Additional Drivers

You can obtain the following printer drivers by downloading them from the Internet or by requesting them from an HP-authorized service or support provider. (See the HP Customer Care pages at the front of this user guide.) z OS/2 PCL/PCL 6 printer driver 1 z OS/2 PS printer driver 1 z WordPerfect 5.1 printer driver 2 z AutoCAD (Rev. 14 compatible printer driver, also available on the compact disc)
The OS/2 drivers are available from IBM and are packaged with OS/2. They are not available for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. WordPerfect drivers are not available for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Continued on next page.

Chapter 1 Note

Printer Basics If the desired printer driver is not on the compact disc or is not listed here, check the software applications installation disks or ReadMe files to see if they include support for the printer. If not, contact the software manufacturer or distributor and request a driver for the printer.

Software for Windows

Use the Typical Install option or Custom Install option (if you are a Network Administrator) to install the HP software. (This includes several printer drivers. For more information, see page 60.) Network Administrators: If the printer is attached to a network through an HP JetDirect EIO card, before you can print, the printer must be configured for that network. To configure the printer for your network, you can select Custom Install from the printer installation program or use HP JetAdmin. (See the HP JetAdmin manual or the getting started guide that came with your printer.) Note Network Administrators should use the Custom Install option. Custom Install allows you to establish a connection to the printer and to install administration software such as HP JetAdmin and HP LaserJet Resource Manager. Network Administrators: You can use the Disk Images option to create a set of disks with the exact software you want the end users to use. This allows you to distribute drivers without distributing administration software to end users.

HP DocWise

HP DocWise is enabled during a Custom Install and is not needed to print. HP DocWise provides automatic notification of when your print job is done printing with a graphical reminder of which bin it is in. HP DocWise also notifies you if any errors occur during the printing of your job, such as paper out. If you choose not to use HP DocWise, it can be disabled. See the printers software help.

HP FontSmart

Note HP FontSmart is not supported for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Access HP FontSmart from the HP LaserJet folder or through HP ToolBox. HP FontSmart is a font management utility (for Windows only) that does the following: z installs, uninstalls, and deletes fonts z manages fonts inside a single window by allowing you to drag-and-drop z provides 145 TrueType fonts z provides an on-screen preview of all the fonts and prints samples of them z provides web connectivity to FontSmart, an online resource for free fonts and HP-specific font information Note With Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, you can use HP LaserJet Resource Manager to download fonts to a mass storage device. Types of fonts supported are TrueType, PostScript Type 1, and PostScript Type 42 (TrueType fonts converted to PostScript format). To download Type 1 fonts, Adobe Type Manager must be installed and turned on.
HP JetSend Communications Technology
HP JetSend is a new technology from Hewlett-Packard that allows devices to communicate with each other simply and directly. HP JetSend is built into your printer, allowing it to receive information from any JetSend-enabled sending device anywhere on your network, whether it is in the same office or at a remote location. When you use the HP Fast InfraRed Connect accessory, your printer can also receive information from any JetSend-enabled infrared device. Examples of JetSend sending devices include PCs or laptops running JetSend software or scanners with JetSend built in. JetSend uses simple IP addressing between networked devices and point and shoot between infrared devices. Note HP JetSend is not supported for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Simply use the custom installer on the software compact disc or visit the JetSend web site (www.jetsend.hp.com) to download the JetSend software. You will then be able to exchange intra-company documents directly between PCs and between PCs and any JetSend-enabled printer, without the problems of incompatible software applications or versions. JetSend software will allow your colleagues to create documents on their PCs and send copies directly to this printer without any device-specific drivers or configuration difficulties. Continued on next page.
Printer Basics You can visit the JetSend web site to learn which other devices are available to communicate easily and directly with your JetSend-enabled printer. How the JetSend Communications Technology Works

2 Print custom-size paper from Tray 1. See Loading Tray 1 on page 84. 3 The edge of the paper feeding into the printer must be at least 3.9 inches (98 mm) wide to allow rollers inside the printer to grab the paper. Measuring from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the paper, the length must be at least 7.5 inches (190 mm). Note For more information on paper specifications, see page 330.

Printing Bleeds

Since the printer has the ability to print on specially cut paper up to 11.7 x 17.7 inches (297 x 450 mm), you can print up to 11 x 17 inches (279 x 432 mm) bleed images with crop marks. See your software application or online help.
Printing Cards, Custom-size, and Heavy Paper
Custom-size paper can be printed from Tray 1. For paper specifications, see Paper Specifications starting on page 328. Note The printers control panel can be set for one custom size at a time. Do not load more than one size of custom paper into the printer.
Guidelines for Printing Custom-size Paper
z Do not attempt to print on paper smaller than 3.9 inches (98 mm) wide or 7.5 inches (191 mm) long. z Set page margins at least.17 inch (4 mm) away from the edges.
Setting Custom Paper Sizes
When custom paper is loaded, size settings need to be selected from the software application (the preferred method), the printer driver, or from the printers control panel. The size settings defined for custom-size paper applies to all custom paper trays installed on the printer. Note Only one custom paper size can be saved in the printer. Settings in the printer driver and software application override control panel settings. (Software application settings override printer driver settings.) Continued on next page.
X (front edge) 3.9 in. (98 mm)
7.5 in. (191 mm) Y (side edge)
If the settings are not available from the software, set the custom paper size from the control panel: 1 From the Printing Menu set CONFIGURE CUSTOM PAPER=YES. 2 From the Printing Menu, select inches or millimeters as the unit of measurement. 3 From the Printing Menu, set the X dimension (the front edge of the paper) as shown in the illustration above. X can be from 3.9 to 11.7 inches (from 98 to 297 mm) for Tray 1. Set the Y dimension (the side edge of the paper) as shown in the illustration above. Y can be from 7.5 to 17.7 inches (from 191 to 450 mm) for Tray 1. Continued on next page.
Printing Tasks 4 If custom paper is loaded into Tray 1 and TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE, then set TRAY 1 SIZE=CUSTOM from the Paper Handling Menu in the printers control panel. See Customizing Tray 1 Operation on page 141. 5 In the software, select Custom or the name assigned to the custom-size paper in the driver as the paper size. For example, if the custom paper is 8 x 10 inches (203 x 254 mm), set X=8 inches and Y=10 inches (X=203 millimeters and Y=254 millimeters).

Use the examples below to determine which output quality problem you are experiencing, then see the following tables to troubleshoot the problem. Note The examples below depict letter-size paper that has passed through the printer long-edge first.

DISK IS WRITE PROTECTED Solution Turn the printer off and verify that the hard disk is inserted correctly and is securely fastened. Use the Windows-based HP LaserJet Resource Manager or the Macintosh-based HP LaserJet Utility to initialize the disk.
Turn the printer off and make sure that the EIO disk is inserted correctly and securely fastened. If the control panel message continues to be displayed, the disk drive needs to be replaced. Fonts and forms cannot be stored on the disk when the disk is write protected. Use the Windows-based HP LaserJet Resource Manager or the Macintosh-based HP LaserJet Utility to remove the write protection from the disk.
Attempted to use a If you are using PCL, print the PCL Font Page, and verify that disk-resident font, but the the font is on the disk. If you are using PS, print the PS Font printout substituted a Page and make sure that the font is on the disk. If the font is different font. not on the disk, use the HP LaserJet Resource Manager or the Macintosh-based HP LaserJet Utility to download the font.

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 0.6 inch (15 millimeters) from the edges of the envelope.

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing.
Card Stock and Heavy Paper
Note For best results, use the Standard Output Bin. Many types of card stock, including postcards, can be printed from Tray 1. Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding through a laser printer. For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 53 lb (199 g/m 2 ) in Tray 1 or 28 lb (105 g/m 2 ) in other trays. Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear. Note Printing on heavier paper may be possible if the tray is not filled to capacity, and paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield is used.

Card Stock Construction

z Smoothness: 36-53 lb (135-199 g/m 2 ) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield. 16-36 lb (60-135 g/m 2 ) card stock should have a smoothness rating of 100-250 Sheffield. z Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 0.2 inch (5 mm) of curl. z Condition: Make sure card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. z Sizes: See page 330. Note Before loading card stock in Tray 1, make sure it is regular in shape and not damaged. Also, make sure the cards are not stuck together.

Card Stock Guidelines

Set margins at least 0.08 inch (2 mm) away from the edges of the paper.

Selecting PCL Fonts

Print a PCL Font List to view the command for each internal font (page 282). A sample section is shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set and point size.
These variables must be filled in or the printer will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set that contains line-draw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common symbol set codes are listed in the table on page 418. Note Fonts are either fixed or proportional in spacing. The printer contains both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial, Times New Roman, and others). Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and word processing applications.
