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 normally because the /u option has not been specified. If you use setup /u for the installer, it operates in the unattended mode and uses the two values specified in the defaults section of the SETUP.LST file. If you use setup /u /printer=1 for the installer, it operates in the unattended mode and chooses the HP Color LaserJet 3500hdn. The options specified on the command line override the options that are specified in the SETUP.LST file

The available options can also include the /u option. Using this option key makes the installer always operate in the unattended mode. The following descriptions explain the available options:

•/u signals the installer to use the specified port and printer that are given on the command line (or in this file), and to use all of the of the default selections. Installation then proceeds without prompting you.

•/port=xxxx specifies the default port when performing an unattended installation. The value that is specified by xxxx should be a valid port and should contain no spaces; for example, LPT1.

•/printer=n specifies the default printer when performing 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 Color LaserJet 3500 series printer installation:

0 = HP Color LaserJet 3500n printer

1 = HP Color LaserJet 3500hdn printer

•/pd=n specifies whether the selected printer is the default printer when you have multiple printers connected to your network. The value specified by n is an integer (that is, 0 or 1). For this argument, typing a 1 sets the selected printer as the default printer. Typing a 0, or not specifying a value at all, sets the printer as a non-default printer.

You can preset these options in the SETUP.LST file that is located in the root directory of the HP Color LaserJet 3500 software CD-ROM. In the defaults section, add the following syntax:

(Defaults)

Options= /port=<value> /printer=<number> /pd=<number>
