Advanced Printing Tasks

 

This section will help you take full advantage of the printer’s features.

 

These tasks are “advanced” because they require you to change

 

settings from the printer’s control panel or the printer driver.

 

Using Features in the Printer Driver

 

When you print from a software application, many of the printer’s

 

features are available from the printer driver. To access Windows

 

printer drivers, see page 15.

 

HP PCL 5e, PCL 6, PS, and Macintosh drivers are slightly different.

Note

 

Check the drivers for available options. The PCL 6 driver takes full

 

advantage of the printer’s features.

 

Settings in the printer driver and software application override

 

control panel settings. (Software application settings override

 

printer driver settings.)

 

Saving Printer Setup Information

 

 

Printer drivers allow you to save the printer settings you use most

 

often as the default settings. For example, the driver might be set

 

to print on letter size paper, portrait orientation, with automatic tray

 

selection (from the first available tray).

 

Some PCL 6 printer drivers will allow you to save printer settings

 

for multiple kinds of print jobs. For example, you might want to create

 

a Quick Set for envelopes, or for printing the first page of a document

 

on letterhead.

 

Look for the Quick Sets option in the Windows PCL 6 printer driver,

 

or see the printer driver help for more information.

 

Printing with a Watermark

 

A watermark is a notice, such as “Top Secret,” printed in the

 

background of each page in a document. Check the driver for

 

available options.
