Macintosh printing-system software
This section discusses the following topics:
Printing-system software 29
●
●
Mac OS 9 Classic support
HP does not fully support Mac OS 9 (Mac OS X Classic). It is not a native operating system but a virtual operating system running on top of Mac OS X (HP software is designed and tested for native operating systems). Additionally, no support is offered for Virtual PC, which is also a virtual operating system.
Information that HP has about specific issues related to the Mac OS X Classic environment or printdriver files can be relayed to customers.
At this time, support offered for Mac OS 9 Classic is on a "best effort" basis. HP understands that because certain Apple computers might not offer native Mac OS 9, Classic is the only option. "Best effort" support will attempt the following:
●
Installation of the software and hardware
●
Test installation to verify that the software and hardware work
●
Limited troubleshooting
When problems arise within the Mac OS X Classic environment, HP uses the following resources to resolve the problem:
●
Internal resources, such as knowledge-base systems, engineers, and the resource desk
●
Apple support
●
The Web
●
Known solutions
If these resources do not resolve the problem, contact Apple or the virtual-operating-system vendor.
While issues that occur with virtual operating systems are not supported, HP continues to offer full support for its products in native Mac OS 9, where the supplied product software is designed to support
Mac OS 9 and is within the normal support period.
Macintosh printing system
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printing system for Macintosh is composed of the Print Center for
Mac OS X (V10.1.5 and later) and the Apple LaserWriter driver for Mac OS 9.2.2 (Mac OS X Classic), which are provided with the operating system, and HP-created PPD files. The driver uses these files to determine the features and postscript commands that the product supports. Bidirectional support in
AppleTalk connections supports autoconfiguration of the software. The following are components that can be installed:
●
The HP Color LaserJet Installer for Mac OS 9 V9.2.2 (Mac OS X Classic) and Mac OS X V10.1.5
and later
●
SYSTEM/EXTENSIONS/PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS (for Mac OS X Classic)
●
LIBRARY/PRINTERS/PPDS/CONTENTS/RESOURCES/LANGUAGE.LPROJ (for Mac OS X)
●
The HP Printer Selector (for Mac OS X V10.1.5 and later)

Driver Configuration for Windows
The HP LaserJet PCL 6 and PCL 5 traditional drivers for Windows and the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and
PS emulation unidrivers 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 Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC)
●
When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed
However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and EAC are not available in
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating systems over a direct connection when the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard.
Table 2-2

Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003
Connection type

Common installer

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 media 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 HP Color LaserJet 3000. 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 printingsystem 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 preexisting bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.
ENWW Driver Configuration for Windows 31
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-communication 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 HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer 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 .
The following tables show the availability of EAC for various operating systems and network environments that support bidirectional communication.

HP Driver Preconfiguration
HP Driver Preconfiguration 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
Preconfiguration, 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 Preconfiguration 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:
● device 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 Preconfiguration 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 preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps:
● driver acquisition
● driver preconfiguration
● driver installation and deployment
34 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
ENWW
These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.
The configuration process for driver preconfiguration 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 Editor. The HP Driver Configuration Editor 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) Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary Windows software program is used.
The HP Driver Configuration Editor is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw
● The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queuecreation program that can be used to create printer queues on any Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 or workstation. The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin 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. The plug-in is limited to Internet
Explorer browsers. Netscape Navigator is not supported.
The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/sbso/tpm/web_jetadminplugin.html
●
HP Customization Utility/Silent Installer. The Customization Utility features an install-time mode of HP Driver Preconfiguration. IT administrators can use the utility to preconfigure the drivers for a printing-system software driver installation that uses the silent installer.
For detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools, see the HP Driver
Preconfiguration Support Guide at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw
Lockable features
The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings:
●
Print on Both Sides (duplex). The options are True or False.
●
Print in Grayscale. The options are Disable or Enabled.
●
Media Type. The options include all the media types that the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer
supports (see Media attributes in the Engineering Details chapter).
●
Paper Source. The options are Printer Auto Select, Manual Feed (Tray 1), Tray 1, or Tray 2.
When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users.
Generally, the feature is unavailable in the driver UI after it has been locked.
Driver Configuration for Windows 35
Continuous export
The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the driver to copy the latest driver settings back to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be transferred when a compatible version of the driver is used to upgrade the print driver. For instance, if the orientation is set to Landscape in a driver originally installed in Windows 2000, then the orientation setting automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to Windows XP or
Windows Server 2003. The continuous export feature functions transparently from the user's perspective and works only between drivers of identical product models.
NOTE
Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the exportable components are always the same as the components that can be preconfigured.
The following table shows drivers and operating systems that support HP Driver Preconfiguration.

International Color Consortium profiles
HP provides cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) (HP3000C.ICM) and standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
(HP3000R.ICM) International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles with the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer.
The CMYK profile can only be used with a postscript driver; the sRGB profile can be used with any of the HP Color LaserJet 3000 print drivers. The profiles are available at the following HP Web site: www.hp.com/support/clj3000
The ICC profiles describe the way color will be interpreted in the default CMYK and RGB modes. These profiles can be used for color conversions in a color-managed workflow. The sRGB profile matches the default RGB mode (sRGB), which is enabled with the Default (sRGB) or Color setting in either a PCL or postscript driver. The printer interprets CMYK data according to the Specifications for Web Offset
Publications (SWOP) simulation when Default CMYK+ is the selected CMYK Color setting in the postscript driver, and a more accurate SWOP rendering can be produced by selecting the SWOP setting.
This standard defines how a particular set of CMYK ink colors should behave. Emulation for Dainippon
Press (DIC) and Euro-standard CMYK inks used in Asia and Europe are also available and can be selected from the print driver.
40 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
PANTONE color profiles
Most software programs that support the use of PANTONE* colors for graphic objects will include the
PANTONE* name in the postscript output along with the color values that are assigned to the object.
For best results, select a software program that uses PANTONE* palette in a CMYK workspace, and print with one of the following postscript drivers:
●
PS Emulation Unidriver in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
●
PS Emulation Driver in Windows 98 and Windows Me
When SWOP is selected as the CMYK Color setting, these CMYK values provides a good reproduction of the PANTONE* 4C spot-color simulations.
PANTONE* provides device- and software-specific palettes for some HP Color LaserJet products. Using the custom colors in these palettes can provide an alternative match to the 4C spot-color simulation.
However, files that use these palettes are not portable to other devices.
PANTONE* Application Palettes are available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/support/clj3000
Vector graphics, such as company logos that are created in PANTONE* Application Palettes, can be imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other Microsoft Office software programs. The color program must create an encapsulated postscript (.EPS) file of the image that will be imported. Use the
Insert file function to import the file into the Office document.
NOTE
Cutting and pasting from the clipboard does not work. These tasks do not preserve the
PANTONE* name or the CMYK palette value.

HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) is a standard feature on the following
HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer models when they are connected through a network:
●
HP Color LaserJet 3000n
●
HP Color LaserJet 3000dn
●
HP Color LaserJet 3000dtn
The base model, the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer, can use the HP EWS if an optional EIO Jetdirect card is installed.
The HP EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management. Instead of installing management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin, use HP EWS for remote management in offices that have a limited number of products. The only requirement is that the management console must have a supported Web browser.
In environments that have a larger number of products, in which one-to-one management is impractical, the HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin work together to provide scalable remote product management. Use HP Web Jetadmin for consolidated management tasks when you want to perform operations on a selected set of products. For such environments, HP provides hooks between the
HP EWS and HP Web Jetadmin so that you can configure HP EWS features on multiple products in one operation. For example, you can set the security password for the HP EWS simultaneously on a cluster of products.
For additional information and a copy of the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide, go to: www.hp.com/ support/clj3000 .
Access to the HP EWS
To open the HP EWS and view information about the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer, open a supported
Web browser and type the product transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) address or host name in the address field.
To find the product TCP/IP address, look for IP Address on the Embedded Jetdirect page, in the TCP/
IP section. To find the host name of the product, look for Host Name in the TCP/IP section.
You also can view information about an installed HP Jetdirect print server by clicking the Networking tab in the HP EWS window.
The TCP/IP address also appears on the product configuration page (the Embedded Jetdirect page), which you can print from the product control-panel display. Follow these steps to print an Embedded
Jetdirect page:

3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the traditional print drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 3000 in
Windows 98 and Windows Me.
NOTE
For a comparison of features between the HP unidrivers and HP traditional print drivers in various operating systems, see
Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems
.
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 media 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 print drivers by using the printing-system installer in Windows 98 or Windows Me, the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver is installed by default. You can install the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver by performing a Custom Installation.
NOTE
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the HP Color LaserJet 3000 print drivers, but you can use print drivers for legacy HP products whose feature sets closely match the
HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer feature set. For instance, you can use the HP Color LaserJet
4650 drivers, but some print-driver features might be missing and color quality might be compromised. HP does not support the use of any print driver other than the driver that is supplied for the product. When you install the print drivers in Windows NT 4.0, you must use the Add
Printer installation method to install the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional
PCL 5 Driver.
This chapter describes the options that are available on each tab of the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver Properties print-driver interface. It also shows the tabs that are available on the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver interface for Windows 98 and Windows Me.
This chapter also describes differences between the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional
PCL 5 Driver.

Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me
Depending on the operating system on which you are installing the print drivers, you can gain access to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces in several ways.
To gain access to the print-driver settings from within most software programs, follow these steps:
1.
Click File.
2.
Click Print.
3.
Click Properties.
The appearance and names of the driver tabs can vary, depending on the operating system. These driver settings apply only while that software program is open.
Properties driver tabs
In Windows 98 and Windows Me, you have access to a single set of driver tabs. To gain access to the print drivers, follow these steps:
1.
Click Start.
2.
Select Settings.
3.
Click Printers.
4.
Right-click the product name.
5.
Click Properties to gain access to all print-driver tabs.
The settings that you make on these driver tabs control print-job output and become the default settings for all software programs. The following print-driver tabs are available in Windows 98 and Windows Me:
●
General tab
●
Details tab
●
Color Management tab
●

Help system
The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver include a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
What's this? Help
Windows 98 and Windows Me support What's this? Help. You can gain access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
●
Right-click a control and then click What's this?. A pop-up Help window appears.
●
Click the ? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control, the pop-up Help window for that feature appears.
●
Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.
Context-sensitive Help
When you click the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, a context-sensitive Help message appears.
Incompatible Options messages
Incompatible Options 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. For example, if you click Print on Both Sides and then change the media type to Transparency, a message appears asking you to resolve this conflict.
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.`
ENWW
Figure 3-1
A typical constraint message with an OK button
Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK and Cancel buttons, the interpretation of the buttons is as follows:
●
Click OK to accept the change that was just made. The driver then resets the conflicting control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.
● Click Cancel to reject the change that was just made. The control returns to its previous value.

The bubble typically appears next to a control that is unavailable, although it can also accompany an available control if an important note concerning its use is available within the Help. Moving the pointer over the bubble changes the arrow to a gloved hand, which indicates that the area underneath the pointer is selectable. When the bubble is selected by using either the mouse or the keyboard, a message box appears that contains a brief explanation about why the control is disabled and what can be done to enable it. If the control is not disabled, the message is a tip or a precaution that you should be aware of when using that particular feature.

Print Task Quick Sets
The first group box in the upper portion of the Finishing tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Because they are all the same control, any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the tab affects the Print Task Quick Sets group boxes on all of the Properties driver tabs that have the Print

Use the Print Task Quick Sets setting to store the current combination of driver settings that appear on all of the other print driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are either preset by network-administrator settings or user-defined printing specifications (such as media size, pages per sheet, and so on).
By default, the Print Task Quick Sets menu is set to Type new Quick Set name here. When you change any of the default settings on any of the Properties driver tabs and you want to save the configuration as a Print Task Quick Set, highlight the words Type new Quick Set name here, type the name you want for your new Print Task Quick Set, and then click Save. The Print Task Quick Sets are saved in the system registry. To delete a Print Task Quick Set, select it in the drop-down menu and click
Delete.
NOTE
Administrators can predefine Print Task Quick Sets for their users. These administrator
Print Task Quick Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but usually cannot be modified by users. Users can also define Print Task Quick Sets for their own use.
You can store a maximum of 25 Print Task Quick Sets on a particular system. If you attempt to save more, a message box appears that contains the following message: There are too many Print Task
Quick Sets defined. Please delete some before adding new ones.

Automatically printing on both sides
The duplexing unit in the 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 Color LaserJet 3000 printer comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following models:
●
HP Color LaserJet 3000dn
●
HP Color LaserJet 3000dtn
110 Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports 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 media types support the smart duplexing feature, except for media types that cannot be printed on both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following media types:
●
Prepunched
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
When the media 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 printer needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the printer to use a group of settings, such as fuser temperature and print speed, to produce the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as a mode or print mode, and a different print mode is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used.
Manually printing on both sides
Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the media for the
HP Color LaserJet 3000 and HP Color LaserJet 3000n printer models, which do not have a duplexing unit installed. Also select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer models for media types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick media.
Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP Traditional
PCL 6 Driver or the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver. (The PS Emulation Driver does not support this feature.) If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the product automatically prints on both sides of media types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4,
Legal, and 8.5 x 13, only), and forces manual printing on both sides for media types that are not supported.
To make the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box available in the document options, select the
Allow Manual Duplexing check box on the Configure tab in the Properties print-driver tabs. See
Configure tab features section of this chapter.
If you want to print on both sides manually while using media that is supported for automatic duplexing, you must click to clear the Duplexing Unit check box on the Configure tab.
Select the media type that corresponds to the media that you are using for the print job. The following media types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side:
●
Plain
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
● Prepunched
●
Bond
●
Recycled
Finishing tab features 111
●
Colored
● Rough
Cardstock media can be manually printed on the second side, but no change occurs to the print mode.
Transparencies and labels should not 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 media (on which the even-number pages have been printed) as indicated in the following figure.
Figure 3-4
Print on Both Sides Instructions dialog box
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 media. 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, which is available only when Print on Both Sides is selected, to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip Pages Up check box is not available. The following table demonstrates the results of selecting this check box, depending on the media orientation that is selected on the Basics tab.

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 Printing
The Booklet Printing drop-down menu is visible when Print on Both Sides is selected and a supported media size is selected in the Size is: drop-down menu on the Paper tab. The Booklet Printing dropdown menu offers choices that are based on the current media size. The default setting is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the media size that is set on the
Paper tab:
●

● Size is: (on the Paper tab) is set to Letter, Legal, or A4.
If any of these conditions is not met (except the first), a Bubble Help appears next to Booklet
Printing to tell you why it is disabled.
Book and Booklet Printing
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports both book and booklet printing.
A book is a print job that consists of at least two pages. It can have a different media type for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Front Cover, First Page, Other Pages,
Last Page, or Back Cover settings on the Paper tab (available when you select the Use Different
Finishing tab features 113
Paper/Covers check box) to select different printing options for the book. For more information, see
Paper tab features in this chapter.
A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can be folded into a booklet that is half the size of the media type. Use the Booklet Printing drop-down menu on the Finishing tab to control booklet settings.

Graphic Settings
The Graphics Settings group box contains the Raster Compression drop-down menu.
Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics-compression method. The Raster
Compression drop-down menu provides the following settings:
●
Automatic. The print driver determines the best compression method to use. This is the default setting.
●
Best Quality. This setting forces the print driver to use a lossless compression method. (Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.)
●
Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this setting requires the print driver to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost).
Font Settings
In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which provides an alternative for software programs that cannot easily use TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The Send TrueType as Bitmaps check box is not selected (clear) by default. If you select this option, the driver sends TrueType fonts to the printer as outlines, which retains the standard format (outlines) of the fonts.
Output Settings
The Output Settings group box contains the following controls and default settings:
●
Use the Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature to address the moiré effect that is created when certain programs encounter certain patterns. Use this feature to turn off the pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns, but the printed result might look better. The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch patterns. This option is selected by default.
●
The Print All Text as Black feature is not selected by default. When the feature 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 Graphics as Vector. Select this setting to send graphics to the printer as a combination of
HP Graphics Language, V2 (HP-GL/2), and raster images. This setting might produce higherquality output.
● Send Graphics as Raster. Select this setting to send all graphics to the printer as images composed of individual dots. This setting might improve printing speed in some cases.
●
Send Page as Raster. Select this setting to send all graphics and text (TrueType fonts) to the printer as images composed of individual dots. Use Send Page as Raster if you are experiencing problems with overlapping text and graphics. With this setting, the Send TrueType as Bitmaps option has no effect.
Font Settings
In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which provides an alternative for software programs that cannot easily use TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or slanting.

Use Print Document On to format the document for one media size, and then print the document on a different media size, with or without scaling the page image to fit the new media size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●
% of Normal Size is not 100.
●
Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard media sizes that the selected media source supports and any custom size 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 media size.
Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit option specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target media 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 media. If the document size is larger than the target media size, then the document image is clipped. If the document size is smaller, then it is centered within the target media. The following figure shows preview images for a document formatted for Legal-size media with the Print Document On option selected and the target size specified as Letter.
ENWW
Figure 3-10
Preview images – Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
Effects tab features 121
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the document preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target page size.
% of Normal Size
The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of the normal size. The normal size is defined as the media size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the media size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the printer.
The limits of the range are from 25% 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%.
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 Normal Size:
●

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, and a Bubble Help message appears that explains why the button is disabled and how to make it available.
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 in a different font or size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique (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-;eft 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.
Document preview image

●
●
●
Size is
The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes.
NOTE
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.
You can specify size for all of the settings in the Paper Options group box. When you set the media size in the driver, the entire print-job output uses that media size. That is, if the print job uses Letter-size
Paper tab features 129
media, any option that you select from the available Use Different Paper/Covers options must also use Letter-size media.
Because print-driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is generally best to use the print driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.
NOTE
Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or select another tray.
For information about media sizes, see Media attributes .
When the Use Different Paper/Covers check box is selected and different options are configured, the
Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: menus change, offering a variety of options. For more information, see

Custom
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom button on the Paper tab. The following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
NOTE
The Custom button is not available when Use Different Paper/Covers is selected
and any setting other than First Page is also selected.

Custom Paper Size dialog box
When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name group contains one of two things, depending on the current paper-size selection on the Paper tab:
● If the paper-size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu contains the name of that custom size.
●
If the paper-size selection is a standard media size, then the drop-down menu shows the default name Untitled (plus a number sign [#] and a numerical value) for a custom media size.

ENWW
NOTE
In Windows 98 and Windows Me, two names for the same size media can coexist (for example, "big" and "BIG" can both be used as names for custom-size media measuring 8.4 inches x 11 inches).
The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom media-size names, and not against the standard media-size names.
The complete set of titles for this button and the specific characteristics that determine its title and capabilities are discussed in the
section.
Name
The Name drop-down menu shows the name of the custom media size that was selected most recently.
Use the Name drop-down menu to select from the list of currently defined custom media sizes, or to type a new name for a custom media size.
The name that appears in the Name drop-down menu is one of three things, depending on the following conditions:
●
If a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu and the other controls in the dialog box have not been changed since, then the Name drop-down menu shows the name of the last selected custom media size.
● If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was selected or saved, or if a saved media size has just been deleted, then the Name drop-down menu shows the default name of "Untitled."
●
If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the drop-down menu until a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu.
If you type a new name into the Name drop-down menu, but then do not click Save, you can change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if a saved media-size name is selected from the drop-down menu, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning, and replaced by the values of the selected custom media size.
Paper tab features 131
Save, Delete, or Rename
The dynamic command button located under the Name drop-down menu has three possible labels:
Save, Delete, and Rename.
●
Save is the button title whenever the height and width values have been changed since the most recent save action or since the selection of an existing custom media size. Clicking the button causes the name in the Name drop-down menu to be compared against each of the saved names.
If a duplicate is found, a dialog box appears, asking if it is okay to replace the existing item. If you click Yes, the old item is updated with the new values. If you click No, the driver returns to the
Custom Paper Size dialog box, where you can type a different name. The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom media names, and not against the standard media-size names. Whenever the command button has the Save title, it is the default button.
●
Delete is the button title whenever the name of an existing (previously saved) custom media size appears in the Name drop-down menu, such as immediately after selecting an item from the dropdown menu or clicking Save. Clicking Delete causes the saved custom media size to be deleted, after which the Name drop-down menu changes to Untitled, the height and width controls are unchanged, and the button title changes to Save.
●
Rename is the button title when you type something into the Name drop-down menu after selecting an existing custom media size from the drop-down menu. If no duplicate is found, then the name of the stored custom media size changes to match the contents of the Name drop-down menu.
The following table illustrates the relationships between the Name drop-down menu, the command button, and the actions that take users from one state to another.

Custom size (width and height controls)
The width and height values can be changed either by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes, or by using the up and down arrows. The paper and envelope icons visually define width and height.
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. See
Custom width and height control limits
.
If units are in millimeters, the custom media-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom media-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. Clicking the up and down arrows increases or decreases the current value by the increment amount (within the allowed range of values). The computer determines the rate at which the values change.
Unit indicator labels change dynamically to indicate inches or millimeters, depending on the measurement units the driver is currently using. To change measurement units, click the dynamic measurement units button (either Use Inches or Use Metric).
Custom width and height control limits
The minimum media size for the HP Color LaserJet 3000 is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) and the maximum is 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). The following table summarizes media size limits for each media-handling device.

Status dialog box
The unlabeled dialog box on the Job Storage tab contains a status message about the destination of a print job. The status information changes depending on the selections that are made on the Job
Storage tab.
Job Storage Mode
Use the Job Storage Mode options on the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer to store documents at the product and then control their printing at the product control panel.
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer offers the following Job Storage Mode options:
●
●
●
●
●
These options and the settings that control them are described in the following sections.
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, and the product must have a minimum total memory of 128 MB.
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 product control panel. You can set the number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be stored in the product 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 proof-andhold 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 will overwrite the existing job. Proof-and-hold 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-andhold 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 hard disk will overwrite the existing document.
Private Job
To use the Private Job option, the job-storage feature must be enabled, and the product must have a minimum total memory of 128 MB.
Job Storage tab features 145
When you select Private Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request the job at the product control panel. Selecting Private Job activates the PIN group 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. If more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. Private jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.
The Private Job/PIN coupling has a PIN restriction of four ASCII numeric characters (0 though 9). If you type non-numeric characters, they are removed immediately. The text field does not allow you to type more than four characters. The field temporarily accepts fewer than four digits in the string, but when the edit field loses focus, the zeroes pad the left end until the PIN contains exactly four digits. The default initialized value for the PIN is 0000 for Private Job.
Quick Copy
To use the Quick Copy option, a hard disk must be installed on the product 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.
NOTE
The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-andhold 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. 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 product 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 product hard disk, you can print the job at the product control panel.
The job remains stored in the product until it is deleted or is overwritten by a document that has the same user name and job name. Stored jobs remain on the product 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 private or a public job.
Select the Require PIN to Print check box to set the private mode. Use a private stored job to send a print job directly to the product, which can then be printed only after you type a PIN up to 4 digits long at the product control panel. (You can set the PIN in the PIN group box.)
After the job is printed, the job remains in the product and can be printed again at the product control panel.
The box labeled PIN is usually inactive. The Require PIN to Print option becomes available when you select Stored Job. If you select the Require PIN to Print box, you must type a PIN to make the stored job private.
146 Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
NOTE
A private stored job is not the same as a private job (see above). Private 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.
PIN
The PIN group box is usually inactive. The option within the PIN group box, PIN to Print, is activated if you select either of the following options:
● Select Private Job. If selected, you must type the PIN number at the product control panel in order
to print the job. For more information, see Private Job
.
●
Select Stored Job, and then select the Require PIN to Print check box. If the Require PIN to
Print check box is selected, you must type a PIN in order to make the stored job private. For more information, see
.
Job Notification Options
Clicking a job-storage mode selection causes the Job Notification Options group box to become available. The Display Job ID when printing check box is selected by default. The Display Job ID
when printing option causes a pop-up dialog box to appear when the job-storage print job is printed.
The dialog box shows the user name and job name that are associated with the stored print job, as well as the product name, port, and location.
User Name
Use the User Name settings to help identify the job at the product control panel. The following are the User Name settings:
● Windows 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 the
Custom option, the text field below the option becomes available. The User Name field can contain no more than 16 characters.
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. 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 the
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.
Job Storage tab features 147
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 + (1-999). After you create the print job name, or when one is created automatically, the product software assigns a number between 1 and 999 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.

Print Task Quick Sets are either preset (by the administrator) or user-defined printing specifications, such as media size and pages per sheet. For more information, see
Copies
Use the Copies option to specify the number of copies to print.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies group box. You can select the number by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999. 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 Basics tab, invalid entries into the edit 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 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 that you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible.
Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the way that media feeds into the printer. 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 three options:
● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media.
●
Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media.
● 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 media.
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.

156 Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of three components:
● Adaptive Halftoning, which increases edge sharpness
●
Trapping, which reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects
● Color Resolution Enhancement Technology (C-REt), which increases the apparent resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges
The Edge Control option offers four settings:
● Normal. The Normal setting provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to
On, and C-REt is set to On.
●
Light. The Light setting provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On and C-REt is set to On.
●
Maximum. The Maximum setting provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On, and C-REt is set to On.
●
Off. The Off setting turns Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt to Off.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the product firmware. You can adjust the Neutral Grays setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs. The following options are available:
●
Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default setting for the Text and Graphics components.
●
4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible black. 4-Color is the default setting for Photographs.
Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a printer-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded in the product firmware. Halftoning is a method by which the product mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. The Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of the color on the printed page. You can select Halftone settings for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The following Halftone settings are available:
●
Detail. This is the default option; it is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option for sharp edges and detail.
●
Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth area fills.
Print in Grayscale
Select Print in Grayscale to print a document in black and white. This option is useful for previewing preliminary copies of slides and hard-copy output quickly or for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed.

Automatic 2-sided printing is not supported for the following media types:
●
Transparency
● Labels
●
Extra Heavy
● Cardstock
●
Tough Paper
● Envelope
NOTE
These printer models support smart duplexing. The product uses the smart duplexing feature to detect information on both sides of the print job pages and runs the pages through the duplexing unit only if there is printable information on the second side of the page.
Allow Manual Duplexing
Select Allow Manual Duplexing to print on both sides of any size and most types of media (except transparencies, envelopes, and labels). To use this feature, you must reinsert the media stack into the input tray to print the second side. The product pauses while you make this adjustment.

ENWW
Mopier Enabled
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 temporarily storing it in memory.
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 Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the product has an installed hard disk or a minimum total memory of 128 MB, and the Mopier Enabled setting on the
Configure tab is on.
Mopier mode and collation
Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. The print driver performs mopying, which is the ability to send multiple original print jobs to the product. Collating is controlled by using either the print driver or the document software program. Click to clear the Mopier Enabled selection on the Configure tab to disable the feature.
Control collation through the print driver by selecting or clearing the Ignore Application Collation check box in the More Configuration Options dialog box that appears when you click More… on the
Configure tab. You can clear the check box, which is available only when the Mopier Enabled setting on the Configure tab is selected, to allow the software program to control collation.
To receive uncollated multiple copies of a print job with the mopier enabled, you must clear the Ignore
Application Collation check box and make sure that the software program collation feature is not selected.
The following table shows the relation between Mopier Enabled 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 three-page print job would appear.

HPPJLEncoding
The HPPJLEncoding feature contains the control for the UTF8 feature.
Economode
The Economode feature contains the following options:
●
False (default)
●
True
The EconoMode feature allows the product to use less toner per page. It has been available to legacy
HP monochrome printers; with the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer, it is now possible for color printing as well.
Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and reduces cost per page. However, it also reduces print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time when the average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if toner remains in the cartridge.
NOTE
The EconoMode setting might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed.
HP print cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as the quantity of ink. If the EconoMode setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply of ink is depleted, increasing the risk of ink spillage. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem.
Job storage
The default value for this setting is Off, which means that the print job will not be stored in the product.
NOTE
The job-storage feature requires at least 128 MB of total memory or the installation of a printer hard disk. The printer hard disk is available as an optional accessory for all models.
If the job-storage feature is enabled (without installing a hard disk but with at least 128 MB of total memory), two Job Storage Mode settings are available on the Job Storage tab:
●
Proof and Hold
●
Private Job
182 Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows ENWW

Two additional Job Storage Mode settings become available on the Job Storage tab if a hard disk is installed:
●
Quick Copy
●
Stored Job
● Quick Copy. 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.
NOTE
The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proofand-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 hard disk will overwrite the existing document. Quick
Copy jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.
●
Proof and Hold.
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 product 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 proof-and-hold job to the product with the same user name and job name as an existing proof-andhold job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job. Proof-and-hold 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 proofand-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 hard disk will overwrite the existing document.
●
Private Job. When you select Private Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request the job at the product control panel. The print job can be printed only after you type the correct PIN at the control panel.
After selecting Private Job from the Device Options tab, scroll to the PIN digit 1 (for Private
Job) control, click to select it, and then select a number from the Change setting for: PIN digit 1
(for Private Job) list. Repeat this process to select a number for each of the remaining three PIN digits. If you do not select a PIN, the default PIN of 0000 is used.
After it is released for printing, the private 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. If more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second private job that has the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Private 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.
HP Traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver features 183
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.
You can disable the job-storage feature while leaving the printer hard disk enabled. To disable the job-storage feature, click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the product name, click Properties, click the Device Options tab, select Job Storage: from the Printer
features list, and then select Disabled in the Change setting for: Job Storage list.
To gain access to the Job Storage tab in Windows 98 or Windows Me, click Start on the Windows task bar, click Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the product name, and then click

●
●
VMOption. This option shows the amount of virtual memory (RAM) in the product.
Tray 3
This control specifies whether you have an additional 500-sheet feeder tray (Tray 3) installed on the printer. The default setting is Uninstalled.
Duplex Unit (for 2-sided Printing)
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer is equipped with automatic 2-sided printing (duplexing), which allows you to print on both sides of supported media. Automatic 2-sided printing is not supported for the following media types:
●
Transparency
●
Labels
● Extra Heavy
●
Cardstock
●
Tough Paper
●
Envelope
NOTE
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports smart duplexing. The printer detects information on both sides of the print job pages and runs the pages through the duplexing unit only if printable information appears on the second side of the page.
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. 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 Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the Mopier
Mode: setting on the Device Options tab is Enabled.
Printer Hard Disk
When this option is enabled, the Job Storage option and the Mopier Mode option are enabled in the print driver. Use the Job Storage option to store print jobs and then print them later from the control panel.

● Archive Format. Use this setting to create a PostScript file that you can use later.
●
PJL archive format. This setting notifies the printer that the document is being printed in a different printer language.
HP Traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver features 193
PostScript header
Use the PostScript header options to specify whether to send header information to the product each time you print a document. The following options are available:
●
Download header with each print job. This is the default setting and is sufficient or most types of printing. Use this setting if you print to a shared network product or to a file on a disk.
●
Assume header is downloaded and retained. If you print to a local printer, you can save printing time by sending the header information to the product only once.
●
Send Header Now. Click this button to send header information to the product. This option is unavailable when you specify EPS, Archive, or PJL Archive formats.
Print PostScript error information
Use the Send PostScript error information option to print postscript error messages after the document has been printed. The PS Emulation Driver can detect certain errors that Microsoft Windows cannot. If you are having printing problems, click this option. This information can help you, a system administrator, or a product-support representative determine what caused the problem. The error message information is not included in EPS format.
PostScript timeout values
Use the following options to specify the postscript timeout values for the printer.
●
Job timeout. This control specifies how long the document can take to get from the computer to the product before the product stops trying to print the document. If you specify 0 seconds, the product continues trying to print indefinitely. The default setting is 0 seconds. You can use the spin box to change this value to a maximum of 32,767 seconds.
●
Wait timeout. This control specifies how long the product waits to get more postscript information from the computer. After the specified time passes, the product stops trying to print the document and prints an error message. If you are trying to print a very complicated document, you might want to increase this value. If you specify 0 seconds, the product waits indefinitely. The default setting is 300 seconds. You can use the spin box to change this value to a maximum of 32,767 seconds.

PostScript Language Level
The PostScript Language Level specifies which PostScript language level to use, from 1 to the highest level that the product supports. Some products support multiple levels. It is usually best to select the highest level that is available, because a higher language-level provides more features. In some instances, however, you would still use level 1. For example, if you are printing a file to disk and that file will be printed by someone who has a level-1 product, you would need to select level 1.
You can choose between PostScript Level 1 and PostScript Level 2 features for the
HP Color LaserJet 3000.
Bitmap compression
Use this control to specify whether to compress graphics before sending your document to the product.
If you are using PostScript level 2, or if you are using PostScript level 1 and a product connected to a serial port, click Compress bitmap images. If you are using PostScript level 1 and a product connected to a parallel port or if you are using a network product, click No bitmap compression.
HP Traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver features 195
Data format
This control specifies the protocol that the product uses for print jobs. The following options are available:
●
ASCII data. This is the default setting. When you click ASCII data, data is sent in ASCII format (7bit), which might take longer to print but can be sent through any I/O channel, such as a serial, parallel, or network port.
●
Binary communications protocol. When you click Binary communications protocol, the product sends all data except special control characters in binary (8-bit) format. This format can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and is faster than sending data in ASCII format.
If you select this option, click Send Mode to switch the product to Binary Communications Protocol
(BCP) for future print jobs.
NOTE
This option is available only if the computer is connected to the product through a direct connection (a USB or parallel cable).
●
Tagged binary communications protocol. When you click Tagged Binary Communications
Protocol, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format.
● Pure binary data. When you click Pure binary data, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format.
Send CTRL+D before job
This control specifies whether the product is reset at the beginning of every postscript document. The default setting is off (unselected). Pressing Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that previous print jobs do not affect the current print job. Using Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a product that is connected through parallel or serial ports, select the Send CTRL+D before job check box.
Send CTRL+D after job
This control specifies whether the product will be reset at the end of every postscript document. The default setting is off (unselected). Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that future print jobs are not affected by the current print job. Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a network product, click to select the Send CTRL+D before job check box.

Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP Color LaserJet 3000 unidrivers. The unidrivers are the
HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5 Unidriver, and the HP Postscript 3 Emulation Unidriver
(PS Emulation Unidriver) for Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), and
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit).
NOTE
For a comparison of features between the HP unidrivers and HP traditional print drivers in various operating systems, see
Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems
.
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 media 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 print-system software in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, the HP PCL 6 Unidriver is installed by default. The HP PCL 5 Unidriver and the PS Emulation Unidriver can be installed by performing a Custom Installation.
The following sections describe the options that are available on each tab of the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5 Unidriver, and the PS Emulation Unidriver
This chapter also describes differences between the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5 Unidriver, and the PS Emulation Unidriver. Unless otherwise noted, features described here apply to all three.

Context-sensitive Help
When you click the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, a context-sensitive Help message 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 Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations result in warning messages. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency media type is selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print
Settings message.

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 edit 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 box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible.
Collated
The Collated check box is visible when the Copy Count setting is selected. The check box becomes available and can be changed when the Copy Count setting is greater than 1.
When collated, pages print consecutively for each copy of the document. When not collated, copies of each page print together.
This setting is not synchronized with the collate setting in the software program Print dialog box. Settings in the software program override settings in the print driver. For instance, when using Microsoft Word, the Collate check box in the Print dialog box is selected by default. However, in the print driver, the
Collated check box in the Advanced tab is not selected by default. The software program setting takes precedence over the driver setting, and the printed output is collated by default. To obtain uncollated printed output, clear the Collate setting in both the driver and the software program. Similarly, if the
Collated check box is selected in the driver, but the Collate setting is not enabled in the software program, the printed output is uncollated.

Graphic
The Graphic setting contains the following controls:
●
Image Color Management settings
●
True Type Font settings
Image Color Management
This control lists the available Image Color Management (ICM) options used for printing color graphics.
ICM, a set of calculations for color matching, makes it possible for programs to adjust colors before printing so that the color of images on the screen more closely match the color of those images when they are printed. The following options are available:
●
ICM Method. The ICM Method setting specifies how to print color graphics.
●
To enable Image Color Management, click the option and then select ICM Enabled.
●
If you want the host computer to perform calculations for color matching before it sends the document to the product, click ICM Handled by Host System.
●
If you want the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer to perform calculations for color matching, click
ICM Handled by Printer. In this case, a set of rules for mapping the colors is created and downloaded to the product. The product uses these rules to adjust colors in the document.
●
ICM Intent. The ICM Intent setting specifies how color images are created to produce the image that looks best on the printed page.
●
If you are printing a chart or using fully saturated, bright colors, click Graphics.
●
For photographs or pictures where the colors blend together, click Pictures to maximize the contrast.
●
If your document uses a color that you need to match exactly, and you are sending the document to a product that has that specific color of ink, click Proof.
●
If you want to preview the color settings from another product, click Match.
True Type Font
Use Substitute with Device Font (the default setting) to print documents that contain TrueType fonts by using equivalent printer fonts. This permits faster printing; however, you might lose special characters that the equivalent printer font does not support. Select Download as Softfont to download TrueType fonts for printing instead of using printer fonts.
Document Options
The Document Options setting contains the following controls:
●
Advanced Printing Features
●
Print Optimizations
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,
Advanced tab features 205
depending on your product. For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features setting at the default (Enabled). If compatibility problems occur, you can disable the feature. However, some advanced printing features might still be available in the print driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced printing feature in the print driver that has been disabled on the
Advanced tab, the feature is automatically re-enabled.
Print Optimizations
NOTE
Print Optimization settings are available only in the HP PCL 6 Unidriver and HP PCL 5
Unidriver. They are not available in the PS Emulation Unidriver.
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.
PostScript Options
NOTE
Print Optimization settings are available only in the PS Emulation Unidriver. They are not available in the HP PCL 6 Unidriver and HP PCL 5 Unidriver.
Select one of the following settings in the PostScript Output Options drop-down menu:
●
Optimize for Speed. This is the default setting.
●
Optimize for Portability. Use this setting to create a file that conforms to the Adobe Document
Structuring Conventions (ADSC). Each page of the document is a self-contained object. This option is useful if you want to create a postscript file and print it on a different printer.
●
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). Use this setting to include the file as an image in another document that is to be printed from another program.
●
Archive format. Use this option to create a postscript file that you can use later.
Select one of the following settings in the TrueType Font Download drop-down menu:
● Automatic. This is the default setting. The PS Emulation Driver determines which format is best.
●
Outline. Select this option if you want to download the TrueType font as a scalable outline font.
●
Bitmap. Select this option to download the TrueType font as a bitmap font.
●
Native TrueTypeIf the printer is a TrueType rasterizer printer; select this option to download the
TrueType font as an outline font.
Select one of the following settings in the PostScript Language Level drop-down menu:
●
3
●
2
●
1
The default setting is 3. It is usually better to select the highest number available, because it provides more features. In some instances, lower numbers might be necessary. For example, if you are printing a file to disk and that file is to be printed by someone with a level-1 printer, select 1.
206 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
Select one of the following settings in the Send PostScript Error Handler drop-down menu:
● Yes. This is the default setting. When an error occurs in the print job, an error page is sent to the printer.
●
No. Select this setting if you do not want an error page to be printed when an error occurs.
Printer Features
The Printer Features setting contains the following controls:
●
Print All Text as Black
The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.
●
Send True Type as Bitmap
NOTE
The Send TrueType as Bitmap option is available only in the HP PCL 6 and
HP PCL 5 unidrivers. It is not available in the PS Emulation Unidriver.
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 printer as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.
●
Graphics Mode
NOTE
The Graphics Mode option is available only in the HP PCL 5 Unidriver. It is not available in the HP PCL 6 Unidriver or the PS Emulation Unidriver.
Use the Graphics Mode feature to select one of the following settings:
●
Send Graphics as Vector. Select this setting to send graphics to the product as a combination of HP Graphics Language, version 2 (HP-GL/2), and raster images. This setting might produce higher-quality output. It is the default setting.
●
Send Graphics as Raster. Select this setting to send all graphics to the product as images composed of individual dots. This setting might improve printing speed in some cases.
●
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 printer 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.
When this option is selected, you must use one of the following options in the Type is setting:
●
Letterhead
●
Preprinted
Advanced tab features 207
NOTE
Alternative Letterhead Mode is available only if the printer is equipped with an automatic duplexing unit.
●
Raster Compression
NOTE
The Raster Compression option is available only in the HP PCL 6 Unidriver. It is not available in the HP PCL 5 Unidriver or the PS Emulation Unidriver.
Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics-compression method:
●
Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use.
●
Best Quality. This option forces the software to use a lossless compression method.
(Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.)
●
Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this option requires the software to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost).
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 media 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 media does not change.

Size is
The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media 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 media-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set media size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include a media-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.
NOTE
Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or select another tray.
For information about media sizes, see the
Media attributes section of this STR.
When the Use Different Paper/Covers check box is selected and different options are configured, the
Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: menus change, offering a variety of options. For more information, see the

Name
Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom media size.
The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:
●
If a saved custom media 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 media size.
● If a standard media 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 media-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom media-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.

Type is
The Type is: drop-down menu shows all of the media types that the HP Color LaserJet 3000 supports.
When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the printer uses the default media type, which is usually
Plain.
No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information an updated list of media types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom media types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the driver.

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 the following Printing Preferences driver tabs:
●

●

●

●

Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image.
When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.
Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the following controls:
●
●
EconoMode
Select the EconoMode check box to reduce the amount of ink on each printed page. It has been available to legacy HP monochrome printers; with the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer, it is now possible for color printing as well.
Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and reduces cost per page. However, it also reduces print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time when the average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if toner remains in the cartridge.
NOTE
The EconoMode setting might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed.
HP print cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as the quantity of ink. If the EconoMode setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply of ink is depleted, increasing the risk of ink spillage. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem.
HP Digital Imaging

The following settings can be adjusted on the HP Digital Imaging Options dialog box:
●
Contrast Enhancement
●

●
SmartFocus
●
Sharpness
●
Smoothing
The HP Digital Imaging settings should be used only on high-resolution images (600 dpi or higher) that are printed on photograph-quality paper. These settings are not recommended for text.
For the Contrast Enhancement, Digital Flash, SmartFocus, and Smoothing settings, the following controls are available:
●
Automatic check box
●
A slide bar ranging from Off to High
The SharpFocus settings are Off and On.
Use the following controls to enhance digital images:
●
Contrast Enhancement. Use the Contrast Enhancement setting to increase image contrast for a more visually pleasing result. This filter is useful with flat images (images in which much of the image content is compressed into a small, dynamic range of pixel values). Flat images can result from low lighting, environmental haze, or camera or scanner limitations.
●
Digital Flash. Use the Digital Flash setting to adjust lighting levels to reveal areas in shadow. The filter locates dark areas in an image and brings out detail without degrading other features in the image.
226 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for Windows ENWW
●
Sharpness. Many images are improved by increasing their sharpness. Use the Sharpness feature to make edge detail more prominent. The filter detects regions that contain significant variations in pixel value along a number of different vectors (which denotes edges) and then applies a filter to enhance detail.
● SmartFocus. Use the SmartFocus setting to increase the apparent resolution of lower resolution images. Many images that are downloaded from the Internet or from digital cameras can be compressed because of size restrictions, and might exhibit pixilation artifacts when printed.
SmartFocus upscales the image to the printer resolution without accentuating these artifacts.
●
Smoothing. Just as many images benefit from increased sharpness, many images are improved by smoothing, which decreases noise artifacts that digital cameras or scanners often create. When you select Smoothing, the filter locates areas that contain abrupt changes in pixel value by comparison with surrounding pixels (which denotes noise) and then applies a filter to smooth the output.

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 media size and then print the document on a different media size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new media size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●
The % of Normal Size value is not 100.
●
The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard media sizes that the selected media 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 media.
Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target media 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 media. If the document size is larger than the target media size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target media. The following figure shows preview images for a document formatted for Legal-size media with the Print Document On check box selected, and the target size specified as Letter.
Effects tab features 229
Figure 4-13
Preview images – Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target page size.
% of Normal Size
The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of normal size. Normal size is defined as the media size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the media size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the printer.
The limits of the range are from 25% 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 Normal Size:
●

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.

Automatically printing on both sides
The duplexing unit in the 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 Color LaserJet 3000 printer comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following models:
● HP Color LaserJet 3000dn
●
HP Color LaserJet 3000dtn
These printer 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 media types support the smart duplexing feature, except for media types that cannot be printed on both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following media types:
●
Prepunched
●
Preprinted
● Letterhead
When the media 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 printer needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the printer to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the media with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.
Manually printing on both sides
●
Manually Print on 2nd Side is not selected
Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the media for the HP Color LaserJet 3000 and HP Color LaserJet 3000n printer models, which do not have a duplexing unit installed. Also select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other
HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer models for media types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick media.
Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6,
PCL 5, or PS emulation unidriver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the printer automatically prints on both sides of media types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, and 8.5 x 13 only), and forces manual printing on both sides for media types that are not supported.
Select the media type that corresponds to the media that you are using for the print job. The following media types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side:
●

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 the following Printing Preferences driver tabs:
●
Paper/Quality
●

●
Finishing
●
Color
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image.
When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.
Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the way that media feeds into the printer. 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.
Finishing tab features 241
The Orientation group box contains three options:
● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media.
●
Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media.
●
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 media.
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.

Status group box
The unlabeled group box on the Job Storage tab contains a status message about the destination of a print job. The status information changes depending on the selections that are made on the Job
Storage tab.
Job Storage Mode
Use the Job Storage Mode options on the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer to store documents at the product and then control their printing at the product control panel.
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer offers the following Job Storage Mode options:
●
Off
●
Proof and Hold
●
Private 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.
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 proof-andhold 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 will overwrite the existing job. Proof-and-hold 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-andhold 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.
246 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
Private Job
To use the Private Job option, the job-storage feature must be enabled.
When you select Private Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request the job at the product control panel. Selecting Private Job activates the PIN group 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 Private Job/PIN coupling has a PIN restriction of four ASCII numeric characters (0 though 9). If you type non-numeric characters, they are removed immediately. If you type more than four characters, the characters past the fourth are truncated. The field temporarily accepts fewer than four digits in the string, but when the edit field loses focus, the zeroes pad the left end until the PIN contains exactly four digits.
The default initialized value for the PIN is 0000 for Private Job.
After it is released for printing, the private 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 private job that has the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the job will overwrite the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Private 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.
NOTE
The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-andhold 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 private or a public job.
Job Storage tab features 247
Select the Require PIN to Print check box to set the private mode. Use a private stored job to send a print job directly to the product, which can then be printed only after you type a PIN up to 4 digits long at the product control panel. (You can set the PIN in the PIN group box.)
After the job is printed, the job remains in the product and can be printed again at the product control panel.
The box labeled PIN is usually inactive. The Require PIN to Print option becomes available when you select Stored Job. If you select the Require PIN to Print box, you must type a PIN to make the stored job private.
NOTE
A private stored job is not the same as a private job the previous section. Private 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.
Require PIN
Require PIN is available when Stored Job is selected. Select the PIN to Print box, then type a 4-digit
PIN number in the box provided. The stored job is sent to the product, where you must enter the 4-digit
PIN on the control panel to retrieve the stored job.
The PIN to Print box is selected, but not available, when Private Job is selected. Type a 4-digit PIN number in the box provided. The stored job is sent to the product, where you must type the 4-digit PIN on the control panel to retrieve the stored job.
Job Notification Options
Clicking a Job Storage Mode selection causes the User Name and Job Name options to become available. The Display Job ID when printing check box is selected by default. The Display Job ID
when printing option causes a pop-up dialog box to appear when the job-storage print job is printed.
The dialog box shows the user name and job name that are associated with the stored print job, as well as the product name, port, and location.
User Name
Use the User Name settings to help identify the job at the product control panel. The following are the User Name settings:
● Windows 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 Windows 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.
248 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
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. 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 the
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 + (1-999). After you create the print job name, or when one is created automatically, the product software assigns a number between 1 and 999 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.

Color tab features 253
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of three components:
● Adaptive Halftoning, which increases edge sharpness
●
Trapping, which reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects
● Color Resolution Enhancement Technology (C-REt), which increases the apparent resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges
The Edge Control option offers four settings:
● Off. The Off setting turns Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt to Off.
●
Light. The Light setting provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On and C-REt is set to On.
● Normal. The Normal setting provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to
On, and C-REt is set to On.
●
Maximum. The Maximum setting provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On, and C-REt is set to On.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the product firmware. You can adjust the Neutral Grays setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs. The following options are available:
●
Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default setting for the Text and Graphics components.
●
4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible black. 4-Color is the default setting for Photographs.
Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a product-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded in the product firmware. Halftoning is a method by which the product mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. The Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of the color on the printed page. You can select Halftone settings for text, graphics, and photographs independently.
The following Halftone options are available:
●
Detail. This is the default option; it is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option for sharp edges and detail.
●
Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth area fills.

Default (sRGB)
Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Colors are matched to optimize the RGB colors on the screen and to provide vivid images and graphics.
None
Select None to instruct the product to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render documents correctly when this option is selected, you must manage color within the software program or the operating system.
NOTE
To prevent poor image quality, use this option only if you are familiar with the procedures for managing color in the software program or the operating system.
Custom Profile
Select Custom Profile when you want to duplicate the printed output from other printers or for using special effects. This setting instructs the product to use a custom input profile to more accurately predict and control color output.
The default Custom Profile is an emulation of the color table used on the HP LaserJet 4650 printer. The printer holds only one custom profile at a time, so when you download and install another color table, it erases the default color table and installs the new one.
You can download custom profiles from the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/clj3000_firmware

Form to Tray Assignment
A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the media size in each input tray.
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports more than one source of media. You can assign a form
(which defines the media size and margins) to each media 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 media size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are available in the media-size list on the Paper/Quality tab in the Printing Preferences driver tabs.
This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the printer with media-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 media sources on the Paper/Quality tab.
Configuring the trays
1.
Select the appropriate tray in the Form to Tray Assignment list.
2.
Use the drop-down menu to select the media size (or form) that is loaded in that tray.

PS Emulation Unidriver Device Settings
The following controls are available and appear only in the PS Emulation Unidriver Device Settings tab.
Available PostScript Memory
This control specifies the amount of available postscript memory and provides a spin box for changing this value. The available postscript memory is a subset of the product total physical memory. It is usually best to set the postscript memory to match what is shown on the configuration page. To print a configuration page from the product control panel, follow these steps:
1.
Press (the select button; the one with the check mark) to open the menus.
2.
Press (the up button) and (the down button) to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press
.
3.
Press and to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION.
4.
Press to print the configuration page.

This control specifies the protocol that the product uses for print jobs. The following options are available:
●
ASCII (default)
●
TBCP
●
Binary
When you click ASCII, data is sent in ASCII format (7-bit), which might take longer to print but can be sent through any I/O channel, such as a serial, parallel, or network port.
When you click TBCP (Tagged Binary Communications Protocol), all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format.
When you click Binary, all data except special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit) format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial communications ports and are faster than sending data in ASCII format.

ENWW
Send Ctrl-D Before Each Job
This control specifies whether the product will be reset at the beginning of every postscript document.
The default setting is No. Pressing Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that previous print jobs do not affect the current print job. Using Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a product connected through parallel or serial ports, change No to Yes.
Send Ctrl-D After Each Job
This control specifies whether the product will be reset at the end of every postscript document. The default setting is Yes. Pressing Ctrl-D resets the product to its default setting to ensure that future print jobs are not affected by the current print job. Using Ctrl-D might cause a print job to fail if the product is connected through a network. If your document fails to print when sent to a network printer, change
Yes to No.
Convert Gray Text to PostScript Gray
This control specifies whether to convert the true gray value (RGB) in text to the gray provided by the
PS Emulation Driver. The following settings are available:
●
Yes
●
No. This is the default setting.
Convert Gray Graphics to PostScript Gray
This control specifies whether to convert the true gray value (RGB) in graphics to the gray provided by the PS Emulation Driver. The following settings are available:
●
Yes
●
No. This is the default setting.
Add Euro Currency Symbol to PostScript Fonts
This control specifies whether to add the Euro symbol to the printer fonts. The following settings are available:
●
Yes. This is the default setting.
●
No
Job Timeout
This control specifies how long the document can take to get from the computer to the product before the product stops trying to print the document. If you specify 0 seconds, the product continues trying to print indefinitely. The default setting is 0 seconds. You can use the spin box to change this value to a maximum of 32,767 seconds.
Wait Timeout
This control specifies how long the product waits to get more postscript information from the computer.
After the specified time passes, the product stops trying to print the document and prints an error message. If you are trying to print a very complicated document, you might want to increase this value.
If you specify 0 seconds, the product waits indefinitely. The default setting is 300 seconds. You can use the spin box to change this value to a maximum of 32,767 seconds.
Device Settings tab features 263
Minimum Font Size to Download as Outline
This control specifies the minimum font size (in pixels) for which the driver downloads TrueType fonts as outline (Type 1) fonts. A font smaller than the minimum setting is downloaded as a bitmap (Type 3) font. Use this option to fine-tune the Automatic setting for the TrueType Font Download option on the
Advanced tab in Document Defaults. The default setting is 100 pixels. You can use the spin box to change this value to a maximum of 32,767 pixels.
Maximum Font Size to Download as Outline
This control specifies the maximum font size (in pixels) for which the driver will download TrueType fonts as bitmap (Type 3) fonts. A font larger than the maximum setting will be downloaded as an outline (Type
1) font. Use this option to fine-tune the Automatic setting or override the Send TrueType as Bitmap setting for the TrueType Font Download option on the Advanced tab in Document Defaults. The default setting is 600 pixels. You can use the spin box to change this value to a maximum of 32,767 pixels.
Installable Options
This section provides information to configure the printing options that you can install for the
HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer. The following controls are available:
●
Automatic Configuration (Off by default)
●
Tray 3
●
Duplex Unit (for 2-sided Printing)
●
Allow Manual Duplexing
●
Printer Memory
●
Printer Hard Disk
●
Job Storage
●
Mopier Mode
●
Postscript Pull through (PS Emulation Unidriver only)
Automatic Configuration
Use the Device Settings tab to tell the driver about the hardware configuration of the product. If bidirectional communication is enabled in a supported environment, set up this tab by selecting the
Update Now setting in the Automatic Configuration setting. The default setting is Off. After an automatic configuration, the setting returns to Off after the changes are made.
If your environment does not support bidirectional communication, the Update Now setting is unavailable, so you must manually configure the options on this tab.
If you have more than one driver installed for the product (for example, the default HP PCL 6 Unidriver and the HP PCL 5 Unidriver), the Update Now feature works automatically only on the driver on which it is activated. The other driver will not be updated, and might show the default setting for the specific product model.
264 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for Windows ENWW
ENWW
Tray 3
This control specifies whether you have tray 3, an additional 500-sheet tray, installed on the product.
The default setting is Not Installed.
Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)
The HP Color LaserJet 3000dn and the HP Color LaserJet 3000dtn printer models come with a duplex unit installed. This setting is enabled (Installed) by default.
NOTE
These printer models support smart duplexing. The product uses the smart duplexing feature to detect information on both sides of the print job pages and runs the pages through the duplexing unit only if there is printable information on the second side of the page.
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer supports smart duplexing. The product uses the smart duplexing feature to detect information on both sides of the print job pages and only runs the pages through the duplexing unit if printable information appears on the second side of the page.
Allow Manual Duplexing
Select Allow Manual Duplexing to print on both sides of any size and most types of media (except transparencies, envelopes, and labels). To use this feature, you must reinsert the media stack into the input tray to print the second side. The product pauses while you make this adjustment.
This setting is enabled by default.
Printer Memory
This option matches the setting to the amount of memory that is installed in the product. The driver generates ranges of memory that can be selected, up to the maximum that the product can accept. The driver can use this information to manage how the print driver uses the product memory.
Printer Hard Disk
When this option is enabled, 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.
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. 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 Color LaserJet 3000 supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device Settings tab is Enabled.
Device Settings tab features 265
When you use the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, HP PCL 5 Unidriver, or PS Emulation Unidriver, mopying is performed in one of two ways: either through the software or through the product hardware. When the mopier is enabled, mopying takes place through the product hardware by default. One copy of a multiplepage 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 the mopier, you are not necessarily disabling mopying, which the driver can still perform through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is disabled when you change the Mopy 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 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. 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.

Postscript Passthrough (PS Emulation Unidriver only)
Postscript Passthrough is enabled by default, and must be enabled for most print jobs. Postscript passthough provides additional capabilities for some software programs when printing to a postscript driver. Options such as Watermarks, n-up and Booklet Printing might not print correctly from some software programs with Postscript Passthrough enabled, because such programs send postscript
266 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation unidrivers for Windows ENWW
information to the printer that cannot be controlled by the driver. Other programs might print using these options without problems. Select Disabled and print the document again if you encounter problems.
NOTE
In some cases, disabling Postscript Passthrough can cause unexpected results within a software program.

Installation instructions
The following sections provide instructions for installing the print drivers on various Windows operating systems.
General installation for Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP operating systems
Installation is similar for the Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems. The Windows NT 4.0 operating system does not support the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer.
NOTE
The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver, the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver, and the
PS Emulation Driver are available on the printing-system software CD. For more information, see the
Installing print drivers by using Add Printer section in this chapter.
If the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer is connected through a file or print server, the printing-system software must first be installed on the server before being installed on any client systems. If the HP
LaserJet printing-system software is not first installed on the server, then bidirectional communication and some driver autoconfiguration methods are not available to the client systems.
For Windows 2000, and Windows XP, administrator rights on the system are necessary to install the software.
When the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printing-system installer runs, the HP LaserJet uninstaller is always added to the system.

Point and Print installation for Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, and Server 2003
The following information helps you install a print driver by using the Microsoft Point and Print function when you cannot see the product on the network.
Point and Print is a Microsoft term that describes a two-step driver installation process. The first step is to install a shared 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 print driver.
This section outlines the procedures for installing print drivers by using Point and Print. If these procedures are not successful, contact Microsoft.
Hewlett-Packard provides drivers that are compatible with the Point and Print feature, but this is a function of the Microsoft operating systems, not of HP print drivers. Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Windows Server 2003 drivers from HP are supported only on Intel X86 processor types.
To install the print driver on a Windows 2000,Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating system, you must have administrator privileges. To completely install the Windows 2000 print driver on the
Windows 2000 server, you must have administrator privileges on the server. The Windows 2000
Printer .INF file must contain the same product name as the Windows 98 or Windows Me printer .INF
file.
Point and Print installation of a postscript driver is supported only with a Microsoft Windows 98 or
Windows Me PS Driver V4.0 or later.
In a homogenous operating system environment (one in which all of the clients and servers are running in the same operating system), the same print 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.
Installation instructions 313
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 print 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, print drivers would run as user-mode processes. Usermode 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 print 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.

Macintosh component descriptions
The product includes the following software for Macintosh computers:
●
PPDs for Mac OS 9 V9.2.2 (Mac OS X Classic) and Mac OS X V10.1.5 and later
●
PDEs for Mac OS X only (V10.1.5 and later)
HP LaserJet PPDs
In Mac OS 9 V9.2.2 (Mac OS X Classic), postscript printer definition (PPD) files for the
HP Color LaserJet 3000 are installed to the Printer Descriptions folder, which is in the Extensions folder within the System folder.
In Mac OS X V10.1.5 or later, the PPDs are installed in Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/
Resources:<lang>.lproj, where <lang> is the appropriate localized folder.
The PPDs, in combination with the driver, provide access to the product features and allow the computer to communicate with the product. A print setup tool for the PPDs is provided on the printing-system software CD. For information about the print setup tools in various Macintosh operating systems, see
Table 6-1 Adding a printer in Macintosh operating systems
.
PDEs
Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs) are code plug-ins (for Mac OS X V10.1.5 or later only) that provide access to product features, such as number of copies, duplexing, and quality settings.
HP Embedded Web Server
Mac OS 9 V9.2.2 (Mac OS X Classic) supports the HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS). Use the
HP LaserJet Utility to control features that are not available in the driver. Use the HP EWS to perform the following tasks:
●
Name the product, assign it to a zone on the network, and change product settings.
●
Set a password for the product.
●

File to E-mail utility
The File to E-mail utility is a standalone Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) program that reads an .INI
file to detect where the HP LaserJet product software is installed. The program then attaches relevant log or history 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 your HP LaserJet 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 to you through e-mail or by posting it to an HP web page.
The tool is compatible with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
The File to E-mail utility runs with any MAPI-compliant e-mail programs. It does not run with Web-based e-mail services such as Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL.
Depending on the speed of the computer, it might take several seconds 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 on the HP Color LaserJet 3000 software
CD:
● <CD-ROM drive>util\CCC\FiletoEmail\FileToEmail.exe
●
<CD-ROM drive>util\CCC\FiletoEmail\FileToEmail.ini
To use the File to E-mail utility, copy these files to the desktop, navigate to them in Explorer, and then 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 an IT administrator, as shown in the following figure.
NOTE
The figure is provided as an example only. The actual files attached will vary, depending on your product.

Remote firmware update
The HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the latest printing-system software and print drivers.
The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:
1.
Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the product.
2.
Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer.
3.
Download the new firmware to the product.
Determining the current level of firmware
To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration page, follow these instructions.
1.
Press (the select button; the one with the check mark) to open the menus.
2.
Press and to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press .
3.
Press and to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION.
4.
Press to print the configuration page.
5.
Look in the "Printer Information" section on the configuration page for the firmware date code. The firmware date code looks something like this: 20051002 07.000.0.
Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site
The remote firmware update (.RFU) file and an associated readme file are packaged together as a selfextracting .EXE file. For detailed instructions about how to download the .EXE file, go to the following
URL: www.hp.com/go/clj3000_firmware
The .EXE file consists of a readme file and the .RFU file.
NOTE
For UNIX systems, the remote firmware update file is a .TAR file.
Downloading the new firmware to the product
For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to www.hp.com/support/ clj3000 .
The product can receive an RFU update to a product when the product is in a READY state. The product waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update.
NOTE
If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings. The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts.
346 Chapter 7 Engineering Details ENWW
ENWW
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the product to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the host computer that is sending the update and the I/O method (parallel or network). The reinitialization time depends on the specific hardware configuration of the product, such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper-handling devices, and the amount of memory that is installed.
Finally, any print jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are printed before the update is processed.
Use one of the methods described in this manual to update the printer firmware.
Printer messages during the firmware update
The following table lists the causes and results of possible interruptions to the firmware update.
Table 7-7
Troubleshooting a firmware update
Cause Result
The job was cancelled from the control panel.
No update has occurred.
A break in the I/O stream occurred during send (for example, the parallel cable was removed).
No update has occurred.

A power cycle occurred during the RECEIVING UPGRADE process.
A power cycle occurred during the PERFORMING
UPGRADE process.
A power cycle occurred during the INITIALIZING process.
No update has occurred. Resend the update through a parallel port.
The update has been completed.
Print jobs that are sent to the product while an update is in process do not interrupt the update.
All HP LaserJet products leave the factory with the most recent firmware version installed. If a remote firmware update fails in a Windows OS, the .RFU file must be resent. For more information, see
If a remote firmware update fails in a Macintosh OS, contact support from an HP Customer Care Center.
The following table lists possible reasons for the failure of a remote firmware update and the corrective action required for each situation.
Table 7-8
Troubleshooting a firmware update failure
Reason for firmware update failure
The .RFU file is corrupted.
The wrong product is contained in the .RFU file.
Corrective action
The product recognizes that the file is corrupted and rejects the update. Download the file again and send the new file to the product. Download the file from www.hp.com/go/clj3000_firmware .
The product recognizes the printer mismatch and rejects the update. Download the correct file and send it to the product. Download the file from www.hp.com/go/ clj3000_firmware .

Although it is extremely unlikely, the product might have a hardware failure. Call technical support to address the problem (see the flyer that came with the product for a local telephone support list).
Three messages appear during a normal update process; a fourth (RESEND UPGRADE) appears only if the update process does not succeed.
Table 7-9
Update messages
Printer message
RECEIVING UPGRADE
PERFORMING UPGRADE
INITIALIZING
RESEND UPGRADE
RFU LOAD ERROR
SEND RFU UPGRADE
ON PARALLEL PORT
Explanation
This message appears from the time the product recognizes the beginning of an .RFU update until the time the product has verified the validity and integrity of the .RFU update.
NOTE
If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware is downloaded (while RECEIVING UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display), the firmware file must be sent again. No message appears on the product control panel to indicate that the update was interrupted.
This message appears while the product is actually reprogramming the firmware.
NOTE
If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while
PERFORMING UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and the message RESEND UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display.
This message appears from the time the product has finished reprogramming the
DIMM until the product reinitializes.
This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update fails because the
RFU process is interrupted. It can also occur if firmware for accessories (such as the duplex unit or an output device becomes is corrupted. Perform another update by any means that is supported by the printer, regardless of the connection
(network, parallel, or USB).
This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update fails because the print-engine firmware is corrupted.
If this message appears, the update must now be sent only by a computer that is attached to the parallel port of the product.
NOTE
To verify that the firmware update succeeded, print a new configuration page from the control panel and verify that the firmware date code on the configuration page has changed.
Downloading custom color profiles
Obtain custom color profiles just as you would any other remote-firmware update, using the procedures described in these sections.
Custom color-profile .RFU files are named as follows:
348 Chapter 7 Engineering Details ENWW
ENWW clj####_<what>_<version>.RFU
where:
●
#### is the printer-model number of the color table
●
<what> is a one-word description of what the table does
●
<version> is a two-part version number consisting of a major and a minor value
The custom color-profile .RFU tiles that are available include:
●
A simulation of the color settings for the HP LaserJet 4650 printer:
*clj4650_*.RFU
●
A simulation of the color settings for the HP LaserJet 9500 printer:
*clj9500_*.RFU
●
A remote-firmware-update file that resets your printer to its original state:
*reset_*.RFU
While every care is taken to ensure a close match with the colors available on the product, several factors can affect the outcome of the match:
●
Differences between printers within and between a given model line
●
Media type
● The age and state of the custom-profile printer and the product to which the profile is to be downloaded
●
The use or non-use of genuine HP supplies
● Environmental conditions
