Username added to watermark selections
This feature adds a new pre defined watermark called [User Name]. The user's name is retrieved from the
computer and becomes the text for the watermark. This feature is available by default in the Printing
Preferences pages under the Effects tab, or pre-configurable using the updated version of the HP Driver
Configuration Utility.
To configure a watermark to contain a username from the printer property pages, follow these steps.
1. In the property page of the product, click Printing Preferences.
2. Click the Effects tab.
3. Select [User Name] from the menu for watermarks.
To pre-configure the watermark feature in HP DCU, follow these steps.
1. Load the driver's *.cfg file in HP DCU.
NOTE: HP UPD v4.7 uses a *.cf_ file.
NOTE: The HP DCU is included with the HP Printer Administrators Resource Kit (HP PARK). To
download the HP PARK, which includes the HP DCU software and the HP Driver Configuration Support
Guide, go to
www.hp.com/go/upd and click Download software. Click a print driver, verify your
language, and then click your operating system (the HP DCU is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit
systems). From the table that lists the HP Printer Administrators Resource Kit, click Download.
2. Select Advanced Features from the Printing Preferences tab
3. Select [User Name] from the Watermarks pull down menu.
HP EasyColor
For PCL6 installations, HP EasyColor automatically selects settings in the driver to optimize the print
experience and printed quality (color theme, color options, image enhancements) of images. HP EasyColor is
enabled by default but can be turned off on the driver's Color tab so the selection of features becomes the
user's decision.
The HP EasyColor feature will behave differently depending on whether HP UPD Automatic Printer
Configuration is enabled. When enabled, you can select the Update Now option from driver properties in the
Device Settings tab.
HP Easy color takes advantage of applications that support PNG and JPEG pass through. Examples of these
applications are Microsoft Office applications. HP Easy Color will have no effect on PDF, Illustrator or
Photoshop images as the technology differs from Microsoft Office applications.
