Choose the right printer driver for your needs
Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.
Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printers features. Unless backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended. Use the PCL 5e driver if you want print results to look comparable to those from older printers, or for font DIMM support. Use the PS driver for compatibility with PostScript Level 2. Certain features are not available in this driver. The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.

Printer driver help

Each printer driver has help screens that can be activated either from the Help button, the F1 key, or a question mark symbol in the upper right corner in the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system used). These help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver help is separate from the software application help.

OVERRIDE A4/LETTER=NO

APPEND CR TO LF= OFF

216 Appendix B - Control panel menus

Print Quality Menu

Print Quality Menu Item RESOLUTION= FASTRES 1200 Values FASTRES 1200 PRORES 1200 Explanation
Select the resolution from the values listed below. All values print at the printers full speed (24 ppm). 300: Produces draft print quality and can be used for compatibility with the HP LaserJet III family of printers. 600: Produces high print quality for text and can be used for compatibility with the HP LaserJet 4 family of printers. FASTRES 1200: Produces 1200-dpi print quality for fast, high quality printing of business text and graphics. PRORES 1200: Produces 1200-dpi printing for best quality of graphic images.

It is best to change the resolution from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override control panel settings.)

RET=MEDIUM

OFF LIGHT MEDIUM DARK
Use the printers Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges. REt does not affect print quality when the print resolution is set to ProRes 1200. All other print resolutions, including FastRes 1200, benefit from REt.
It is best to change the REt setting from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override control panel settings.)

Print Quality Menu 217

Print Quality Menu (continued) Item ECONOMODE=OFF Values OFF ON Explanation
Turn EconoMode on (to save toner) or off (for high quality). EconoMode creates draft-quality printing by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page.

Caution

HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. (If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge.)
It is best to turn EconoMode on or off from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override control panel settings.)

TONER DENSITY=3

Lighten or darken the print on the page by changing the toner density setting. The settings range from 1 (light) to 5 (dark), but the default setting of 3 usually produces the best results. Use a lower toner density setting to save toner.
It is best to change the toner density from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override control panel settings.)

AUTO CLEANING PAGE=OFF

ON OFF
Turn the automatic cleaning page feature on or off (for cleaning the fuser). The default frequency is every 2,000 pages. The options are 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 pages. For more information, see Running the cleaning page automatically on page 92. Press SELECT to manually print a cleaning page (for cleaning toner from the fuser). Follow the instructions on the cleaning page. For more information, see Running the cleaning page manually on page 91. This item appears only after a cleaning page has been generated (as described above). Press SELECT to process the cleaning page.

218 Appendix B - Control panel menus

Configuration Menu

Items in this menu affect the printers behavior. Configure the printer according to your printing needs.
Configuration Menu Item POWERSAVE TIME= 30 MINUTES Values 1 MINUTE 15 MINUTES 30 MINUTES 1 HOUR 2 HOURS 4 HOURS Explanation
Set how long the printer remains idle before it enters PowerSave mode. PowerSave mode does the following: minimizes the amount of power consumed by the printer when it is idle reduces wear on the printers electronic components (turns off the displays backlight) When you send a print job, press a control panel key, open a paper tray, or open the top cover, the printer automatically comes out of PowerSave mode. For further information about PowerSave mode, see POWERSAVE in the Resets Menu on page 223.) Determine how the printer behaves when toner is low. The message first appears when about 15% of the toner remains in the cartridge (about 1,500 pages remaining for the 10,000page cartridge and about 900 pages remaining for the 6,000-page cartridge at 5% page coverage). CONTINUE: The printer will continue to print while the message displayed. STOP: The printer will stop and wait for further action. For more information, see Toner low and toner out conditions on page 87. Determine how the printer behaves when toner is out. The message first appears when the toner cartridge is out of toner. CONTINUE: The printer will continue to print with the message displayed. STOP: The printer will stop printing and further action is required. For more information, see Toner low and toner out conditions on page 87.

Resets Menu Item NEW TONER CARTRIDGE=NO Value NO YES Explanation
Change the value to YES only if you are using a non-HP toner cartridge. YES lets the printer know that a new non-HP toner cartridge has been installed and resets the toner gauge to full. This item clears the printer buffer and the active I/O input buffer, and resets the control panel to the current settings. Resetting memory during a print job can result in data loss. This item performs a simple reset and restores most of the factory (default) settings. This item also clears the input buffer for the active I/O. Resetting memory during a print job can result in data loss. Restoring factory settings does not affect network parameter settings on the HP JetDirect print server.
