This section provides information on the following topics:

Printer properties (driver)

Printer properties control the printer and allow you to change default settings, such as paper size, printing on both sides of the page (manual duplexing), printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper (N-up printing), resolution, watermarks, and printer memory. You can access the printer properties in two ways:

●Through the software application from which you are printing. (Change settings for current software application use.)

●Using the Windows® operating system. (Change default settings for all future print jobs.)

Note

Because many software applications use a different method of

 

accessing the printer properties, we will describe common methods

 

used in Windows 9x & NT® 4.0, and Windows 3.1x.

Windows 9x & NT 4.0

●Change settings for current software application use: From the File menu within the software application, click Print, and then click Properties. (The steps can vary between software applications; this is the most common method.)

●Change defaults for all future print jobs: Click the Start button, click Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the printer icon for which you would like to change properties, and then choose Properties. Many of the features in Windows NT are also located on the Document Defaults menu.

Windows 3.1x

●Change settings for current software application use: From the File menu within the software application, click Print, Printers, and then click Options. (The steps can vary between software applications; this is the most common method.)

●Change defaults for all future print jobs: From the Windows control panel, double-clickPrinters, highlight the printer, and then click Setup.

1100A specifications

The HP 1100 and 1100A are pivotal laser printers developed by Hewlett-Packard in the early 1990s, marking significant advancements in printing technology of their time. Since their introduction, these models have garnered a reputation for reliability and efficiency, making them a staple in many offices.

One of the standout features of the HP 1100 series is its fast printing speed. The printers can produce up to 12 pages per minute, which was an impressive feat at the time of their release. This speed significantly reduced waiting times, allowing users to handle large-volume printing jobs with ease. Furthermore, the printers support a variety of media types, including letterhead, envelopes, and labels, enhancing versatility in print applications.

The HP 1100 and 1100A utilize laser technology, which ensures sharp and high-quality prints. The printers have a native resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch (DPI), enabling crisp text and detailed graphics. This high-resolution output made the models particularly favored for producing professional documents and presentations.

Another key characteristic is the generous memory capacity. The HP 1100 typically comes with 2 MB of standard RAM, which is expandable, allowing for improved performance in handling complex print jobs. Users can adjust the memory according to their requirements, resulting in better efficiency, particularly in environments that demand high-volume printing.

The HP 1100 series also showcases a straightforward and user-friendly operation. The built-in control panel simplifies the printing process, allowing users to manage jobs intuitively. Additionally, with the inclusion of parallel and later USB connectivity options, integration with various computer systems was seamless, ensuring compatibility with existing office infrastructure.

Energy efficiency is another aspect worth noting, as the printers are designed to consume minimal power when idle, aligning with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.

Overall, the HP 1100 and 1100A stand out for their robust construction, high-speed performance, exceptional print quality, and user-friendly features, making them a trusted choice for small to medium-sized businesses in need of dependable printing solutions. Their impact on the printing landscape during the 1990s continues to be felt today, as they paved the way for subsequent generations of laser printers.
