Additional Features
Job Status and Alerts
Job Status and Alerts provides job status messages at the host PC when printing problems occur (toner out,
paper out, etc.) or when a print job is complete. It also allows the users to proactively check the status of the
printer. This utility can be configured to display only those message the user wants.
Supplies Information and Reordering
This feature allows you to order the consumables and supplies needed for your HP printers directly from the Web.
This feature is available during a custom install and requires Job Status and Alerts.
Job Retention Features
Selected from the printer driver, Job Retention lets you store a print job on the printer's hard disk. This allows you
to perform a number of advanced print job functions, including quick copying a job, proofing and holding a job,
printing a private job, and storing a job. Job Retention is a standard feature of the HP Color LaserJet 4550HDN
printer, and is optional on the 4550, 4550N, and 4550DN printers.
Automatic PANTONE®* Calibration (PS® driver only)
Automatic PANTONE®* Calibration is the default setting for HP Color LaserJet printers. This feature automatically
converts PANTONE®* colors to optimal color values for the printer by recognizing the PANTONE®* color name
or number in the data stream sent to the printer. The feature is activated when printing colors that were chosen
using the PANTONE®* Color Picker in supported graphics applications. See the color.wri Readme file included
on the printer CD-ROM for more information about PANTONE®* and ICC color.
Network Administrator Software Components
HP Web JetAdmin
The HP Web JetAdmin software is a printer management tool for Windows that allows network administrators to
remotely install, configure, troubleshoot, manage, and set passwords for HP JetDirect-connected printers and
accessories from an intuitive browser interface. This simplifies cross-platform management of these devices from
anywhere with corporate Internet access, and allows more proactive management and fewer trips to the printer.
This software is available at the HP Internet site.
