Driver configuration for Windows

The HP print drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in supported environments, provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for product accessories at the time of installation.

Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional paper trays, printer hard disk, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Driver autoconfiguration

Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the following circumstances:

● When a print driver is installed by using the installer

● When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed

However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and Update Now are not available in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating systems over a direct connection (USB) when the product is installed by using the Add Printer

Wizard.

Table 1-6 Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication

1

Connection type Add Printer Wizard install Common installer

Network Yes Yes

1

Direct connection No Yes

The table applies to Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Bidirectional communication

In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.

Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the computer and report information back, such as what type of print paper is available or what accessories are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer.

Enterprise AutoConfiguration

Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the printing-system software CD or the Add Printer Wizard to install the driver. Driver installation that includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the product.

Configuration occurs without user interaction.


If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.

If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectionalcommunication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the print driver with the actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or whenever the Update Now feature is used.

If the product configuration changes after installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication by using the Update Now

feature. For more information, see Update Now on page 15 .

Update Now

If you have modified the configuration of the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603

Series Printer product since installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. Use the Update Now feature to automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver.

For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use the Update Now feature to query the product and update the settings to match the new product configuration.

The feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the Device Settings tab.

NOTE: Depending on which settings were updated, the Update Now feature might change the configuration information that displays on the print-driver tabs, instead of (or in addition to) changing the information on the Device Settings tab.

NOTE: The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows XP clients are connected to Windows XP hosts.

To activate the Update Now feature, follow these steps:

1.

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, click the Start button, click the Control Panel item, click the

Hardware and Sound item, and then click the Printers item.

In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, click the Start button, click the Settings item, and then open the Printers and Faxes item.

2.

Right-click the product name.

3.

Click the Properties item, or the Printer Properties item in Windows 7 and Server 2008.

4.

Click the Device Settings tab.

5.

If necessary, click the Installable Options list to expand it and show the options.

6.

In the Automatic Configuration drop-down menu, select the Update Now item.

7.

Click the OK button to save the setting.

ENWW Driver configuration for Windows 15

HP Driver Configuration

HP Driver Configuration is a software architecture and set of tools that permits HP printing-system software to be customized and distributed in managed corporate printing environments. Using

HP Driver Configuration, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise environments can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP print drivers before installing the drivers in the network environment.

HP Driver Configuration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple workstations or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be configured:

● Product settings

● Printing-preferences settings

The driver is configured to match the product hardware so that access to all of the product accessories through the driver is enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional input trays).

Most driver-feature settings can also be configured.

HP Driver Configuration configures the driver to match the accessories that are installed on the product, or to match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration (.CFG) file (for example, optional trays, total amount of memory, job-storage settings, or mopier settings).

The configuration process consists of three basic steps:

● Driver acquisition

● Driver configuration

● Driver installation and deployment

These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.

The driver configuration process is supported through three distinct tools. All three are designed with the same basic user-interface (UI) controls for interacting with the .CFG file, but are packaged differently, either to support established product installation workflows or to leave the deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user. The following tools support driver preconfiguration:

● HP Driver Configuration Utility. The HP Driver Configuration Utility is a small, standalone,

Windows-software program that the administrator can use to open the .CFG file that is associated with a particular driver and make modifications that are applied when that driver is installed on the target computer. It is intended for use in environments that have an established process for deploying drivers. This is the preconfiguration tool of choice to support any Novell or HP Print

Server Appliance (PSA) and Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary

Windows software program is used.

The HP Driver Configuration Utility is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/dcu

◦ HP Driver Deployment Utility. The HP Driver Deployment Utility (HP DDU) was created to simplify the deployment of print drivers onto a client computer. It is a simple utility that packages the print-driver files, and the code needed to deploy them, into two files: an .EXE


ENWW file and a .CAB file. These files are run on the client computer to copy the print-driver files to the Windows driver store and, for network packages, to install the product. This utility is supported on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista operating systems.

● HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queue-creation program that can be used to create printer queues on Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration adds a number of screens to the existing queue-creation workflow from which the drivers that are being installed for the queues can be customized as part of the process. HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration is limited to Internet Explorer browsers.

Netscape Navigator is not supported.

HP Web Jetadmin is supported by the following:

◦ Windows XP (Professional only)

◦ Windows Server 2003 (R2 only)

◦ Windows Server 2008

◦ Windows Vista (Business and Enterprise Editions)

◦ Windows 7

The HP Web Jetadmin print management features are supported by the following:

◦ Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2 or higher)

◦ Windows Server 2003

To gain access to the HP DDU, insert the software CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then navigate to the

Driver Deployment Utility folder.

For detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools, see the HP Driver

Configuration Support Guide at the following Web site and click on the Manuals link.

3 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

Introduction

This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series

Printer PCL 6 Print Driver for, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), Windows Server

2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).

You can control print jobs from several places:

● the product control panel

● the software program print dialog box

● the driver user interface

Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print-driver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.

When you install the printing-system software in Windows, the HP PCL 6 Print Driver is installed by default through the installer. The HP PS Universal Print Driver and the HP PCL 5 Universal Print Driver and the HP PCL 6 Universal Print Driver can be installed by downloading the software from the Web.

ENWW Change the print driver settings for Windows 53

Help system

The HP PCL 6 Print Driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.

HP Printer Help

Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 support HP Printer Help . You can gain access to HP Printer Help messages in any of the following ways:

● Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears.

● Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key. The Help window for the currently selected control appears.

Incompatible Print Settings messages

Incompatible Print Settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the product capabilities or the current settings of other controls.

NOTE: Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept some settings that are illogical or impossible for the product to perform. Sending a job with incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check the product documentation for the product capabilities.

In supported Windows operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations result in warning messages. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency paper type is selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print Settings message.

Figure 3-1 An Incompatible Print Settings message

54

To resolve the conflicting settings, click Restore my previous settings., and then click OK. The driver resets the conflicting control back to its previous state.

If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click Keep this setting, and I will change it later., and then click OK.

NOTE: In this example, the conflict can be resolved manually. If the conflict is not resolved when the driver is closed, then the same dialog appears again when a print job is sent to the product.

Chapter 3 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows ENWW

Advanced tab features

NOTE: The Advanced tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set.

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 to control features such as collating and copies in the driver (although most current software programs support these features in the print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the Advanced tab.

Figure 3-2 The default appearance of the Advanced tab

The Advanced tab contains the following controls:

●

Paper/Output

●

Graphic

●

Document Options

Paper/Output

The Paper/Output setting contains the Copy Count setting.

ENWW Advanced tab features 55

Copy Count

Copy Count specifies the number of copies to print. 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.

The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count option. You can select the number by typing in the text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999. 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 text box

(such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the text 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, whenever possible.

When the Copy Count option is set to more than 1, the Collated check box becomes available.

Select this check box when you want the product to collate (collect and combine in proper order) the printed copies. Most current software programs support the collating feature in the print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program.

Graphic

The Graphic setting contains the following control:

● True Type Font settings

True Type Font

Use Substitute with Device Font (the default setting) to print documents that contain TrueType fonts by using equivalent printer based fonts. This permits faster printing; however, you might lose special characters that the equivalent printer based font does not support. Select Download as Softfont to download TrueType fonts for printing instead of using printer based fonts.

Document Options

The Document Options setting contains the following controls:

●

Advanced Printing Features

●

Print Optimizations

●

Printer Features

●

Layout Options


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.

Enhanced metafile spooling is used to greatly reduce the amount of time that elapses between a request to print (initiated by an application) and the return of control to the application by the operating system.

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 appear 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.

Print Optimizations

The default setting for Print Optimizations is Enabled. When this feature is enabled and your document contains overlapping text and graphics, the text that is placed on top of a graphic might not print correctly. If the printed output is not correct, you can disable this feature. When this feature is disabled, print optimization-features, such as substituting device fonts for TrueType fonts and scanning for horizontal and vertical rules, are turned off.

Printer Features

The Printer Features setting contains the following controls:

● Print All Text as Black

The 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.

● Send True Type as Bitmap

Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for software programs that have trouble using TrueType fonts for special graphic aspects such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.

● Alternative Letterhead Mode

When selected, this option eliminates the need to flip or reload letterhead or preprinted paper in a tray, whether you are printing on one or both sides of the sheet. Load the paper as you would for printing on both sides. If the product tray has an icon that indicates whether to load paper either face-up or face-down, load the paper in opposite orientation of that shown.

ENWW Advanced tab features 57

When this option is selected, you must use one of the following options in the Paper type setting:

◦ Letterhead

◦ Preprinted

NOTE: Because Alternative Letterhead Mode is available only if the product is equipped with an automatic duplexing unit, the the base model (HP Laserjet Enterprise 601n) does not support this option.

Layout Options

The Layout Options setting contains the Page Order setting.

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.

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.


Printing Shortcuts tab features

●

Use defined printing shortcuts

●

Create a custom printing shortcut

NOTE: The Printing Shortcuts tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set.

Use the Printing Shortcuts tab to store specific combinations of driver settings for easy use.

The following figure shows the Printing Shortcuts tab.

NOTE: The number of options shown (Paper sizes, Paper source, etc) changes depending on the selected shortcut.

Figure 3-3 Printing Shortcuts tab

ENWW

The Printing Shortcuts tab is a new tab that appears on the HP PCL 6 Print Driver beginning with the

HP Color LaserJet CM4730 MFP. In previous drivers, the Print Task Quick Sets appeared in most of the driver tabs, and was used to capture commonly used driver settings. Like Quick Sets, the Printing

Shortcuts tab saves commonly used driver settings under a shortcut name.

Paper/Quality tab features

NOTE: The Paper/Quality tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set.

Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify paper size, type, and source. You can also use this tab to specify different paper selections for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, and back cover of the document. The following figure shows the Paper/Quality tab.

Figure 3-5 Paper/Quality tab

ENWW

The Paper/Quality tab contains the following control sets:

●

Paper/Quality tab features 61

Paper Options

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 figure shows the Paper Options group box and the selections that are available by default.

Figure 3-6 Paper Options group box

The settings in the Paper Options group box are described in the following order:

●

Paper sizes

●

Custom Paper Size

●

Paper source

●

Paper type

●

Special pages

Paper sizes

The Paper sizes setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes.

When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.

Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different paper sizes.

NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes within a single document.

When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.


When the Settings under the Special Pages section have been changed, the Paper sizes, Paper

source, and Paper type menus change also, offering a variety of options. For more information, see

Special pages on page 68 .

Custom Paper Size

The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab. The following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.

NOTE: The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product supports custom paper sizes from 3 inches in length and 5 inches in width up to 14 inches in length and 8.5

inches in width. The driver will be updated to enable printing to the maximum size.

Name

Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size. When you change the name to something other than Custom, the Save and OK buttons become active.

The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:

● If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom paper size.

● If a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the default name of Custom.

● If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is saved or the dialog box is closed.

If you type a new name into the Name text box, but then do not click Save, you can change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking

Save, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.

Paper size

The width and height values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes in the

Paper Size group box.

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.

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 minimum value. Width and height entries are validated when the focus has changed.

The resolution of each control is 1 millimeter or 1/10 of an inch, depending on the current measurement units.

Supported paper sizes

This product supports a number of paper sizes, and it adapts to various media.

NOTE: To obtain best results, select the correct paper size and type in the print driver before printing.

Paper source

The Paper source setting specifies the source tray to use for printing a document. The list of source trays depends on the product accessories that are installed. Any optional source trays that are installed through the Device Settings tab also appear here.

The Paper source drop-down menu can contain the following options, depending on what has been installed on the product:

● Automatically select

● Printer Auto Select

● Manual Feed in Tray 1

● Tray 1 (100-sheet multipurpose tray)

● Tray 2 (500-sheet tray)

The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the HP LaserJet Enterprise

600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer uses the source tray that supports the paper size that you have selected. If you select a source tray other than Automatically select, make sure that the correct paper size is loaded in the source tray.

Paper type

The Paper type drop-down menu shows the first few paper types that the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600

M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer supports and an entry for More. Clicking More opens the

◦ Colored

◦ Rough

◦ Retail Shelf Edge Labels

The default setting is Unspecified.

No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types through the driver. Use HP Web

Jetadmin to add custom paper types. Custom types can be added only by using bidirectional communication, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then an updated list of paper types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are available through the driver.

NOTE: To download a current version of HP Web Jetamin and for the latest list of supported host systems, go to the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin

If you select a setting other than the default, make sure that the correct paper type is loaded in the tray that you selected in the Paper source setting.

When you change the print-driver setting to a paper type that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper type or select another tray.

Print Quality

The Print Quality group box contains the following controls:

●

Print Quality drop-down menu

●

EconoMode check box

Print Quality drop-down menu

The Print Quality drop-down menu contains the following options:

● 600 dpi: This setting prints using standard 600 dpi resolution.

● FastRes 1200: This setting produces a resolution of 1200 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) This mode is faster than 1200 x 1200 resolution, but has slightly lower print quality.

● ProRes1200 (180 lpi): This setting prints using 1200 x 1200 resolution. It prints more slowly than the other resolutions, but it has the best print quality.

● ProRes1200 (132 lpi): This setting prints using 1200 x 1200 resolution. It prints more slowly than the other resolutions, but it has the best print quality.

● 1200 x 1200. This setting may improve the rendering of fine lines and text.

EconoMode check box

This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner and decrease the cost per page. However, using EconoMode also can reduce print quality.

HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.


Effects tab features

NOTE: The Effects tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set.

Use the Effects tab to create unique paper effects such as scaling and watermarks. The following figure shows the Effects tab.

Figure 3-10 Effects tab

The Effects tab contains the following controls:

●

Resizing Options

●


●

Watermarks


Resizing Options

The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls:

● Actual Size (default)

● Print Document On

● Scale to Fit

● % of Actual Size

Actual Size

Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size.

Print Document On

Click the Print Document On option 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 Actual 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 paper sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports and any custom sizes that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected paper.

Scale to Fit

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 figure shows

ENWW Effects tab features 73

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 3-11 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 paper size.

% of Actual Size

The % of Actual Size option provides a slider bar and input box to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of actual size. Actual 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 product.

The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, 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 upperleft corner of the preview.

The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the slider-bar indicator is dragged, and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the arrows increases or decreases the scale by 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%.

You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the slider-bar indicator. Instead, either use the sliderbar indicator to approximate the value that you want and then use the arrows to refine the value, or type the value into the entry box.

The following settings disable % of Actual Size:

● Print Document On (on the Effects tab) is selected

● Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1


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 the following Printing preferences driver tabs:

Watermarks

Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create a new watermark (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver:

● (none)

● [Username]

● Confidential

● Draft

● SAMPLE

The Watermarks feature can be configured using the Driver Configuration Utility.

If the [Username] watermark is selected, the driver will use the network username of the logged in user for the watermark.

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 that is selected from this list appears in the preview image.

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 3-12 Watermark Details dialog box

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 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 that are available in the driver and any new watermarks that 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. 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 then 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 on the page. All settings center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. The following settings are available:

● Diagonal. This is the default setting. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.

● Horizontal. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page.

● Custom. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page. Use the numeric spin box to select the angle.

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:

● Name

The Name drop-down menu lists fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is language-dependent.

● Color

The Color drop-down menu contains the following selection:

◦ Gray

● Shading

The default Shading setting for new and preset watermarks is Very Light. The following range of shades is available from the Shading drop-down menu:

Print on both sides automatically

The duplexing unit in the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on Both Sides option is specified in the print job. The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following models:

● M601dn

● HP LaserJet M602

● HP LaserJet M603

These product models support smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases printing performance by preventing one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job from going through the duplexing unit even when the duplexing feature has been selected in the driver.

All paper types support the smart duplexing feature, except for paper types that cannot be printed on both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following paper types:

● Prepunched

● Preprinted

● Letterhead

● Cardstock

When the paper type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.

To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a paper type, you are, in effect, instructing the product to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the paper with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used with each paper type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.

Print on both sides manually

Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the paper for the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601dn, M602dn, M603dn, which does not have a duplexing unit installed. Also, select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other HP LaserJet Enterprise 600

M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product models for paper types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick paper.

Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6 driver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the product automatically prints on both sides of paper types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, and

8.5 x 11 only). For paper types that are not supported for automatic duplexing, a Help message appears prompting you to configure the driver settings for manual printing on both sides. Manual printing on both sides does not occur automatically.


Select the paper type that corresponds to the paper that you are using for the print job. The following paper types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side:

● Plain

● Preprinted

● Letterhead

● Prepunched

● Bond

● Recycled

● Rough

NOTE: To make the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box available in the document options, select the Allow Manual Duplexing option on the Device Settings tab in the print-driver

Properties tab set. See

Installable Options on page 100 .

If you want to print on both sides manually while using paper that is supported for automatic duplexing, you must select and apply the Not Installed setting on the Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) option on the Device Settings tab.

Cardstock paper can be manually printed on the second side, but no change occurs to the print mode.

Transparencies and labels should never be manually printed on the second side.

To print a multiple-page document, follow these steps:

1.

Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box.

2.

Click OK. The even-number pages of the document print.

3.

When the control panel shows the MANUALLY FEED message, insert the stack of paper (on which the even-number pages have been printed) as indicated in the following figure.

Figure 3-14 Print on Both Sides Instructions dialog box

82

When you have completed the steps that appear in the dialog box, the second half of the print job prints on the back side of the stack of paper. The driver does not require the program to specifically support odd- and even-page printing, because the driver coordinates this function.


Flip Pages Up

Use the Flip Pages Up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip Pages

Up check box is not available. It is available only when Print on Both Sides is selected. The following table demonstrates the results of selecting this check box, depending on the paper orientation selected on the Finishing tab.

Short-edge binding

When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.

Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar.

Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.

Booklet Layout

The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the paper size that is set on the Paper/Quality tab:

● Left Binding

● Right Binding

When you select Left Binding or Right Binding, the document preview image changes to show the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically changes to 2 pages per sheet. If you change the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or

16 pages per sheet, the booklet setting is disabled. See Pages per sheet on page 84

for more information.

Book and Booklet Printing

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer supports book and booklet printing.

A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages. It can have a different paper type for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Covers and Print pages on

different paper settings on the Paper/Quality tab to select different paper for the front cover, first

page, other pages, and back cover. For more information, see Paper/Quality tab features on page 61 .


A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can then be folded into a booklet that is half the size of the paper. Use the Booklet Layout drop-down menu on the Finishing tab to control booklet settings.

Pages per sheet

Use the Pages per sheet option to select the number of pages that you want to print on a single sheet of paper. If you choose to print more than one page per sheet, the pages appear smaller and are arranged on the sheet in the order that they would otherwise be printed. The Pages per sheet dropdown menu provides six settings:

Figure 3-15 Pages per sheet preview images

● 1 page per sheet (this is the default)

● 2 pages per sheet





NOTE: When you select an option other than 2 pages per sheet, booklet printing is unavailable.

The Page Order drop-down menu contains four selections:

● Right, then Down

● Down, then Right

● Left, then Down

● Down, then Left


The preview document image changes to reflect alterations in these settings.


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 the following Printing preferences driver tabs:



● Effects

● Finishing



Orientation

Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the way that paper feeds into the product. You can specify the orientation of the print job. The three available orientations are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait.

NOTE: Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation.

The Orientation group box contains the following options:

● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the paper.

● Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the paper.

● Rotate by 180 degrees. This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is rotated 180°. This setting is useful for printing prepunched paper.

You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image. If you select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box, no change occurs in the document preview image.


Job Storage tab features

NOTE: The Job Storage tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set or the Properties tab set.

Use the job-storage feature to store print jobs in the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and

M603 Series Printer product memory or hard disk for printing at a later time.

The Job Storage tab appears among the driver tabs only if the job-storage feature is enabled on the

Device Settings tab. To support job-storage features for complex jobs, or if you often print complex graphics, print postscript (.PS) documents, or use many downloaded fonts, HP recommends that you install additional memory, install a hard disk, or both. Added memory also gives you more flexibility in supporting job-storage features. A minimum total memory of 288 MB is required to use the Proof and

Hold and Personal Job job-storage features. A hard disk is required to use the Quick Copy and

Stored Job job-storage features.

After a hard disk is installed, the driver must be configured to reflect the changes in the product. If bidirectional communication is enabled in your environment, the Update Now feature can be used to update the drivers. For more information, see

Automatic Configuration on page 101

.

To configure the drivers manually after installing a hard disk, follow these steps:

1.

In Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008, click the Start button, click Control

Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers.

In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers

and Faxes.

Job Storage Mode

Use the Job Storage Mode options on the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603

Series Printer product to store documents at the product and then control their printing at the product control panel.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product offers the following

Job Storage Mode options:

● Off

● Proof and Hold

● Personal Job

● Quick Copy

● Stored Job

These options and the settings that control them are described below.

Off

When selected, this option turns the job-storage feature off (it is disabled), which means that the print job will not be stored in the product.

Proof and Hold

To use the Proof and Hold option, the job-storage feature must be enabled.

When selected, this option stores the print job in memory and prints only the first copy of the job, allowing you to check the first copy. If the document prints correctly, you can print the remaining copies of the print job at the control panel. You can set the number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be stored in the product at the control panel.


NOTE: When using the Proof and Hold option, only one copy of the print job is sent to the printer even if multiple copies are specified in the software application you print from. If multiple copies are needed while using the Proof and Hold option, they must be specified at the control panel.

After it is released for printing, the proof-and-hold job is immediately deleted from the product. If more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second proofand-hold job to the product with the same user name and job name as an existing proof-and-hold job

(and you have not released the original job for printing), the job overwrites the existing job. Proof-andhold jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.

NOTE: The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-and-hold jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu, and the default is

32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the oldest held document. Also, a document that has the same user name and job name as one that is already stored on the printer hard disk will overwrite the existing document.

Personal Job

To use the Personal Job option, the job-storage feature must be enabled.

When you select Personal Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request the job at the product control panel. Selecting Personal Job activates the Make Job Private/

Secure group box.

If PIN to print is selected in the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box, the print job can be printed only after you type the correct PIN at the control panel. After the job is printed, the job is immediately deleted from the product. This feature is useful when you are printing sensitive or confidential documents that you do not want to leave in an output bin after printing.

The PIN number for Personal Jobs must be exactly four digits (0 though 9). If non-numeric characters are entered for the PIN number, they disappear from the input field. If more than four characters are entered for the PIN number, the characters past the fourth are truncated. The default value for the PIN is

0000 for Personal Job.

If Encrypt Job (with password) is selected in the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box,

the print job is sent and stored on the product encyrpted. See Encrypt Job (with password) on page 91 .

After the personal job is released for printing, it is immediately deleted from the product. If more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second personal job that has the same user name and job name as an existing personal job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job overwrites the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Personal jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.

Quick Copy

To use the Quick Copy option, a printer hard disk must be installed, and the job-storage feature must be enabled.

When you select Quick Copy, the entire print job prints and a copy of the print job is stored on the product, after which you can print additional copies of the print job at the product control panel. The number of quick-copy print jobs that can be stored in the product is set by using the product control panel.

ENWW Job Storage tab features 89

NOTE: The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-and-hold jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu, and the default is

32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the oldest held document. Also, a document that has the same user name and job name as one that is already stored on the printer hard disk will overwrite the existing document. Quick Copy jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.

Stored Job

To use the Stored Job option, a hard disk must be installed on the product and the job-storage feature must be enabled.

Use the Stored Job option to send a print job directly to the printer hard disk without printing it. The print job is stored in the product as if it is an electronic file cabinet. After the print job is stored on the printer hard disk, you can print the job at the product control panel.

The job remains stored in the product until it is deleted or overwritten by a document that has the same user name and job name. Stored jobs remain on the printer hard disk when the product is turned off.

Use this feature for forms and other common or shared documents.

A stored job can be managed in two ways: as either a public or a private job.

To make a stored job public, set the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box to None.

To make a stored job private, set the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box to either PIN to

print or Encrypt Job (with password).

Select PIN to print in the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box to set the private mode

(without encryption). The print job can be printed only after you type the correct, 4–digit PIN at the control panel. For more information on the PIN to print option, see

Personal Job on page 89

.

Select Encrypt Job (with password) to set the private mode with encryption. For more information,

see Encrypt Job (with password) on page 91

After the job is printed, the job remains in the product and can be printed again at the product control panel.

The group box labeled Make Job Private/Secure is usually inactive. The PIN to print and

Encrypt Job (with password) options only become available when you select Stored Job or

Personal Job. If you select PIN to print or Encrypt Job (with password), you must type a PIN to make the stored job private or else select None.

NOTE: A private stored job is not the same as a personal job. Personal jobs are deleted from the product after they are printed. Private stored jobs are retained in the product after printing, but require that a PIN be typed each time they are printed. A printer hard disk is required for Private stored jobs.

Make Job Private/Secure

The Make Job Private/Secure drop-down menu is available when Personal Job or Stored Job is selected.


PIN to print

Select PIN to print from the drop-down menu, and then type a 4-digit PIN number in the box provided. The personal or stored job is sent to the product, where you must enter the 4-digit PIN on the control panel to retrieve the job. For more information on the PIN to print option, see

Personal Job on page 89

Encrypt Job (with password)

The new HP UPD option Encrypt Job (with password) is available for use with firmware (11.2 or higher), and provides end-to-end secure print job transmission with mutual authentication on the supported devices. The print job is sent and stored encrypted, and can only be printed after entering the password on the device.

Set a password for encrypting a job

1.

Enter a sequence of numeric characters, from 4 to 12 numeric characters in length, in the

Password field.

2.

Confirm the password you entered by retyping it in the Confirm field.

NOTE: The key icon next to the Confirm field will change to green when you correctly retype your password in the Confirm field.

3.

Select Save as default password to save your password and then click the Apply button.

NOTE: If Save as default password is not selected, the password is not saved even if you print twice from the same application while the application is still open.

If Save as default password is selected with a password and used to print a job, and then

Save as default password is deselected at a later time, the password will still be used as the

default password.

User Name

Use the User Name settings to help identify the job at the product control panel. The following are the

User Name settings:

● User Name. This option associates your Windows user name with the stored print job. The

Windows user name automatically appears in the text field below the User Name options.

● Custom. Use this option to type a custom name for the stored print job. When you click

Custom, the text field below the option becomes available. The User Name field can contain no more than 16 characters, and is limited to A through Z and 0 through 9 because the name appears on the product control-panel display. If you try to type a lowercase character, it automatically shifts to uppercase. If you try to type a character in an ASCII code of fewer than 32 or more than 126 characters, the character is removed from the edit field, along with all of the characters that follow it. If you try to type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is truncated.


Job Name

Use the Job Name options to specify a name to identify the job at the product control panel. The following are the Job Name settings:

● <Automatic> This option, which is the default selection, automatically generates the job name that is associated with the stored print job. The file name of the print job is used if it is available to the print driver. Otherwise, the software program name or a time stamp is used for the job name.

● Custom. Use this to type a custom job name for the stored print job. When you click Custom, the text field below the option becomes available. In those languages for which <Automatic> cannot be translated without the use of invalid characters, the driver uses a string of three dashes.

The acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string must be of a length and type that can appear on the product control-panel display.

The Job Name field can contain no more than 16 characters, and is limited to A through Z

(uppercase or lowercase) and 0 through 9 so that the name can appear on the product control-panel display. If you try to type a character in an ASCII code of fewer than 32 or more than 126 characters, the character is removed from the edit field, along with all of the characters that follow it. If you try to type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is truncated.

When the dialog box is closed, or as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the

Tab key is pressed or another control is selected), an empty string is replaced with <Automatic>. The acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string must be of a length and type that can appear on the product control-panel display.

If Job Name Exists. When you store a print job, you can create a print-job name or the product software can assign one automatically. If a print job with the same name already exists, the new print job will overwrite the existing print job. To eliminate the chances of a new print job overwriting an old print job because both have the same name, select Use Job Name + (1-99). After you create the print job name, or when one is created automatically, the product software assigns a number between

1 and 99 to the end of the print job name to make the name unique. Select Replace Existing File if you always want the product software to overwrite an existing print job with the same print job name.

Form to Tray Assignment

A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the paper size in each input tray.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product supports more than one source of paper. You can assign a form (which defines the paper size and margins) to each paper source. When a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print. The product 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 paper size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are available in the paper-size list on the Paper/Quality tab in the Printing preferences driver tabs.

ENWW Device Settings tab features 97

This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the product 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 input trays listed here are also listed as paper sources on the Paper/Quality tab.

Printer Hard Disk

When this option is installed, the Job Storage option and the Mopier Mode are enabled in the print driver. Use the Job Storage option to store print jobs and then print them later from the control panel. The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces multiple, collated copies from a single print job.

Job Storage

When Job Storage is enabled, the product can store print jobs so that you can gain access to those print jobs later at the control panel.

Secure Printing

The new HP UPD option Encrypt Job (with password) is available for use with this printer and provides end-to-end secure print job transmission with mutual authentication on the supported devices.

The print job is sent and stored encrypted, and can only be printed after entering the password on the device.


Setting this to disabled results in the setting Encrypt Job not to be listed under Make Job Private/

Secure on the Job Storage tab.

The default is Automatic, enabling the setting to be selected from the Job Storage tab.

Job Separator

Use this control to specify whether a print job identifier page should be printed between print jobs. The

Job Separator feature is disabled by default.

Mopier Mode

The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces multiple, collated copies from a single print job. Multiple-original printing (mopying) increases performance and reduces network traffic by transmitting the job to the product once, and then storing it in memory or on the hard disk. The remainder of the copies are printed at the fastest speed. All documents that are printed in mopier mode can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the computer, which eliminates the extra step of using a photocopier.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device Settings tab is Enabled.

When you use the HP PCL 6 Print Driver, mopying is performed in one of two ways: either through the software or through the product hardware. When mopier mode is enabled, mopying takes place through the product hardware. One copy of a multiple-page print job is transmitted once through the network to the product, together with a printer job language (PJL) command directing the product to make the specified number of copies.

When you disable mopier mode, you are not necessarily disabling multiple collated copies, which the driver can still perform through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is disabled when you change the Mopier Mode setting to Disabled). However, a multiple-copy print job that is sent when the mopier is disabled loses the advantage of transmitting the print job once, because the job is sent through the network for each collated copy.

Mopier mode and collation

Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. Mopying, the ability to send original print jobs to the product, is performed by the print driver. Collating can be controlled by either the print driver or the document software program. The mopying mode is selected by default in the driver, and can be disabled by changing the Mopier Mode setting on the Device Settings tab to Disabled.

Control collation through the print driver by selecting or clearing the Collated check box on the

Advanced tab. Click Copy Count under the Paper Output setting. You can clear the check box, which is available only when the Copy Count option is set to more than 1 copy, to allow the software program to control collation.

To receive uncollated multiple copies of a print job, you must clear the Collated check box and make sure that the software program collation feature is not selected.


The following table shows the relation between mopier mode settings and collation settings in the software program and the driver. The first three columns show the settings; the last column, "Expected result", shows how a 3-page print job would appear.

You must spell out the word "Transparency" in the string, although it is abbreviated as TRNSPRNCY on the control panel.

The correct command for cardstock is "Esc&n11WdCard Stock", with a space between the "d" and the "S", and with an uppercase "S".

File to E-mail utility

The File to E-mail utility collects the data specified in an .INI file and then attaches the data files to an email that can be sent to HP Customer Support to assist troubleshooting. The utility runs on the computer, but does not interact with the product.

The tool is included on the installer CD, but is not copied to the computer during the software installation. HP Customer Support can also send the utility by e-mail or by posting it to an HP Web site.

The tool is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Win 7.

The File to E-mail utility runs with any MAPI-compliant e-mail applications. It does not run with Webbased e-mail services such as Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL.

Depending on the speed of the computer, it might take a few minutes for the utility to gather the log files and attach them to an e-mail message.

ENWW File to E-mail utility 143

The File to E-mail utility consists of two files that are located in the util folder on the product printingsystem software CD:

● <CD-ROM drive>Utilities\FileToEmail.exe

● <CD-ROM drive>Utilities\FileToEmail.ini

To use the File to E-mail utility, copy these files to the desktop, navigate to them in Explorer, and doubleclick FileToEmail.exe to open the utility. The utility generates files, opens an e-mail message, and attaches the files so that you can send them to the system administrator.

If the File to E-mail utility is not successful for any reason (for instance, if you cancel the new message or you are using Web-based e-mail software), all the files are copied to a folder on the desktop that is named HpCCC, possibly with strings of zeros attached to the end. You can zip these files and e-mail them separately.
