4 Operating the display

Software and utilities

HP displays are Plug-and-Play with Windows® XP, Windows Vista™, and Windows 7 operating systems, so you do not need to download the .INF file or the .ICM file for these operating systems. The most current versions of the following software and utilities can be downloaded from the following HP website for use with the displays as needed: www.hp.com.

Auto-adjustment Pattern Utility—Optimizes the display.

HP Network Sign Manager (HP LD4210 and HP LD4710 only)—Allows you to select and control the display options remotely from a connected media player/computer and allows you to select the options for the HP Media Sign Player. For more details on the HP Media Sign Player, refer to Using the HP Media Sign Player on page 42. To install and configure the HP Network Sign Manager software, refer to the HP Network Sign Manager User Guide (available only in English) included on the CD provided with the display.

NOTE: If the display does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can be downloaded from the HP displays support website. Refer to Downloading from the Web on page 29.

The information file

The setup information, or .INF file, defines display resources used by Microsoft® Windows operating systems to ensure display compatibility with the media player/computer’s graphics adapter.

The image color matching file

The image color matching, or .ICM file, is a color data file that is used in conjunction with graphics applications to provide consistent color matching from display screen to printer, or from scanner to the display screen. The .ICM file is only activated from within the graphics applications that support this feature.
