HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

HP recommends that unless you have a specific reason for disabling Printer Automatic Configuration, you
should leave it enabled. Using the HP Driver Configuration Utility to manually configure the products does not
allow for configuring a product as color, or setting the trays or envelope feeders. These items must be
configured manually and must be done for every queue through the product properties. Also, Update Now is
disabled and the update process cannot be automated. Dynamic mode will not work in this configuration.
NOTE: Use the HP DCU if you wish to disable Printer Automatic Configuration.
The HP UPD provides a generic list of basic capabilities when Printer Automatic Configuration is disabled. The
same basic capabilities are presented when Printer Automatic Configuration is enabled, but the product
cannot be queried by the HP UPD over the network.
If a feature is defined for a product that does not support the feature, the product behaves the same as an
improperly configured traditional mode driver.
Status Notification Pop-ups do not work when Printer Automatic Configuration is disabled.
NOTE: When Printer Automatic Configuration is disabled, you cannot select Update Now from the printer
properties.
Pinless private printing
The HP UPD v4.7 can store personal print jobs on the product and does not require a PIN to print. This
functionality is similar to Pinless Private Printing with product-specific drivers.
Follow these steps to perform Pinless Private Printing under the following conditions:
●
An HP UPD driver with Pinless private printing
●
An HP product that supports Job Storage
●
An HP product with the firmware that supports Pinless Private Printing
To perform Pinless Private Printing, do the following:
1. Open the software program that you want to print from. Select File File>Print, and then click the
Properties button.
2. Select the Job Storage tab, and then click Personal Job. Leave the Make Job Private area blank.
3. Click OK to start the print job, and then go to the printer.
4. Select the job from the list on the printer control panel and print.
Job separator page
You can configure the HP UPD to print a job separator page between every print job. Job separator pages are
useful for separating print jobs in the output tray. If enabled, each print job is accompanied by a separator
page that provides user information.
NOTE: The job separator page is part of the print job and not a separate print job. In the case of automatic
stapling, this page will be stapled with the rest of the print job.
To enable the job separator page feature, follow these steps.
1. Open the Printers folder, right-click the printer, and select Printer Properties.
2. Click the Device Settings tab.
