Table 7-4 Defaults applied when the Printer Automatic Configuration fails attempted communication. (continued)
PLC5, PLC6 Post Script
Hard disk Installed Installed
Device type Monochrome (1) Color (2)
NOTE: Device type can be changed to Color by reconfiguring the Device Type on the Properties→Device
Settings tab. Some monochrome PCL 5 and PCL 6 devices cannot handle color data. If color data is sent, the
device will either generate an error or unexpected print output may occur.
NOTE: Postscript driver always sends color regardless of device type. Monochrome devices are able to
handle the color data properly. However, the driver Color tab might not display.
Steps to disable the Printer Automatic Configuration
Disabling the Printer Automatic Configuration is accomplished through pre-configuration of the UPD driver
before installation onto the client or server. The HP Driver Configuration Utility is available for download
from the HP public Web site:
www.hp.com/go/upd
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.
1. Using the HP Driver Configuration Utility, locate the HP UPD driver files and open the *.CFG file. If you
