The base model, HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp 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 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/clj4730mfp. To use the HP EWS to view information about the product, open a supported Web browser and type the product transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) address or host name. To find the 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. Use this procedure to print a copy of the Embedded Jetdirect page from the control-panel display: 1. 2. 3. Press the Menu button on the product control panel. Touch INFORMATION on the touch screen. Press PRINT CONFIGURATION on the touch screen.

The HP EWS frame

Each screen in the HP EWS has a frame that contains a top banner, three category tabs, a left-aligned navigation menu bar, and a main-content area. Selecting one of the category tabs causes the corresponding left-aligned navigation bar to appear. The left-aligned navigation menu includes links to content that is appropriate for that tab. The main-content area shows information and opens options in response to navigation tab selections and menu bar selections.

Access to print drivers

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 actions that you take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the product 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.

Help system

Figure 3-1 A typical constraint message with an OK button Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK or Cancel button, the interpretation of the button is as follows: Clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting control to a setting that is compatible with the new value. Clicking Cancel rejects the change that was just made, and the control returns to its previous value.

Bubble Help

Bubble Help features a graphical icon that resembles a cartoon speech bubble with a lowercase "i" in it, representing the international symbol for information. The following figure shows a Bubble Help icon on a driver tab.

Size is: is set to any size except for Statement, Envelope #10, Envelope DL, Envelope C5, Envelope B5, Envelope Monarch, Double Postcard (JIS), or Double Japan Postcard Rotated.
When Paper Size is set to Letter, Legal, or A4, selecting Print on Both Sides makes the Flip Pages Up and Booklet Printing options available. 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. All models of the HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp product come with a duplexing unit installed. The HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp product 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, and the following media types: Prepunched Preprinted Letterhead

Available printer memory

The Available printer memory control specifies the amount of memory in your product. If the value in this control does not match the amount of memory in your product model, use the spin box to specify the correct amount of memory.

Printer features

The Printer features group box displays settings specific to your product. You can change the settings by selecting the setting you want to change and then specifying a new value in the Change setting for list. The product feature settings available on this tab include the following: HPPJLEncoding Job Storage

User Name PIN digit 1 (for Private Job) Print Color as Gray Collate Fit to Page Stapling Options Color Options Color Themes for RGB Color Color Themes for CMYK Color Edge Control Text Neutral Grays Text Halftone Graphic Neutral Grays Graphic Halftone Photographs Neutral Grays Photographs Halftone Watermark (Pages per Sheet) Print Watermark Watermark Watermark Font Watermark Size Watermark Angle Watermark Style Watermark Color Watermark Intensity
HPPJLEncoding The HPPJLEncoding feature contains the control for the UTF8 feature. Job Storage The default value for this setting is Off, which means that the print job will not be stored in the product. NOTE To use the Job Storage feature, you must enable Job Storage in the Installable Options section of this tab.
If Job Storage is enabled, four Job Storage Mode settings are available in the Installable Options section of this tab: Proof and Hold Private Job 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 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 control panel.

The PostScript output format list allows you to specify the format for PostScript files. The following options are available: PostScript (optimize for speed). Use this setting for printing most documents. Optimize for Portability. Use this setting to create a file that conforms to the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions (ADSC). Each page of the document will be a self-contained object. This is useful, for instance, if you want to create a PostScript file and print it on a different product. Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). Use this setting to include the file as an image in another document that is to be printed from a different program. Archive Format. Use this setting to create a PostScript file that you can use later. PJL archive format. This setting notifies the product that the document is being printed in a different printer language.

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 product, you can save printing time by sending the header information to your 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 your document has been printed. The PostScript printer 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 your product. 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.

Advanced

Click the Advanced. button to open the Advanced PostScript Options dialog box, which appears in the following figure.
Figure 3-42 Advanced PostScript Options dialog box The following options are available on the Advanced PostScript Options dialog box. PostScript Language Level Bitmap compression Data format Send CTRL+D before job Send CTRL+D after job
PostScript Language Level The PostScript Language Level specifies which PostScript language level to use, from 1 to the highest level that your 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 4730mfp. 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. 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 your 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 (via 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.

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.

Figure 4-3 Paper/Quality tab
The Paper/Quality tab contains the following controls: Print Task Quick Sets Paper Options Document preview image HP Digital Imaginggroup box
The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the Paper/Quality tab affects most of the Printing Preferences driver tabs (the Paper/Quality, Effects, Finishing, and Job Storage tabs) because they are all the same control. 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 (except the Advanced tab, where the setting is not available). 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). The Print Task Quick Sets control does not appear on the driver Properties tabs. 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. User-defined Print Task Quick Sets are described later in this section. The following selections are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu: Default Print Settings User Guide Print Settings

Default Print Settings

When you select Default Print Settings, nearly all of the settings are restored to the combination that existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the attribute combinations that are associated with watermark definitions, custom media sizes, or the other quick sets have been changed or deleted, the original settings for those items are not restored. Type a new Quick Set name here appears in the Print Task Quick Sets menu automatically if no other driver settings have been changed since the driver was installed, or if all of the driver settings match the original settings. Otherwise, the setting in the Print Task Quick Sets menu is the same label that appeared when you last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking OK. The following table shows the default settings for Print Task Quick Sets. See the HP Driver Preconfiguration section for information about preconfigurable driver settings.

Printer Memory

If you have more than one driver installed on your 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 your product model.
Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)
All models of the HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp come with a duplex unit installed. This setting is enabled (Installed) by default. NOTE The HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp also 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 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. This setting is enabled by default.

Accessory Output Bin

This control specifies whether you have any accessory output bins installed on your product. The default setting is Uninstalled. The following options are available: HP 500-Sheet Stapler/Stacker HP 3-Bin Mailbox Mailbox Mode HP 3-Bin Mailbox Stacker Mode HP 3-Bin Mailbox Function Separator Mode
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 on the printer hard disk. The remainder of the copies are printed at the fastest speed. All documents that are printed in mopier mode can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the computer, which eliminates the extra step of using a photocopier. The HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp 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 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.

Lasting value

This is what the HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp delivers over time. Your investment is secure because you combine a low purchase price with significant cost savings, achieved by increasing efficiency and productivity. Do more with a rich set of features on one device. The right paper-handling capabilities for general office enable local document production, eliminating the costs associated with centralised printing. It supports two output accessories: a stapler/stacker that can staple up to 30 pages at once and stack up to 500 pages of output, and a three-bin mailbox that can handle separate functions such as print, copy, and fax, be assigned as user mailboxes, and stack up to 700 pages of output. Standard features include a 40 GB hard disk, automatic duplexing which saves time, effort and paper; a 1600-sheet input capacity which means fewer interruptions; plus the convenience of scan-to-email, scan-to-folder and colour scanning. Reliability saves money. Hewlett-Packard has consistently received awards for outstanding service and reliability. This level of reliability is a major factor behind enhanced user productivity and low total cost of ownership. Low cost per colour page. Colour printing becomes affordable with this MFP which offers a lower colour cost per page than colour capable devices, and still has the same mono cost per page as the mono HP LaserJet 4345mfp.

Colour Access Controls

Now you can enjoy all the advantages of colour without incurring unnecessary expense. Colour Access Controls help you protect your investment, while still reaping the benefits of printing in colour when you need to. Colour copy lockout allows IT to protect the device as a mono-only copier, so you can control when and how colour is used in your workgroup. Or you can simply use the HP Driver Preconfiguration Tool to download a mono-only print driver for end users who will only be permitted to print in black. Web Jetadmin can also be used to track colour usage and supply customised reports detailing usage by application, user or specific jobs. This enables you to save money and still create eye-catching colour documents when you need them.

The HP Smart supplies advantage
HP Smart Printing Technology1 in both HP printing supplies and the HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp work together with new HP ColorSphere Toner to make automatic adjustments that optimise print quality for reliable, consistent results every time you print. Remote troubleshooting, print job tracking and proactive alerts on low print cartridges make HP supplies easy to manage and replace. Convenient, online ordering through HP SureSupply2 simplifies inventory management.
Peace of mind with extra security options
HP Secure Erase provides a choice of three different modes of disk erase security, each of which can be configured by an administrator and may be protected from unauthorised changes with a password. Embedded LDAP authentication with SSL encryption is designed for workgroups and departments with distributed environments. This provides an easy to use, easy to manage solution for customers requiring network security to verify user identity. There is also a Secure Fax feature which offers two settings, Fax Forwarding and Schedule Printing of Faxes which both require a PIN to access them.
