Figure 4 Printer Software

The printer drivers provided on the compact disc must be installed to take full advantage of the printer's features. The other software programs are recommended, but are not required for operation. See the ReadMe file for more information.

Note Network Administrators: HP JetAdmin should be installed only on the network administrator's computer. Load all other applicable software on the server and all client computers.

The most recent drivers, additional drivers, and other software are available from the Internet. Depending on the configuration of Windows-driven computers, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the computer for Internet access to obtain the latest software. If you do not have access to the Internet, see the HP Support pages at the front of this user's guide to obtain the most recent software.

Printer drivers access the printer features and allow the computer to communicate with the printer (via a printer language).

Note Check the ReadMe file provided on the compact disc for additional software included and supported languages.

Certain printer features are available only from the PCL 6 driver. See the printer software help for availability of features.

Drivers Included with the Printer

The following printer drivers are included with the printer. The most recent drivers are available on the Internet. Depending on the configuration of Windows computers, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the computer for Internet access to obtain the latest drivers.

PCL 5e PCL 6 PS1

Windows 3.1x

Windows 95

Windows NT 3.512

Windows NT 4.0

Macintosh computer PPDs are included (page 19).

1. Hewlett-Packard's PostScript Level 1 Emulation for Windows 3.1x; Level 2 Emulation for all other operating systems.

2. The PCL 5e driver is available from the Internet. (See the HP support pages at the front of this user's guide.)

Macintosh computer PPDs are included (page 19).

1. Hewlett-Packard's PostScript Level 1 Emulation for Windows 3.1x; Level 2 Emulation for all other operating systems.

2. The PCL 5e driver is available from the Internet. (See the HP support pages at the front of this user's guide.)

Within the computer installation program, select Typical Install to install the PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PS drivers and HP FontSmart. Select Custom Install to install only the software you prefer, or if you are a network administrator. Select Minimum Install to install only the PCL 6 driver for basic printing.

Additional Drivers

You can obtain the following printer drivers by downloading them from the Internet, or by requesting them from an HP-authorized service or support provider. (See the HP Support pages at the front of this user's guide.)

• WordPerfect 5.1 printer driver

• Windows NT 3.51 PCL 5e printer driver

*The OS/2 drivers are also available from IBM, and are packaged with OS/2.

Note If the desired printer driver is not on the compact disc or is not listed here, check the software application's installation disks or ReadMe files to see if they include support for the printer. If not, contact the software manufacturer or distributor and request a driver for the printer.

Use the Typical Install or Custom Install option to install the HP software. (This includes several printer drivers. For more information, see page 13.)

Note Network Administrators: If the printer is attached to a network, before you can print, the printer must be configured for that network using Hp JetAdmin or similar network software. (See the getting started guide.)

Access the Windows Printer Driver

To configure the driver, access it in one of the following ways:

Operating System

Temporarily Change Settings (from a software application)

Change Default Settings (across all applications)

Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0

From the File menu, click Print, and then click Properties. (The actual steps can vary; this is the most common method.)

Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the printer icon, and choose Properties.

Windows 3.1x and Windows NT 3.51

From the File menu, click Print, click Printers, and then click Options. (The actual steps can vary; this is the most common method.)

From the Windows control panel, double-click Printers, highlight the printer, and click Setup.

Note Settings in the printer driver and software application override control panel settings. (Software application settings override printer driver settings.)

Choose the Right Printer Driver for Your Needs

Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.

• Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printer's features. Unless backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended.

• Use the PCL 5e driver if you want print results to look comparable to those from older printers. Certain features are not available in this driver. (Do not use the PCL 5e driver provided with this printer with older printers.)

• Use the PS driver for compatibility with PostScript Level 2 needs. Certain features are not available in this driver.

The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.

Printer Driver Help

Each printer driver has help screens that can be activated either from the Help button, the F1 key, or a question mark symbol in the upper right corner in the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system used). These help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver help is separate from the software application help.

HP ToolBox

Access HP ToolBox from a printer icon on the desktop in Windows 3.1x or on the Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 Taskbar. HP ToolBox provides one-step access to the current status of the printer and a list of all available features, including the following:

• printer status

From HP ToolBox you can launch utilities such as HP JobMonitor. If you choose not to use HP ToolBox, it can be disabled. See the printer software help.

HP JobMonitor

HP JobMonitor is a component of HP ToolBox that shows the position of print jobs in the queue, which print jobs have been printed, and who sent them. To access JobMonitor, right-click the tray icon in HP ToolBox, and then select Jobs from the Contents menu.

HP FontSmart

Access HP FontSmart from the HP LaserJet folder or through HP ToolBox. HP FontSmart is a font management utility (for Windows only) which does the following:

• installs, uninstalls, and deletes fonts

• manages fonts inside a single window by allowing you to drag-and-drop

• shows the 110 matching screen fonts for the internal fonts in the printer

• downloads fonts to a mass storage device

Note With Windows 3.1x and Windows 95, you can use HP FontSmart to download fonts to a mass storage device. Types of fonts supported are TrueType, PostScript Type 1 and PostScript Type 42 (TrueType fonts converted to PostScript format). To download Type 1 fonts, Adobe Type Manager must be installed and turned on.

HP JetSend Communications Technology

HP JetSend can be installed through an installer on the compact disc. HP JetSend is a new technology from Hewlett-Packard that allows network devices to communicate with each other directly. Devices which HPIj-^-i- Ç» /" contain the HP JetSend technology can jEX/^anCL exchange information directly with other devices connected via the Internet or intranet. Sending devices can include scanners and computers. Receiving devices can include printers and computers. In addition to sending and receiving documents, you can view documents using the HP JetView software.

HP JetSend technology enables flexible, direct communications between network devices using simple IP addressing. HP JetSend enables simple, targeted, information exchange that is independent of both servers and applications. This means that users can easily exchange information directly between Internet-connected devices like printers and scanners (and other devices in the future).

HP JetSend capabilities can be integrated into the Microsoft Windows environment. For example, using devices enabled with HP JetSend, you can capture a document with a scanner (or create a document using computer software) for distribution via the Internet to several users. Users can receive the document in their computer's InBox or print directly to their HP LaserJet 4000 series printer.
