| Printer Software |
| Printer software allows the computer to communicate with the printer |
| and enables software applications to use all of the available printer |
| features. |
| The printer is packaged with the software you need to take full |
| advantage of the printer’s features in Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 for |
| Workgroups, Windows 95, and some DOS environments. |
| The HP LaserJet 6MP also comes with software you need to use the |
| PostScript language in both Macintosh and Windows environments. |
| Network and Switch Box Users |
N o t e | |
| Some of the printer’s software components require a direct cable |
| connection between the printer and computer to support |
| communication (such as status messages). Most devices, including |
| switchboxes, connected between the printer and the computer interrupt |
| the messages being sent from the printer back to the computer. |
If you use a mechanical switch box, follow these guidelines:
∙Do not switch while the printer is printing or receiving data (when the Data [middle] light is on and the Ready [front] light is blinking).
∙Do not switch to a host computer that is off and then switch that computer on. The computer can appear to be sending data. If the Error (back) light is blinking, clear the printer memory by pressing [Job[Cancel].
∙Use a surge protector.
