Software applications and drivers

To make sure that your printer prints exactly what you were expecting—in terms of

size, position, orientation, color and quality—the key is to use the correct driver for

the combination of your application software and your printer, and to be confident

that it is configured correctly.

Two types of HP drivers are supplied with your printer:

For users of AutoCAD

For users of Microsoft Windows applications.

These drivers come with printed and online documentation to help you install and

configure them correctly.

Generally, software applications include their own drivers too. For some popular

applications, we have provided with this printer a set of Software Application

Notes. If you find your own application in these notes, we recommend that you

use the information they contain as an overall guide to configuring the software for

your printer.

The CD–ROM that is supplied with the HP DesignJet 488CA contains some useful

guidance on which drivers you should install. When you have set up your printer,

check this information; you will be prompted again to do this on page 1–24.

Up-to-date information about drivers and software support is available from HP’s

web site; see page iv.

Memory

Your printer comes with a basic memory of 4MB. Note that there is not a

one-for-one relationship between the printer’s memory and the maximum size of

file that it can print. However, in case you need to print particularly large files, the

following memory expansion modules are available; 4MB*, 8MB*, 16MB, and

32MB. The maximum total memory is 36MB (4 + 32). With some drivers, there

are other means of printing large files—for advice, see page 9–16.

* 4MB and 8MB memory expansion modules are not available with the HP DesignJet

488CA.
