Licensing NOTE: HP Designjet SmartStream supports only PostScript printers. If your printer requires an accessory to handle PostScript, you must install the accessory to use the printer with HP Designjet SmartStream.

For further up-to-date information, see http://www.hp.com/go/designjetsmartstream.

Supported file types

HP Designjet SmartStream supports PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and HP-GL/2 files.

Licensing

In order to use HP Designjet SmartStream, you must own at least two licenses:

One license for the HP SmartStream Preflight Manager for HP Designjet

One license per printer for the HP SmartStream Print Controller

Thus, one of your printers should have both licenses installed: the Preflight Manager and the Print Controller. Furthermore, the printer with both licenses must always be connected and turned on.

The application may be installed on multiple computers.

How to install

Update your printer’s firmware

Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware version installed, following the instructions in your printer documentation; or see http://www.hp.com/go/model/support, where model is the model number of your printer (such as T7200).

Install the licenses

Licenses are installed in the form of USB dongles attached to your printers. HP Designjet SmartStream will not work at all unless it finds both a Preflight Manager license and a Print Controller license installed in a connected printer; further printers may be added with only a Print Controller license. HP Designjet SmartStream may check at any time for the presence of the appropriate licenses.

The license dongles have been designed to be used only with a supported HP Designjet PostScript printer (see Supported printers on page 5).

However, their use is not restricted to one printer. After installing a license in an HP Designjet printer, you can uninstall it and then install it in another supported HP Designjet printer.

You should install the Preflight Manager license first, before installing any Print Controller license.

How to install the Preflight Manager license

1.Ensure that your printer is supported by HP Designjet SmartStream, and turned on.

2.Insert the HP SmartStream Preflight Manager license dongle into a USB port on the printer, marked with the USB symbol:

The front panel displays a message confirming that the license is ready for installation, and asks you to press OK to continue.
