Other HP LaserJet documents
Guides for accessories and Jetdirect networking are also available as Adobe Acrobat PDF files. You can view these documents from the HP LaserJet software CD browser by clicking View Documentation and then clicking the name of the guide you want to view. To install the file, select the printer documentation check box during a Custom Installation. The following guides are available: HP Jetdirect Administrator's Guide (click HP Jetdirect Guide) HP Fast InfraRed Receiver for HP LaserJet Printers (click hp FIR Guide)
Bidirectional communication
Bidirectional communication is the products ability to respond to data inquiries from the computer and report back information, such as what type of print media is available or what accessories are connected to the printer. If a product does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information back. Driver Autoconfiguration and Printer Status and Alerts use bidirectional communications software. The Typical Installation installs Driver Autoconfiguration in supported environments that contain the bidirectional communication software. Use Custom Installation when you do not want these features. Bidirectional communication depends upon the type of connection between your computer to your printer and your network operating system. The following table provides information about the operating systems and network environments that support bidirectional communication.

Some applications substitute CMYK values to the printer if they cannot provide PANTONE (R)* names. If your application does not pass the PANTONE (R)* names to the printer, the application will substitute default CMYK values to be printed for each color. In this case, the accuracy of color matching will depend on the ink emulation selected FAST, SWOP, Euro standard, or DIC (Dainippon). If your application does not pass the PANTONE (R)* names to the printer, the custom CMYK values created by PANTONE (R)* for this printer are available in the manual PANTONE (R)* palettes. PANTONE (R)* Application Palettes might be available on the Web at the following URL: http://www.hp.com/support/lj5500
Vector graphics such as company logos created in PANTONE (R)* Application Palettes can be imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other MS Office applications. To do this, the color application must create an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file of the image for insertion as a file into the Office document (using the insert file function).
Cutting and pasting from the clipboard does not work. These tasks do not preserve the PANTONE (R)* name or the CMYK palette value.
Printing-system components
Printing system and installer
CD browser for Windows systems
In previous versions of the printing-system software, the installer was started by locating and running the SETUP.EXE file. For the Microsoft Windows environment (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP), the HP LaserJet software CD-ROM provides an interactive CD browser that you can use not only to install the printer drivers and related components, but also to gain access to online product registration, user documentation, a customization utility, Adobe Acrobat Reader software, and optional HP software.
Printing-system components 37
The following illustration shows the main screen of the printing system software CD browser, which appears when you insert the printing software CD-ROM in your CDROM drive. If the screen does not appear when you insert the CD-ROM, click Start, click Run, click Browse., navigate to the root directory of the CD-ROM, and then double-click the SETUP.EXE file to start the browser.

Finishing tab features

The Finishing tab is the default tab that appears when you click Document Defaults. (or Printing Preferences., depending on your operating system) for the driver or for a software application.

Figure 12.

The default appearance of the Finishing tab
The options in the Print Quality group box might vary, depending on your HP LaserJet product. The Finishing tab contains a document preview image and three group boxes:

Custom

The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom button on the Paper tab. The following illustration shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.

Figure 24.

Custom Paper Size dialog box
When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name group contains one of two things, depending upon the current paper size selection in the Paper tab: If the paper size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu contains the name of that custom size. If the paper size selection is a standard paper size, then the drop-down menu shows the default name Untitled for a custom paper size.
In Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me, two names for the same size media can coexist (for example, "big" and "BIG" can both be used as names for custom-size paper measuring 8.4 inches by 11 inches). In Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, both upper and lower-case names can be used, but they cannot be used to name the same paper size.
The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom paper-size names, and not against the standard paper-size names. The complete set of titles for this button and the specific characteristics that determine its title and capabilities are discussed in the dynamic command button section.
PCL 5c and PCL 6 driver features 71

Name drop-down menu

The Name drop-down menu displays the name of the last selected custom paper size. Use the Name drop-down menu to type new names for custom paper sizes and to select from the list of currently defined custom paper sizes. The name displayed in the Name drop-down menu is one of three things, depending upon the following conditions: If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu and the other controls in the dialog box have not been changed since then, the Name dropdown menu displays the name of the last selected custom paper size. If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was selected or saved, or if a saved paper size has just been deleted, then the Name drop-down menu displays the default name of Untitled. If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the drop-down menu display until a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu. If you type a new name into the Name drop-down menu, but then do not click the Save button, you should be able to change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if a saved paper-size name is selected from the drop-down menu, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning, and replaced by the values of the selected custom paper size.

Private Job

This option allows you to send a print job directly to the printer memory. Selection of Private Job activates the PIN field. The print job can be printed only after you type a PIN in the printer control panel. After the job is printed, the printer removes the job from the printer memory. 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. Private Job stores the print job on the hard disk. Once released for print, the private job is immediately deleted from the printer. If more copies are needed, it will be necessary to reprint the job from the application. If you send a second private job to the printer with the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the original job for printing), the second job will overwrite the older job, regardless of the PIN. Private jobs are deleted if power to the printer is removed.

Stored Job

The Stored Job option allows you to send a print job directly to the printer hard disk. The print job will be stored in the printer as if it is an electronic file cabinet. After the print job is stored in the printer's hard disk, you can print the job from the printer control panel. The job remains stored on the printer until it is deleted or overwritten by a document with the same user and job names. Stored jobs remain on the printer hard disk when power is interrupted. Use this feature for forms and other common or shared documents.
PCL 5c and PCL 6 driver features 79
A stored job can be handled in two ways, as either a private or a public job. A private stored job allows you to send a print job directly to the printer memory and can be printed only after you type a PIN in the printer control panel. (You can set the PIN in the Print dialog box.) After the job is printed, the job remains in the printer memory and can be printed again from the printer control panel. This feature is useful when you are printing sensitive or confidential documents you do not want to leave in an output bin after printing. Private mode is initiated by clicking the Require PIN to Print check box. In this mode, a PIN entry at the control panel is required to release the job. The box labeled PIN is usually inactive. The Require PIN to Print option is activated if you click Stored Job. If selected, you must enter a PIN to make the stored job private.
A private stored job is not the same as a private job (see above). Private jobs are deleted from the printer memory after they are printed. Private stored jobs are retained in the printer memory after printing, but require that a PIN be typed each time they are printed.

By clicking the About button on the Basics tab or selecting the HP logo on any of the driver property pages, the About box appears. To close the About box, click OK, press ESC, press ALT + F4, or press ENTER. The figure below shows the About box. The information varies according to HP LaserJet model number, driver, date, and versions.

To change the settings, make your selections using the drop-down menus in the Color Settings dialog box, and then click OK. You are then prompted to save your selections as a Custom, or manual, setting.

Figure 29.

Manual Color Options dialog box
The Manual Color Options dialog box gives you independent control of neutral grays and halftone for the three major page components: text, graphics, and photographs. The Neutral Grays: drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the printer firmware. The options are Black Only or 4-Color. You can adjust the Neutral Grays: setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs. Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and blacks) using only black toner which ensures that neutral colors do not have a color cast. 4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible black.

Silent installer

You can use the HP LaserJet printing system software to create a silent installer that runs the SETUP.EXE program without user interaction. This installation method is useful when you want to use the default selections provided by the installer or when you want to run the installation without being prompted. You also have the option of creating a custom disk image that contains specific drivers and utilities, allowing users to run the installer without further interaction. Silent installation can be performed in two ways: Customized silent installer Command-line silent installer
Customized silent installer
Use this option to select the printing-system components to include in the silent installation. You can select the operating system, language, printer models, drivers, utilities, and documentation to install.
Driver Management and Configuration Utility (Internal)
Driver Management and Configuration (DMC) is a software architecture and set of tools that permits HP and third-party software to be customized and distributed within managed corporate printing environments. It provides network administrators with the capability to preconfigure printer drivers and other printing software and manage that software on client workstations remotely. With DMC, customized printer settings can be retained during driver updates, rather than be replaced with the default settings of the new driver.
Command-line silent install
This method cannot be customized and installs only the printing-system components that are included in the Typical Installation.
Values that follow equal signs ( = ) in a command line must not contain intervening spaces.

Method 1: Command line

Type the following at the command line (do not type the beginning and ending quotation marks): "<CD-ROM-ROOT>/SETUP/SETUP.EXE /U /PORT=XXXX /PRINTER=N / PD=N"

Method 2: SETUP.LST

Use the SETUP.LST file to specify command-line arguments to the installer for an unattended installation. You can send command-line arguments in one of the following ways: Send the command directly to the installer. Send the command using the SETUP.LST file located in the setup directory. Use a combination of the two methods.
For example, this file contains two options: /port and /printer. The installer operates as normal because the /u option has not been specified. If you use setup /u for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and uses the two values specified in the defaults section of the SETUP.LST file. If you use setup /u / printer=4 for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and chooses the HP LaserJet 5500. The options specified on the command line override the options specified in the SETUP.LST file. The options available can also include the /u option. Using this option key makes the installer always operate as unattended. The following descriptions explain the available options: /u signals the installer to use the specified port and printer given on the command line (or in this file), and to use all default selections. Installation then proceeds without prompting the user. /port=xxxx is used to specify the default port when performing an unattended installation. The value specified by xxxx should be a valid port and should contain no spaces; for example, LPT1 /printer=n is used to specify the default printer when doing an unattended installation. The value specified by n is an integer that references the list of available printers. For example, the following printers are available for the HP LaserJet 5500 series printer installation:
