HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows®

Introduction

You can control print jobs from the product control panel, the software program print dialog box, or the print driver.

Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print driver settings. Print driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.

Access print drivers

Depending on the operating system on which you are installing the print drivers, you can gain access to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces in several ways.

To gain access to the print driver settings from within most software programs, follow these steps:

1.Click the File menu.

2.Click the Print item.

3.Click the Properties button.

The appearance and names of the driver tabs can vary, depending on the operating system. These driver settings apply only while that software program is open.

You can control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. Here you have access to two sets of driver tabs: the Printing Preferences tabs and the Properties tabs. The settings that you make on the Printing Preferences driver tabs control the driver default settings for each user profile. Installable options can be configured in Properties driver tabs.

Printing Preferences driver tabs

The Printing Preferences driver tabs change the default settings that are used across all software programs. To gain access to these tabs, follow these steps:

1.Depending on your operating system, click the Start button and then do one of the following to find the list of installed printers:

Click Devices and Printers or Printers and Faxes

Click Control Panel and then click Printers, or first click Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers

Click Settings, and then click Printers or Printers and Faxes

2.Right-click the product icon.

3.Click the Printing Preferences item.
