Printing print-ready documents

Several methods are available for printing documents independently of the original software program that was used to create the document. Normally, the document is printed by opening the original application and printing it to a file, or is printed by means of a distribution method such as internet downloading. The following print-ready file formats can be sent directly to the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4020-CP4520 Series product without first opening the original software program:

HP LaserJet Printer Control Language (.PRN)

Portable Document Format (.PDF)

Postscript (.PS)

Text (.TXT)

Use one of the following methods to send print-ready files to your product.

NOTE: The examples that are used here are for printing .PDF documents. However, any print-ready file type can be substituted.
