moiré effect created when certain applications encounter certain patterns. Use this feature to turn off the pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns, but the printed result might look better. The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch patterns. This option is on by default. Print all Text as Black Print all Text as Black is off by default. When selected, this option causes the driver to print all text as black regardless of the original document text color. By design, however, white text remains white, as a fail-safe method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background. This setting does not affect graphic images on the page. Print all Text as Black remains selected only for the current print job. Font Settings group box In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which provides a safety net for applications that cannot easily use TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting.

The preview image appears in the upper right corner of all properties tabs except for the Configure tab. For more information, see the Document preview image section of this guide. Fit To Page The Fit to Page group box includes features that scale the image on the page, either by specifying a numeric percentage or by specifying a scale change to a different paper size. Fit to Page handles scale transformations. Print Document On setting Use Print Document On to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the page image to fit the new paper size. The Print Document On control is disabled by any of the following conditions. Percent of Normal Size is not 100. Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1. When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print. The list contains all standard media sizes supported by the selected media source and any custom sizes that you have created (if the currently selected media source is manual, auto, or any tray). When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically selected. Scale to Fit option The Scale to Fit option specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for Legal paper with the Print Document On option selected, and the target size specified as Letter. Figure Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right) When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target page size. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 103

122 % of Normal Size option The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100 percent of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the application (if the application does not negotiate paper size with the driver). The driver will scale the page by the appropriate factor and send it to the printer. The limits of the range are from 25 percent to 400 percent, and any values outside the range are clipped to those limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the TAB key is pressed or another control is selected). Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the top-left corner of the preview. The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator is dragged, and the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the scale by one percent. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10 percent. You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Windows resolution; use the scroll bar indicator to approximate the desired value, and then use the scroll bar arrows to refine the value. The following settings disable % of Normal Size: Print Document On is selected. Pages per Sheet is not 1. Booklet Printing is ON. Watermarks Use the Watermarks feature to choose a watermark, create your own custom watermarks (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver. (none) Confidential Draft SAMPLE The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus the string (none), which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark selected from this list appears in the preview image. When First Page Only is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is (none). Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per Sheet is set to 4 and First Page Only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page). 104 Effects tab features EN

123 Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears. Figure Watermark Details dialog box The dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating new watermark and controlling the message angle and font attributes. Click OK to accept all changes made in the Watermark Details dialog box. However, clicking Cancel does not cancel all changes. If you make changes to a watermark, and then select a different watermark or click New, all changes made to the previous watermark are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled. Current Watermarks The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks made available in the driver and any new watermarks you have created. To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as Untitled until you name it. To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box. To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete.

124 Note You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled, and a Bubble Help appears that explains why the button is disabled and how to enable it. To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark. Watermark Message The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarkss list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you might want several different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different font or size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique. Message Angle Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in a Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom) orientation to the page's text. The default is Diagonal. All three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. Font Attributes Use controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the color, shading, size, and style of the font. Name The Name drop-down menu lists TrueType (TM) fonts that are currently installed on the system. Color The color selection combo box provides a fixed, unalterable set of color choices, in palette/color name-pair form, for the watermark.

You must use the same size of media for the entire print job. That is, if the print job uses Letter-size media, any option that you select from the available Use Different Paper options must also use Letter-size media. Note Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes within a single document. For the Other Pages and Back Cover settings, you can select a source (tray) and media type that differ from the settings selected for First Page. If a conflict exists among media source, media size, and/or media type, and you choose to keep the conflicting settings, the settings are processed in the following order: media size, media type, and then media source. Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software applications, it is generally best to use the driver to set media size only for software applications that lack a mediasize setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes. Note When you use a software program with a media-size setting, you can specify different media sizes within a single document using the Use Different Paper/Covers options.

If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu and the other controls in the dialog box have not been changed since then, the Name dropdown menu displays the name of the last selected custom paper size. If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was selected or saved, or if a saved paper size has just been deleted, then the Name drop-down menu displays the default name of Untitled. If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the drop-down menu display until a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu. If you type a new name into the Name drop-down menu, but then do not click the Save button, you should be able to change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if a saved paper-size name is selected from the drop-down menu, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning, and replaced by the values of the selected custom paper size. Dynamic command button The button located to the right of the Name drop-down menu has three possible labels: Save, Delete, and Rename. Save is the button title whenever the height and width values have been changed since the last save or since the selection of an existing custom paper size. Clicking the button causes the name in the Name drop-down menu to be compared against each of the saved names. If a duplicate is found, a dialog box appears, asking if it is okay to replace the existing item. If you click Yes, the old item is updated with the new values. If you click No, the driver returns to the Custom Paper Size dialog box, where you can type a different name. The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom paper names, and not against the standard paper-size names. Whenever the command button has the Save title, it is the default button. Delete is the button title whenever the name of an existing (previously saved) custom paper size appears in the Name drop-down menu, such as immediately after selecting an item from the drop-down menu or clicking the Save button. Clicking the Delete button causes the saved custom paper size to be deleted, after which the Name drop-down menu changes to Untitled, the height and width controls are unchanged, and the button title changes to Save. Rename is the button title when you type something into the Name drop-down menu after selecting an existing custom paper size from the drop-down menu. If no duplicate is found, the name of the stored custom paper size changes to match the contents of the Name dropdown menu. Whenever the command button has the Rename title, it is also the default button. The following table illustrates the relationships between the Name drop-down menu, the command button, and the actions that take users from one state to another. 112 Paper tab features EN

Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. See the Custom width and height control limits section of this guide. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 113

132 If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and height entries are validated when the focus has changed. The resolution of each control is one millimeter or one-tenth of an inch, depending upon the current measurement units. Clicking the up and down arrows increases or decreases the current value by the increment amount (within the allowed range of values). The computer determines the rate at which the values change. Unit indicator labels change dynamically to indicate inches or millimeters, depending upon the measurement units the driver is currently using. To change measurement units, click the Measurement Units button. Custom width and height control limits The minimum paper size for the HP Color LaserJet 0 series printer is 76 mm by 127 mm (3.0 inches by 5.0 inches) and the maximum is 216 mm by 356 mm (8.5 inches by 14.0 inches).

When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the printer uses the default media type, which is usually Plain. No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the printer when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information returned is an updated list of media types. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom media types saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the driver. The following standard paper types appear in the lists.

139 Copies group box The Copies feature allows you to specify the number of copies to print. The number of copies you request appears in the Copies box. You can select the number by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the edit box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (999) when the down arrow is used. Invalid entries into the edit box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1 or greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value entered when you click on another group box or leave the Basics tab. The default number of copies is 1. Because applications can also be used to set the desired number of copies, conflicts between the application and the driver can arise. In most cases, the application and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the application) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some applications, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these applications, setting 10 copies in the application and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended to set the number of copies in the application, wherever possible. Orientation Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the manner in which media is fed into the printer. You can specify the orientation of the print job. Orientation can toggle between portrait and landscape by left-clicking the preview image. If you check Rotate by 180 degrees, there is no change in the preview image.

143 The Manual Color Options dialog box gives you independent control of neutral grays and halftone for the three major page components: text, graphics, and photographs. The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the printer firmware. The options are Black Only or 4-Color. Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and blacks) using only black toner which ensures that neutral colors do not have a color cast. 4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible black. The Halftone setting controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded in the printer firmware. The Halftone options, Smooth and Detail, affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You cannot independently adjust halftone settings for text, graphics, and photos. For example, if you choose the Smooth setting for Text, you will also set Photos and Graphics to Smooth. Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option for uniform and smooth area fills. Cyan lines per inch (lpi) Magenta lpi Yellow lpi Black lpi Detail. This option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or high level of detail. Choose this option for sharp edges and detail. Cyan lpi Magenta lpi Yellow lpi Black lpi The Color Options settings are Edge Control and RGB Color. Edge Control, which determines how edges are rendered, consists of two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases the edge sharpness of text and graphics while maintaining the quality of area fills. Trapping reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. The following options are available: Off, which sets Trapping and Adaptive Halftoning to Off. Light, which provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On. Normal, which provides the default Trapping setting. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On. Maximum, which provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On. EN Chapter 4 Windows driver features 125

144 Settings under RGB Color affect the color treatment for all objects and determines how colors are rendered. The options are Default (srgb), Vivid, and Device. Default. This option interprets RGB color as standard default RGB color space (srgb), which is the accepted standard for many software companies and organizations, such as Microsoft and the Worldwide Web Consortium. Vivid. This option sets the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics. Note This setting uses the SRGB color table for the HP Color LaserJet 2500 product. Device (srgb). This option sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the application in which you are working or in the operating system.
