2-8 Installation and Configuration
Configuring the Printer

configuration. Alternatively, you could configure the printer by using the DJPMenu Configuration Utility
for DOS environment.
Setting up the Printer
Go to the printer setup and select HP DeskJet 400. Click on the Setup button to choose the following:
• Automatic/Manual
• Print Quality
• Paper Type
• Paper Size
• Paper Source
• Orientation
• Number of Copies to Print
• Reverse Order Printing
Click on the OK button when you have selected your configuration and you can start to print.
Configuration Options with the DJPMenu Configuration Utility
DJPMenu is a program that remotely changes settings on HP DeskJet 400 printer for the DOS
environment. It requires MS-DOS version 3.3 or later with 80 columns by 25 lines of text display (color or
monochrome). In addition, DJPMenu requires a direct connection to the printer via the parallel port of
your computer. It will not work through the serial port, any network or if any print spooler (such as DOS
PRINT) is installed.
Users can run the DJPMenu configuration utility on their host computer. They can specify all the printer
settings using the DJPMenu and verify the current settings.
Running the DJPMenu Configuration Utility
To run DJPMenu, first install the DJPMENU.EXE file to the computer’s hard drive using INSTALL.BAT
from the printer software Installation Disk , then type:
c:\deskjet\ djpmenu .
Changing Default Graphics Density
You can change default graphics resolution from the factory default of 300 dpi to 75, 100, or 150 dpi, and
back to 300. You can set this new default Graphics Density from within the DJPMenu configuration utility.
Changing the Input Buffer Size
You can change the input buffer size from the default value of 16K to 48K.
If you are using Windows, the default of 16K is recommended. If you are using a DOS application that
prints mainly text, you may find that switching to 48K will shorten the time that your application is tied up
printing to the DeskJet 400.
Note To use the DJPMenu configuration utility, the computer and printer must be connected directly. The
utility will not work with print spoolers and some switch boxes.
