HP traditional print drivers for MS Windows

NOTE When using font cards with the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and HP Traditional

PCL 5 Driver: To install screen fonts that match the font card, use the .HPB file that is specifically designed to work with that card. If no screen fonts exist for the card, use the .PCM file that is specifically designed to work with that card.

Alternative Letterhead Mode

When selected, this option eliminates the need to flip or reload letterhead or preprinted paper in a tray, whether you are printing on one or both sides of the sheet. Load the paper as you would for printing on both sides. If the printer tray has an icon that indicates whether to load paper either face-up or face- down, load the paper in opposite orientation of that shown.

When this option is selected, you must select one of the following options in the Type is setting:

●Letterhead

●Preprinted

Ignore Application Collation

This setting overrides collation options that are selected in the print options of a software program. When Ignore Application Collation is selected, the print driver collates in the most appropriate way for the print job. The performance of this feature depends on the software program that you are using.

Printer Memory

The Total Memory value shows the total amount of memory that is physically installed in the printer. The Total memory value is a dynamic value that varies depending on the specific configuration of the printer. The default values for total printer memory are specified on the Configuration tab.

The Driver Work Space (DWS) value shows the amount of memory that is available for keeping track of fonts that are downloaded from the driver. The driver deletes downloaded fonts if it has exceeded the available memory value. The (DWS) value is a dynamic value that varies depending on the specific configuration of the printer. Use the (DWS) option to specify the amount of work-space memory that is available to the printer. An accurate (DWS) value optimizes driver performance.

The HP traditional PCL 6 and PCL 5 drivers automatically configure the Total Memory and (DWS) values in Windows 98 and Windows Me environments that support bidirectional communication. To manually set the Total Memory and (DWS) values, print a configuration page and find the Total Memory and DWS values in the Memory section of the page. Then, click More… on the Configuration tab, and either use the up and down arrows to select the appropriate values or type the Total Memory and DWS values in the Total Memory and (DWS) fields of the More Configuration Options dialog box.

Include Types in Application Source List

When the Include Types in Application Source List check box is selected, all media types (such as heavy media and transparencies) are available from the Source is: list on the Paper tab. When you are in a software program, you can open the Paper tab by clicking Print from the File menu and then clicking Properties.
