Advanced color use
The product provides automatic color features that generate excellent color results. Carefully designed and tested color tables provide smooth, accurate color rendition of all printable colors.
The product also provides sophisticated tools for the experienced professional.
HP ImageREt 3600
ImageREt 3600 provides 3600 dots-per-inch (dpi) color laser-class quality through a multi-level printing process. This process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a single dot and by varying the amount of toner in a given area. ImageREt 3600 has been improved for this product. The improvements offer trapping technologies, greater control over dot placement, and more precise control of toner quality in a dot. These new technologies, coupled with HP's multi-level printing process, result in a 600 x 600 dpi printer that provides 3600-dpi color laser-class quality with millions of smooth colors.
In contrast, the single-level printing process found in the default mode of other color laser printers does not allow the colors to be mixed within a single dot. This process, called dithering, significantly hinders the ability to create a wide range of colors without reduced sharpness or visible dot structure.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate paper type from the Paper/Quality tab of the Printing Preferences of the printer driver.
Color options
Color options automatically provide optimal color output. These options use object tagging, which provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects (text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print quality for each object.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a common color language for monitors, input products (scanners and digital cameras), and output products (printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical
Windows monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance of colors on your screen.
The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop ® , CorelDRAW ® , Microsoft Office, and many other programs use sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space in Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has been adopted broadly. When programs and products use sRGB to exchange color information, typical users experience greatly improved color matching.
12 Chapter 2 Windows software description ENWW
The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the product, the computer monitor, and other input products automatically, and eliminates the need to become a color expert.
Use color themes to adjust the RGB Color options for the entire page.
Setting description
RGB Color
Setting options
● Default (sRGB) instructs the product to interpret RGB color as sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium ( http://www.w3.org
).
● Vivid instructs the product to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully.
This setting is recommended for printing business graphics.
● Photo interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini-lab. It renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than Default (sRGB) mode. Use this setting for printing photos.
● Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) is for digital photos that use the
AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. When printing from a professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important to turn off the color management in the software program and allow the product to manage the color space.
● None sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs correctly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating system.

3 Install Windows software and utilities
The HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series comes with software and installers for Microsoft
Windows and Apple Mac systems. For information about Mac software, see
software is available on the Web. This chapter provides procedures for installing and uninstalling the
HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series printing-system software for Windows operating systems.
●

General Windows installation instructions
ENWW 85
Install overview
The software for the product comes on a single CD. The software installer first checks the versions of
Windows Installer and Microsoft .NET installed on the system, and then installs the printing-system software from the CD onto the hard disk and updates Windows files.
During the printing-system installation, the software installer also checks the firmware version on the product. If the firmware version on the product is older than the firmware version on the CD, the installer will update the firmware on the product. If the firmware version on the product is the same or newer than the CD, the software installer does not update the firmware on the product. Each time you turn the product on, a firmware file is added to the first print job.
NOTE: If you try to use any print driver other than the HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series printer driver — for example a different HP printer driver, a Microsoft printer driver, or a custom printer driver — the product will not print.
Depending on the configuration of your computer as well as the installation method selected, the following components might be installed during the printing-system software installation:
● HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series host-based printer driver
● HP Software Update
● Shop for Supplies
● Color LaserJet 1020 Series Device Settings
● HP LaserJet Customer Participation Program
● HP LaserJet Help and Learn Center
● HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series User Guide
● Windows Installer 3.1
● Warranty reminder
● UnInstall utility
For all of the supported platforms, each install option presents a series of query dialog boxes that guide you through the installation process.
Software Installer system check
The software installer checks the computer system to ensure that the following Windows features are the correct version to support the printing-system components.
Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1
When the user starts the installation process, the HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series software installer checks the computer system to determine the version number of the Windows
Installer currently on the system. If the HP LaserJet Pro CP1520 color printer series software installer detects that the Windows Installer version is prior to version 3.1, a dialog box appears alerting the user that the Windows Installer must be updated. The user must click the OK button to continue. The

Printer sharing disclaimer
HP does not support peer-to-peer networking, as the feature is a function of Microsoft operating systems and not of the HP printer drivers. Go to Microsoft at www.microsoft.com
.
Point-and-Print installation
Use the following information to install a printer driver by using the Microsoft Point-and-Print feature when you do not connect directly to the product on the network.
Point-and-Print is a Microsoft term that describes a two-step printer driver installation process. The first step is to install a shared printer driver on a network print server. The second step is to "point" to the print server from a network client so that the client can use the printer driver.
HP provides printer drivers that are compatible with the Point-and-Print feature, but this is a function of the Windows operating systems, not of HP printer drivers.
Administrator privileges are necessary to install the printer driver.
In a homogenous operating system environment (one in which all of the clients and servers are running in the same operating system), the same printer driver version that is vended from the server to the clients in a Point-and-Print environment also runs and controls the print queue configuration on the server. However, in a mixed operating system environment (one in which servers and clients might run on different operating systems), conflicts can occur when client computers run a version of the printer driver that is different from the one on the print server.
In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows
2000 and continuing with all future operating systems, printer drivers would run as user-mode processes. User-mode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal end-user processes and software programs. A user-mode printer driver that functions incorrectly can terminate (or “crash”) only the process in which it is running—not the whole operating system.
Because access to critical system resources is restricted, overall operating system stability is increased.

Copy Count setting
This printer-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.
The number of copies appears in the Copy Count option. 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. 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 in the edit box (such as nonnumerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) change to the last valid value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1.
100 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows ENWW
Because you can set the number of copies from some software programs, conflicts can arise between the software program and the printer driver. In most cases, the software program and the printer driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in the software program will appear in the printer-driver settings. For some software programs, this communication does not happen, and the number of copies settings are treated independently. For these software programs, setting 10 copies in the software program and then setting 10 copies in the printer driver will result in 100 copies
(10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the software program, whenever possible.

Image Color Management (ICM)
Use ICM for the following reasons:
● To create International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles to manage product color.
● When using a software application which supports the selection and use of ICC profiles.
Select the ICM settings to turn off product color management. If this option is selected from a software application that does not allow for the use of ICC profiles, or if no profile is selected for the product, the resulting prints will be dark, vivid, unmatched product colors. By disabling product color management, the high-end user has complete control over the color matching process via the software application.
The following settings are available for ICC:
● ICM Method
◦ ICM Disabled (default)
◦ ICM Handled by Host System
◦ ICM Handled by Printer

TrueType Font settings
This option specifies the TrueType font settings. The following settings are available:
● Substitute with Device Font. This setting causes the product to use equivalent fonts for printing documents that contain TrueType fonts. This permits faster printing; however, special characters that the product fonts do not support might not print correctly.
● Download as Softfont. This setting causes TrueType fonts to be downloaded and used for printing, instead of using the product fonts.

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 the product. For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features setting
Enabled. If compatibility problems occur, disable the feature. Some advanced printing features might still be available in the printer driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced printing feature in the printer driver that has been disabled on the Advanced tab, the feature is automatically turned on again.

●
Send TrueType as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 printer driver only)
●
●
Print All Text as Black
The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the product 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.
Send TrueType as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 printer driver only)
Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for those software programs that encounter problems when using TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is Disabled by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the printer driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.

Page Order
Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of the 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 to achieve output in the correct order when printing to a face-up output bin.

The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the print job.
Paper sizes
The Paper sizes setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes.
Move the mouse cursor over the dimensions label to change the cursor 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 printer-driver settings, it is generally best to use the printer driver to set paper size only when printing from software programs that do not include a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when printing 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.
Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab.
NOTE: The Custom Paper Size dialog box for the product does not reflect the maximum paper size that the product supports.
Name
Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size.
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 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
Change the width and height values by typing numeric strings into the Width and Length fields in the
Custom Paper Size dialog box.
108 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows ENWW
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height controls 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 last valid entry. 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.
Units
To change measurement units, click one of the options in the Units group box, either Inches or
Millimeters.
Custom width and height control limits
The minimum paper size for the product is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) and the maximum size is

NOTE: Options available in the Settings dialog box change depending on the selection made in the
Special pages: list box.
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 all Printing Preferences tabs except the Services tab.
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image.
Move the mouse over the document preview image, and the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking on the image.
Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down menu.
The default, and only, setting for Print Quality is ImageREt 3600.
This setting controls resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) or lines per inch (lpi) used to print the page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is improved. However, higher resolution might also result in longer printing times.

Figure 4-5 Effects tab
Resizing Options
The Resizing Options group box contains the following options:
● Actual size (default)
● Print document on setting
● Scale to fit option
● % of actual size setting
Actual size
Actual size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size.
Print document on
Select 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.
ENWW HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows 113
With Print document on selected, % of actual size and Pages per sheet get reset to their default values.
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 have been created. When Print document on is selected, Scale to fit is automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want the document reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected paper.
Scale to fit
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 paper. If the document size is larger than the paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the paper.
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.
% of actual size
The % of actual size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the printer driver or what the printer driver receives from the software program, if the software program does not negotiate the paper size with the printer driver. The printer 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 document preview image, 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 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%.
Dragging the slider-bar indicator does not yield an exact value. Instead, either use the slider-bar indicator to approximate the value and then use the arrows to refine the value, or type the value into the entry box.
If % of actual size is set to a value not equal to 100%, and changes are made to the Print
document on (Effects tab) or Pages per sheet (Finishing tab) settings, then % of actual size is automatically reset to 100%.
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
114 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows ENWW
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of all Printing Preferences tabs except the Services tab.
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image.
Move the mouse over the document preview image, and the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking on the image.
Watermarks
Use the Watermarks options to select a watermark, create a custom watermark (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the printer driver:
● [none]
● [Username]
● 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 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 in the Watermarks group box, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.
The Watermark Details 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 the predefined watermarks that are available in the driver and any new watermarks that have been 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 typed 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.
ENWW HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows 115
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 to keep the watermark. Click OK to delete the selected watermark.
NOTE: No more that 30 watermarks can exist in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, 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, in effect creates 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 can contain 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 options 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.
● Angle. 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.

Table 4-4 Manual color options (continued)
Setting description
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.
Setting options
◦ Yellow – 200 lpi
◦ Black – 212 lpi
● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast.
● 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.
● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Light sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

The Color Themes group box contains the RGB color drop-down menu.
Use color themes to adjust the RGB color options for the entire page.
126 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows ENWW
Setting description
RGB color
Setting options
● Default (sRGB) instructs the product to interpret RGB color as sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium ( http://www.w3.org
).
● Vivid instructs the product to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully.
This setting is recommended for printing business graphics.
● Photo interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini-lab. It renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than Default (sRGB) mode. Use this setting for printing photos.
● Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) is for digital photos that use the
AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. When printing from a professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is important to turn off the color management in the software program and allow the product to manage the color space.
● None sets the product to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs correctly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating system.
CAUTION: Use this option only if you are familiar with the procedures for managing color in the software program or the operating system; otherwise, color quality can be compromised.

Form To Tray Assignment
The product supports more than one source of paper. Assign a form, which defines the paper size and margins, to each paper source. When a form is matched to a source, select the form to print. The product prints from the tray to which that form is assigned.
System administrators can use the Form To Tray Assignment setting to specify, in the printer 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 tabs.
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.

About tab features
The About tab is in the Properties tabs for the printer driver.
The About tab provides detailed information about the printer driver. It contains an overall build number (in parentheses after the model name) together with specific information about each of the components. The information varies according to the product, printer driver, date, and versions.
Figure 4-12 About tab
The About tab lists printer driver installation file names and their version numbers. The About tab also indicates whether the printer driver was auto-configured, whether administrator preferences were set, the date that the printer driver was last configured, and whether the configuration is default or user-defined.
To determine the latest version, compare the overall build number (in parenthesis after the model name) and the GPD number (in the Driver Files: field). If the overall build number has increased, this is the latest version of the printer driver.
If the overall build number is the same, check the version number of the GPD file. The printer driver that has the highest GPD version number is the latest printer driver.

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 e-mail 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 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
Is the File to E-mail utility compatible with 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.
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 double-click 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.

III. LATE-BREAKING INFORMATION
KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS
General
● Firewall software can interfere with the HP software installer. Disable the firewall before starting a network installation or the product might not be detected.
● Certain Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cards ship with unsigned host controller drivers. If you have purchased a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 add-in card and have an unsigned driver, you might experience driver installation problems or communication problems between the product and HP software. It is recommended that you always use a Microsoft WHQL Certified host controller driver with your
USB hardware.
● Functionality is limited on systems that only meet minimum system requirements. Many images and videos require a system that meets the recommended system requirements for acceptable performance and reliability.
● If the product is not detected during software installation, check the following:
◦ Verify that your cable is Hi-Speed USB 2.0 high-speed compliant.
◦ Ensure that your cable is connected correctly. Remove the USB cable, look at the end of the cable, and then match it to the pattern on the USB port. Make sure that it is not upside down. Insert one end of the USB cable completely into the USB port on the HP product, and insert the other end into the back of the computer.
◦ Verify that the product is turned on. The product will not be discovered by the software if the power is off.
◦ Ensure that your USB cable is no more than 5 m (16.4 ft) in length.
◦ Verify that the USB port is enabled. Some computers ship with disabled USB ports.
Upgrading Windows
HP recommends that you uninstall HP products before upgrading to a newer supported version of
Windows. For example, when upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7, uninstall your HP product using the Uninstaller program provided in the HP program group (see the Uninstaller section), and then upgrade to the new operating system. After the operating system upgrade is complete, reinstall your HP product using the latest software available at HP.com
