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.
The following table shows the default settings for Print Task Quick Sets. See HP Driver Preconfiguration for information about preconfigurable driver settings.

Pages per Sheet

Use the Pages per Sheet option to select the number of pages that you want to print on a single sheet of media. If you choose to print more than one page per sheet, the pages appear smaller and are arranged on the sheet in the order that they would otherwise be printed. The Pages per Sheet drop-down menu provides six settings: 1 page per sheet (default) 2 pages per sheet 4 pages per sheet 6 pages per sheet 9 pages per sheet 16 pages per sheet
When you select an option other than 1 page per sheet, booklet printing is unavailable.

Print Page Borders

Related controls that are indented beneath the Pages per Sheet edit box are Print Page Borders and Page Order, which become active when Pages per Sheet is greater than 1. Print Page Borders sets a line around each page image on a printed sheet to help visually define the borders of each logical page.

Page Order

The Page Order drop-down menu contains the following selections: Right, then Down Down, then Right Left, then Down Down, then Left
The document preview image changes to reflect alterations in these settings, as shown by the examples in the following figure.
Figure 4-5 Page-order preview images 2 pages per sheet 4 pages per sheet 6 pages per sheet 9 pages per sheet 16 pages per sheet

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 Properties driver tabs: Finishing Effects Paper Basics
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When you move the mouse cursor over the document preview image, the cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image. The dimensions label that appears below the preview image reflects the selected page size. The horizontal dimension is always first, so the order of the numbers reverses when the orientation changes. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.

Print Quality

The HP LaserJet 5200 print-driver Print Quality group box provides options that control output settings and font settings. The following options are available in the Print Quality group box: The Print Quality Details dialog box opens. The Print Quality Details dialog box has different options, depending on the driver that you are using. Changing resolution might change the formatting of the printed document. Best Quality setting Faster Printing setting Economode check box Details button

If the job-storage feature is enabled (with at least 80 MB of total memory), two Job Storage Mode settings are available on the Job Storage tab: Proof and Hold Private Job
The following figure shows the Job Storage tab.
Figure 4-19 Job Storage tab Topics: Print Task Quick Sets Status dialog box Job Storage Mode PIN Job Notification Options User Name Job Name Using job-storage features when printing

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 LaserJet 5200 printer to store documents at the device and then control their printing at the device control panel. The HP LaserJet 5200 printer offers the following Job Storage Mode options: Off Proof and Hold Private Job
These options and the settings that control them are described in the following sections.
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 device.

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 device control panel. You can set the number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be stored in the device at the control panel. After it is released for printing, the proof-and-hold job is immediately deleted from the device. If more copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second proof-andhold job to the device 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 device. NOTE The device configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-andhold jobs. The number is set at the device 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 device memory will overwrite the existing document.
To use the Proof and Hold option, the job-storage feature must be enabled, and the device must have a minimum total memory of 80 MB.

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 device pauses while you make this adjustment.

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 device 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 LaserJet 5200 printer supports the transmit-once mopying feature when the device has a minimum total memory of 80 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 device. 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.

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 control: True Type Font settings

True Type Font

Use Substitute with Device Font (the default setting) to print documents that contain TrueType fonts by using equivalent printer 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.
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, depending on your device. 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.

Economode

Under Printer Settings, Select the Economode and Toner Density menu item to open the Economode screen, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 6-36 Economode screen 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 toner. If the Economode setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply of toner is depleted, increasing the risk of toner leaking. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem. Change the settings in the Toner Density drop-down menu to save on toner use. The following settings are available: Lower settings result in slightly reduced printing quality, but save on toner usage.

Print-ready printing by using a local MS Windows port
The procedure for printing directly by using a local MS Windows port depends on the operating system. Topics:
