NOTE:
For more information about the UPD, see www.hp.com/go/upd .
HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
Each HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need to enable them manually.
For more information, go to www.hp.com/go/upd .
When you download and install a UPD from the product support Web page ( www.hp.com/support/ ljp3010 ), there will be some variations in the installation process and results depending on the driver that you select.
From the support page, click on the Download Drivers and Software link. After you select the printer model and operating system, there will be several selections on the download page. You can download drivers from the “Driver” section and from the “Driver - Universal Print Driver” section.
Drivers downloaded from the “Driver” section are wrapped with the HP DIU (Driver Installation Utility) and produce a “named” driver when installed. A named driver has the printer model number in the driver print queue name. These drivers always install in Traditional mode. The HP PCL 6 Print Driver is a product specific driver, and the PCL5 and postscript driver are UPDs but install as described.
ENWW Printing-system software 11
Drivers downloaded from the “Driver-Universal Print Driver” section includes the UPD installer. For these drivers, the driver print queue shows a non-product-specific name. When installing these drivers, you have a choice between Traditional or Dynamic mode as described below.
UPD installation modes
Table 1-1 UPD installation modes
Traditional mode ● Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.
●
When installed with this mode, UPD operates like traditional printer drivers.
Dynamic mode
● If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each printer.
●
Use this mode if you are installing the driver for a mobile computer, so you can discover and print to HP products in any location.
● Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup.
●
To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See www.hp.com/go/ upd .
Supported utilities for Windows
The following utilities for Windows are available for the HP LaserJet P3010 Series printer.

Windows printer-driver configuration
The HP PCL 6 printer driver features bidirectional communication technology which, in environments that support the printer driver, provides automatic discovery and printer-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, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

●
Printer-driver autoconfiguration
NOTE:
The 64-bit operating systems do not support printer-driver autoconfiguration.
Automatic discovery and printer-driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the following circumstances:
●
When a printer driver is installed by using Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC)
● When the Update Now feature is used for a printer driver that is already installed
However, as shown in the following table, printer-driver auto configuration and EAC are not available in
32-bit Windows operating systems over a direct connection when the printing-system software is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard. Direct connection is a parallel or USB port connection.

Bidirectional communication
In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the printer driver accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the computer, such as inquiries regarding the type of print media that is available and the accessories that are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the connection does not have this capability, the product can accept commands but cannot respond to data inquiries from the host computer.
42 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
Enterprise AutoConfiguration
Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the printer driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the
Admin CD or the Add Printer Wizard to install the printer driver. Printer-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 printer driver.
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 printer driver with the product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the printer driver or whenever the
Update Now feature is used.
If the product configuration changes after installation, the printer driver can be automatically updated by using the Update Now feature in environments that support bidirectional communication.
Update Now
If the product configuration changes after installation, the printer driver can be automatically updated by using the Update Now feature in environments that support bidirectional communication. For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use Update Now to query the product and update the printer-driver settings to match the new product configuration.
The Update Now feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the Device Settings tab of the HP PCL 6 printer driver.
To activate Update Now, follow these steps:
1.
Click Start, and then do one of the following:
Windows 2000: Select Settings, and then click Printers.
-or-
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional: Select Settings, and then select Printers
and Faxes.

HP Web Jetadmin
HP Web Jetadmin is a software architecture and set of tools for customizing and distributing HP printingsystem software in managed corporate printing environments. Using HP Web Jetadmin, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise environments can preconfigure the printing and product defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the printer drivers in the network environment.
HP Web Jetadmin is most beneficial when configuring printer drivers for multiple workstations or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be configured:
●
Product settings

Printing-preferences settings
HP Web Jetadmin configures the printer 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, or job-storage settings).
The preconfiguration process consists of three steps:
●
Printer-driver acquisition
●
Printer-driver preconfiguration
●
Printer-driver installation and deployment
These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.
Printer-driver preconfiguration is supported through four tools. All four 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 allow the user to deploy and install the printer driver. The following tools support printer-driver preconfiguration:
●
HP Driver Configuration Editor. The HP Driver Configuration Editor is a small standalone
Windows-based software program that administrators can use to open the .CFG file that is associated with a particular printer driver and make modifications that are applied when that printer driver is installed on the host computer. Use it in environments that have an established process for deploying printer drivers. It is used in the same way as any ordinary Windows-based software program.
The HP Driver Configuration Editor is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/support/hpdpc
●
HP Web Jetadmin V10.0. HP Web Jetadmin can create and edit printer queues in supported
Windows operating systems. HP Web Jetadmin customizes printer drivers for the queues. Refer to the HP Web Jetadmin User Guide for information on preconfiguring drivers by using HP Web
Jetadmin.
HP Web Jetadmin is available at the following Web site: http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin
44 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
●
Customization Utility. The Customization Utility enables an IT administrator to preconfigure the printer drivers when customizing the installation for a silent install.
For detailed information about customizing printer drivers with the Customization Utility, see the
HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available on the Admin CD.
●
HP Driver Deployment Utility. The HP Driver Deployment Utility (DDU) was created to simplify the deployment of printer drivers onto a client PC. It is a simple utility that packages the driver files, and the code needed to deploy them, into 2 files: an .EXE and a .CAB. These files are run on the client PC to copy the driver files to the Windows driver store, and for network packages, to install the printer. The DDU also allows for preconfiguration of the driver.
For detailed information about using the HP Driver Deployment Utility, see the HP Driver
Preconfiguration Support Guide, available on the Admin CD.
●
●

Generally, the feature is unavailable in the printer-driver UI after it has been locked.
Continuous export
The term continuous export refers to the ability of the printer driver to copy the latest printer-driver settings to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be transferred when a compatible version of the printer driver is used to upgrade the printer driver. For instance, if the orientation is set to Landscape in a printer driver that was originally installed in Windows
46 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
2000 Service Pack 3, then the orientation setting automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to Windows XP or Windows Vista. The continuous export feature functions transparently from the user's perspective and works only between printer drivers of identical models.
NOTE:
Not all of the printer-driver components can be exported; however, the exportable components are always the same as the components that can be preconfigured.

Point and Print installation for Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, XP, Server
2003, Server 2008, and Vista
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:
1.
Install a shared driver on a network print server.
2.
"Point" to the print server from a network client so that the client can use the print driver.
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 Service Pack 3,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista drivers from HP are supported only on Intel x86 processor types.
In a homogenous operating system environment (clients and servers running 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.
However, in a mixed operating system environment (servers and clients running 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.
ENWW Microsoft Windows general installation overview 87
In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that in Windows 2000 Service
Pack 3 and all future operating systems, print drivers would run as user-mode processes. User-mode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal end-user processes and software programs. A user-mode 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.

4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet P3010 Series PCL 6 Print Driver for
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and
64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit).
You can control print jobs from several places:
●
The product control panel
● The software program print dialog box
●
The driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print-driver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.
When you install the printing-system software in Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Microsoft
Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, the HP PCL 6 Print Driver is the recommended driver and the first selection in the CD Browser. A productspecific PS print driver, based on the HP PS Universal Print Driver is also available from the CD. The
HP PS Universal Print Driver and the HP PCL 5 Universal Print Driver can be installed by download from hp.com (link in browser button). An installer is included with the driver.

About
114 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
Help system
The HP PCL 6 print driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
“What's this?” Help
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and
Windows Vista support What's this? Help. You can gain access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
●
Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears.
●
Click the ? question mark button in 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 control appears.
●
Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key. The Help window for the currently selected control appears.
Incompatible Print Settings messages
Incompatible Print Settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the product capabilities or the current settings of other controls.
NOTE:
Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept some settings that are illogical or impossible for the product to perform. Sending a job with incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check the product documentation for the product capabilities.
In supported Windows operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations result in warning messages. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency paper type is selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print Settings message.
Figure 4-1
An Incompatible Print Settings message
ENWW
To resolve the conflicting settings, click Restore my previous settings. and then click OK. The driver resets the conflicting control back to its previous state.
If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click Keep this setting, and I will change it later. and then click OK.
NOTE:
In this example, the conflict can be resolved manually. If the conflict is not resolved when the driver is closed, then the same message appears again when a print job is sent to the product.

Advanced tab features
NOTE:
The Advanced tab is in the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to gain access to these tabs, see
Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 113 .
Use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special controls that are not commonly used, as well as to control features such as paper size and copies in the driver
(although most current software programs support these features in the Print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the Advanced tab.
Figure 4-2
The default appearance of the Advanced tab
The Advanced tab contains the following controls:
●
●
●
Paper/Output
The Paper/Output control contains the Copy Count setting.
116 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
Copy Count
Copy Count: Specifies the number of copies to print. This driver setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available in the software program, set the copy count in the software program.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count option. You can select the number by typing in the text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the text box
(such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the text box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, whenever possible.
Graphic
The Graphic control contains theTrueType Font settings.
TrueType 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 control contains the following settings:
●
●
●
●
Advanced Printing Features
When the Advanced Printing Features: setting is Enabled, metafile spooling is turned on and
Finishing tab options such as Page order:, Booklet layout:, and Pages per sheet: are available, depending on your product.
Enhanced metafile spooling is used to greatly reduce the amount of time that elapses between a request to print (initiated by an application) and the return of control to the application by the operating system.
For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features: setting at the default (Enabled). If compatibility problems occur, you can disable the feature. However, some advanced printing features might still appear in the print driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced
ENWW Advanced tab features 117
printing feature in the print driver that has been disabled on the Advanced tab, the feature is automatically re-enabled.
Print Optimizations
The default setting for Print Optimizations: is Enabled. When this feature is enabled and your document contains overlapping text and graphics, the text that is placed on top of a graphic might not print correctly. If the printed output is not correct, you can disable this feature. When this feature is disabled, print optimization features, such as substituting device fonts for TrueType fonts and scanning for horizontal and vertical rules, are turned off.
Printer Features
The Printer Features control contains the following settings:
●
Edge-To-Edge
Select this control to enable printing within 2 mm (0.078 inch) of the edge of the page. This feature is set to Off by default.
●
Print All Text as Black
The feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.
●
Send TrueType as Bitmap
Send TrueType as Bitmap: Provides an alternative for software programs that have trouble using
TrueType fonts for special graphic aspects such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is
Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to Bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.
●
Raster Compression
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).
●
Alternative Letterhead Mode
When selected, this option eliminates the need to flip or reload letterhead or preprinted paper in a tray, whether you are printing on one or both sides of the sheet. Load the paper as you would for printing on both sides. If the product tray has an icon that indicates whether to load paper either face-up or face-down, load the paper in the opposite orientation of that shown. The default setting is Off.
118 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
When this option is selected, you must use one of the following options in the Paper type setting:
◦ Letterhead
◦
Preprinted
Layout Options
Layout Options contains the Page Order: setting.
Page Order: Specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back (default setting) prints the document so that page 1 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page
1 prints last.
NOTE:
The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of paper rather than on individual logical pages. Accordingly, if you set Pages per sheet: (on the Finishing tab) to be greater than 1, the ordering of logical pages on a physical sheet of paper does not change.

Paper sizes
The Paper sizes: drop-down menu lists all of the supported paper sizes.
When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.
Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set the paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different paper sizes.
NOTE:
Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.
ENWW Paper/Quality tab features 127
For information about paper sizes, see Engineering Details on page 205 .
NOTE:
Several Paper Sizes are listed in the paper size drop-down menus that are physically too large for the printer, such as 11x17, A3, B4, 8k. These sizes are included for scaling purposes– the printer scales down the printed output from a larger original size used by a software program.
When the settings under the Special pages: section have been changed, the Paper sizes:, Paper
source:, and Paper type: menus change also, offering a variety of options. For more information, see
.
Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab. The following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Figure 4-8
Custom Paper Size dialog box
Name
Use the Name text box to type a name for a new custom paper size or to rename an existing paper size.
The text that appears in the Name text box is one of the following::
●
The name of the any custom paper size that is selected on the Paper/Quality tab.
●
"Custom" if a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab.
● Any text that has been typed into the Name text box. This text remains 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 Length: 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 Length: values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes.
128 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
Any entry that is too large is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is too small is rounded up to the minimum valid entry.
If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and length entries are validated when the focus changes.
The resolution of each control is 1/100 of a millimeter or 1/100 of an inch, depending on the current measurement units.
Units
To change measurement units, click one of the options in the Units group box (either Inches or

No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types through the driver. Custom types can be added only through 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 on an updated list of paper types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are available through the driver.
The default setting is Unspecified, and the program selects the paper type. If you select a different setting, make sure that the correct paper type is loaded in the tray that you selected in the Paper
source: setting. For more information about paper types, see Engineering Details on page 205 .
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper type that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper type or select another tray.

Actual size
Actual size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size.
Print document on
Click the Print document on: option to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
Print document on: control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●
The % of actual size: value is selected.
●
The Pages per sheet: value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print document on: is selected, the drop-down menu shows the paper sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports and any custom sizes that you have created. When Print document on: is selected, Scale to fit is automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected paper.
Scale to fit
The Scale to fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size. By default, Scale to fit is selected when Print document on: is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following figure shows the effect that Scale to fit has on a document formatted for Legal-size paper but printed on Letter.
Figure 4-12
Preview images – Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target paper size.
% of actual size
The % of actual size: option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting is 100%. Actual size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or the size that the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the product.
136 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
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 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%.
To achieve an exact scaling value, either use the slider bar to approximate the value that you want and then use the arrows to refine the value, or type the value into the edit box.
The following settings disable % of actual size:

●
SAMPLE
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus (none) which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark that is selected from this list appears in the preview image.
When the First page only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First page only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is
(none).
ENWW Effects tab features 137
Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per sheet: is set to 4 and First
page only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page).
Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.
Figure 4-13
Watermark Details dialog box
The dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating a new watermark and controlling the message angle and font attributes.
Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box. However, clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes. If you make changes to a watermark and then select a different watermark or click New, all of the changes are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled.
Current Watermarks
The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks that are available in the driver and any new watermarks that you have created.
To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as "Untitled" until you type a new name in the Watermark
Message edit box. The new name then appears in the Current Watermarks group box, in the
Watermark Details dialog box, and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab.

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.
138 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
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 can have 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 2 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.
●
Angle. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page. Use the numeric spin box to select the angle.
Font Attributes
Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style of the font.
The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls:
●
Name
The Name: drop-down menu lists fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is language dependent.

NOTE:
This feature is called Print on Both Sides (manually) for the HP LaserJet P3015, the
HP LaserJet P3015d, and the HP LaserJet P3015n, because these models do not include an automatic duplex unit. For all other product models, this feature is called Print on Both Sides.
The default setting for Print on both sides is off (not selected). Print on both sides is available when the following conditions exist:
● Paper type: on the Paper/Quality tab is set to any paper type except for the following types:
◦

142 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
Print on both sides (automatically)
The duplexing unit in the HP LaserJet P3010 Series product prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on Both Sides option is specified in the print job. The HP LaserJet P3010 Series product comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following models:
●
HP LaserJet P3015dn
●
HP LaserJet P3015x
These product models support smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases printing performance by preventing one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job from going through the duplexing unit even when the duplexing feature has been selected in the driver.
All paper types support the smart duplexing feature, except for paper types that cannot be printed on both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following paper types:
●
Prepunched
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
●
Cardstock
When the paper type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a paper type, you are, in effect, instructing the product to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the paper with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. For the best print quality, a different print mode is used with each paper type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.
Print on both sides manually
Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the paper for the
HP LaserJet P3015, the HP LaserJet P3015d, and the HP LaserJet P3015n, because these models do not include an automatic duplex unit. Also, select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other
HP LaserJet P3010 Series product models for paper types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick paper.
Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6 driver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the product automatically prints on both sides of paper types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, and
8.5 x 11 only). For paper types that are not supported for automatic duplexing, a Help message appears prompting you to configure the driver settings for manual printing on both sides. Manual printing on both sides does not occur automatically.
Select the paper type that corresponds to the paper that you are using for the print job. The following paper types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side:
●
Plain
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
●
Prepunched

NOTE:
To make the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box available in the document options, select the Allow Manual Duplexing option on the Device Settings tab in the print-driver Properties tab set. See
Installable Options on page 161 .
If you want to print on both sides manually while using paper that is supported for automatic duplexing, you must select and apply the Not Installed setting on the Allow manual duplexing option on the
Device Settings tab.
Cardstock paper can be manually printed on the second side, but no change occurs to the print mode.
Transparencies and labels should never be manually printed on the second side.
To print a multiple-page document, follow these steps:
1.
Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box.
2.
Click OK. The even-number pages of the document print.
3.
When the control panel shows the MANUALLY FEED message, insert the stack of paper (on which the even-number pages have been printed) as indicated in the following figure.
Figure 4-15
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 paper. The driver does not require the program to specifically support odd- and even-page printing, because the driver coordinates this function.

Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page and does not affect the way that paper feeds into the product. The orientations that you can specify are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait.
NOTE:
Because nearly all software programs establish orientation the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set it.
The Orientation group box contains the following options:
● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the paper.
●
Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the paper.
● Rotate by 180 degrees. This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is rotated 180°. This setting is useful for printing prepunched paper.
You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image. If you select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box, no change occurs in the document preview image.

Job Storage tab features
NOTE:
The Job Storage tab is located on the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to access these tabs, see
Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 113 .
Use the job-storage feature to store print jobs in the HP LaserJet P3010 Series product memory or hard disk for printing at a later time.
The Job Storage tab appears among the driver tabs only if the job-storage feature is enabled on the
Device Settings tab. To support job-storage features for complex jobs, or if you often print complex graphics, print postscript (.PS) documents, or use many downloaded fonts, HP recommends that you install additional memory, install a hard disk, or both. Added memory also gives you more flexibility in supporting job-storage features. A minimum total memory of 288 MB is required to use the Proof and
Hold and Personal Job job-storage features. A hard disk is required to use the Quick Copy and Stored
Job job-storage features.
Job storage features are available in the PCL 6 driver only. Job storage is not available for the PCL 6,
PCL 5, or PS Universal Print Drivers.
After a hard disk is installed, the driver must be configured to reflect the changes in the product. If bidirectional communication is enabled in your environment, the Update Now feature can be used to update the drivers. For more information, see
Automatic Configuration on page 161 .
To configure the drivers manually after installing a hard disk, follow these steps:
1.
In Windows Vista, click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers.
In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.

Job Storage Mode
Use the Job Storage Mode options on the HP LaserJet P3010 Series product to store documents at the product and then control their printing at the product control panel.
The HP LaserJet P3010 Series product offers the following Job Storage Mode options:
●
Off
●
Proof and Hold – Prints only the first copy of a print job and holds additional copies until they are requested from the control panel.
●
Personal Job – Stores a print job on the printer. Printing this stored job requires the print job’s personal identification number (PIN). The print job is deleted from memory after it prints.
●
Quick Copy – Allows additional copies of a print job to be printed from the printer control panel without resending the job from the computer.
●
Stored Job – Stores a print job on the printer to make it available for printing. The print job is stored on the printer's hard drive (or in memory if available) until it is deleted via the printer control panel.
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
ENWW Job Storage tab features 151
you have not released the original job for printing), the job overwrites 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-and-hold jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu, and the default is
32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the oldest held document. Also, a document that has the same user name and job name as one that is already stored on the printer hard disk will overwrite the existing document.
Personal Job
To use the Personal Job option, the job-storage feature must be enabled.
When you select Personal Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request the job at the product control panel. Selecting Personal Job activates the PIN group box. If PIN to
print is selected, 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 Personal 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 overwrites 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-and-hold jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu, and the default is
32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the oldest held document. Also, a document that has the same user name and job name as one that is already stored on the printer hard disk will overwrite the existing document. Quick Copy jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.
Stored Job
To use the Stored Job option, a hard disk must be installed on the product and the job-storage feature must be enabled.
Use the Stored Job option to send a print job directly to the printer hard disk without printing it. The print job is stored in the product as if it is an electronic file cabinet. After the print job is stored on the printer hard disk, you can print the job at the product control panel.
152 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
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.
Select the 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 PIN to Print option becomes available when you select
Stored Job. If you select the 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 personal job. Personal jobs are deleted from the product after they are printed. Private stored jobs are retained in the product after printing, but require that a PIN be typed each time they are printed. A printer hard disk is required for Private stored jobs.
PIN to print
PIN to print check box 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 personal job.
The PIN to Print check box is available when Personal Job is selected. Select the PIN to Print option, and then type a 4-digit PIN number in the box provided. The personal 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 printer 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:
● User Name. This option associates your Windows user name with the stored print job. The
Windows user name automatically appears in the text field below the User Name options.
●
Custom. Use this option to type a custom name for the stored print job. When you click Custom, the text field below the option becomes available. The User Name field can contain no more than
16 characters, and is limited to A through Z and 0 through 9 because the name appears on the product control-panel display. If you try to type a lowercase character, it automatically shifts to uppercase. If you try to type a character in an ASCII code of fewer than 32 or more than 126 characters, the character is removed from the edit field, along with all of the characters that follow it. If you try to type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is truncated.
ENWW Job Storage tab features 153
Job Name
Use the Job Name options to specify a name to identify the job at the product control panel. The following are the Job Name settings:
●
<Automatic> This option, which is the default selection, automatically generates the job name that is associated with the stored print job. The file name of the print job is used if it is available to the print driver. Otherwise, the software program name or a time stamp is used for the job name.
●
Custom. Use this to type a custom job name for the stored print job. When you click Custom, the text field below the option becomes available. In those languages for which <Automatic> cannot be translated without the use of invalid characters, the driver uses a string of three dashes. The acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string must be of a length and type that can appear on the product control-panel display.
The Job Name field can contain no more than 16 characters, and is limited to A through Z (uppercase or lowercase) and 0 through 9 so that the name can appear on the product control-panel display. If you try to type a character in an ASCII code of fewer than 32 or more than 126 characters, the character is removed from the edit field, along with all of the characters that follow it. If you try to type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is truncated.
When the dialog box is closed, or as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the
Tab key is pressed or another control is selected), an empty string is replaced with <Automatic>. The acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string must be of a length and type that can appear on the product control-panel display.
If Job Name Exists. When you store a print job, you can create a print-job name or the product software can assign one automatically. If a print job with the same name already exists, the new print job will overwrite the existing print job. To eliminate the chances of a new print job overwriting an old print job because both have the same name, select Use Job Name + (1-99). After you create the print job name, or when one is created automatically, the product software assigns a number between 1 and 99 to the end of the print job name to make the name unique. Select Replace Existing File if you always want the product software to overwrite an existing print job with the same print job name.

Form to Tray Assignment
A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the paper size in each input tray.
The product supports more than one source of paper. You can assign a form (which defines the paper size and margins) to each paper source. When a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print. The product prints from the tray to which that form is assigned.
Network administrators can use the Form to Tray Assignment setting to specify, in the driver, the paper size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are available in the Paper-Size list on the Paper/Quality tab in the Printing Preferences driver tabs. This constraint reduces the likelihood of tying up the product with paper-mount messages that occur when users request sizes or types that are not available.
158 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 Print Driver for Windows ENWW
The trays listed in Form to Tray Assignment include standard trays and optional accessory trays.

For more information, see
Mopier Mode
The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces multiple, collated copies from a single print job. Multiple-original printing (mopying) increases performance and reduces network traffic by transmitting the job to the product once and then storing it in memory or on the hard disk. The remainder of the copies are printed at the fastest speed. All documents that are printed in mopier mode can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the computer, which eliminates the extra step of using a photocopier.
The product supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device
Settings tab is Enabled.
When you use the HP PCL 6 Print Driver, mopying is performed in one of two ways: either through the software or through the product hardware. When Mopier Mode: is enabled, mopying takes place through the product hardware. One copy of a multiple-page print job is transmitted once through the network to the product, together with a printer job language (PJL) command directing the product to make the specified number of copies.
When you disable mopying, you are not necessarily disabling multiple collated copies, which the driver can still perform through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is disabled when you change the Mopier Mode: setting to Disabled). However, a multiple-copy print job that is sent when the mopier is disabled loses the advantage of transmitting the print job once, because the job is sent through the network for each collated copy.
Mopier mode and collation
Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. Mopying, the ability to send original print jobs to the product, is performed by the print driver. Collating can be controlled by either the print driver or the document software program. The mopying mode is selected by default in the driver and can be disabled by changing the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device Settings tab to
Disabled.
Control collation through the print driver by selecting or clearing the Collated check box on the
Advanced tab. Click Copy Count under the Paper Output setting. You can clear the check box, which is available only when the Copy Count option is set to more than 1 copy, to allow the software program to control collation.
To receive uncollated multiple copies of a print job, you must clear the Collated check box and make sure that the software program collation feature is not selected.
The following table shows the relation between Mopier Mode: settings and collation settings in the software program and the driver. The first three columns show the settings; the last column, Expected
result, shows how a three-page print job would appear.

A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of printer features available for their postscript printers. On the Macintosh, PPD files provide all the information necessary to describe a postscript printer’s features, including options and default settings. They also contain the postscript code used to invoke those features.

ENWW Introduction 205
Remote firmware update
The HP LaserJet P3010 Series product 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.
Print a configuration page
1.
Press the menu button to open the menus.
2.
Press the up arrow or the down arrow to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press OK .
3.
Press the up arrow or the down arrow to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION.
4.
Press OK to print the configuration page.
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/ljp3010_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.
For Macintosh systems, the remote firmware update file is an .SIT, .DMG, or .ZIP file.
Downloading the new firmware to the product
For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to: www.hp.com/go/ljp3010_firmware
The product can receive a firmware update 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.
206 Chapter 6 Engineering Details 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 product firmware.
Printer messages during the firmware update
The following table lists the causes and results of possible interruptions to the firmware update.
Table 6-1 Troubleshooting a firmware update
Cause Result
The job was cancelled from the control panel.
A break in the I/O stream occurred during send (for example, the parallel cable was removed).
No update has occurred.
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 or USB connection.
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
6-3 Update messages on page 208
.
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 6-2 Troubleshooting a firmware update failure
Reason for firmware update failure Corrective action
The .RFU file is corrupted.
The wrong product is contained in the .RFU file.
The upgrade was interrupted.
A flash hardware failure occurred.
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/cljP3010_firmware .
The product recognizes the product mismatch and rejects the update. Download the correct file and send it to the product. Download the file from www.hp.com/go/ cljP3010_firmware .
See
Table 6-3 Update messages on page 208 .
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).
