USER’S GUIDE

To get the most out of this printer, you need to install the printer driver for this printer or the HP LaserJet 4+ and select the HP LaserJet 4+ emulation mode: this is the best combination. When any other HP LaserJet series printer driver is installed, select the HP LaserJet 4+ emulation mode. When any other printer driver is installed, select the HP-GL, BR-Script 2, EPSON, or IBM emulation mode according to the installed printer driver. You may find difficulty in printing EPS file format pictures with the HP LaserJet 4+ mode. In this case, it is better to select the BR-Script 2 mode.

An asterisk (*) indicates the best or recommended combination of the printer driver and emulation mode. Be sure to use any of these best or recommended combinations if circumstances permit. When an emulation mode other than the HP mode or BR-Script 2 is selected, the printout may differ slightly from the printout that the target printer produces.

For Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 users, to get the best performance from your printer, install the driver supplied with your printer.
