Printing

Create a print job

In order to print something, you must send it to the printer. This constitutes a print job, which is entered into the printer's print queue. There are two main ways of sending a print job to the printer:

To print directly from a program, use the program's Print command as usual. When you select your HP Designjet printer, the printer driver is invoked to send your job to the printer.

If you have a file that is already in a supported graphical format, you can use the Embedded Web Server to send it directly to the printer without going through a printer driver (see below).

Using the Embedded Web Server to print files

From HP Easy Printer Care or the Embedded Web Server, select Job Center > Submit Job. You will see the window below.

Press the Add files button to choose the files from your computer that you want to print. The files must be in one of the following formats:

PDF (HP Designjet T1100ps only)

PostScript (HP Designjet T1100ps only)

TIFF (HP Designjet T1100ps only)

JPEG (HP Designjet T1100ps only)

HP-GL/2

RTL

CALS/G4

NOTE: When you print to a file, the file should be in one of the above formats, but its name may have an extension such as .plt or .prn.

If the files are not in one of these formats, they will not be printed successfully.

If the jobs have been generated with the appropriate settings (such as page size, rotation, resizing, and number of copies), you can just press the Print button and they will be sent to the printer.
