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 23.

HP PCL 5e, PCL 6, PS, OS/2, UNIX and Macintosh drivers are slightly different. Check the drivers for available options. The PCL6 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.)

Printer Collation

The Printer Collation feature, only available with 16 MB of RAM or a hard disk, allows multiple original prints (mopying) that provides you the following advantages:

Reduces network traffic

Faster return to application

All documents are original

See the application or printer driver help for specific steps.
