4 HP PCL 6 printer driver for Windows Introduction This chapter describes the PCL 6 printer driver features. You can control print jobs from the product control panel, the software program, or the printer driver user interface. Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over printer-driver settings.
Change the printer driver settings for Windows Operating System To change the settings for all print jobs until the software program is closed To change the default settings for all print jobs To change the device configuration settings Windows 7, XP, Server 2003, and Vista 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print. 1. 1. 2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences. The steps can vary; this procedure is most common.
Properties tab set The Properties tab set contains information about and options for configuring the product. NOTE: Windows also has tabs in the Properties tab set. For information about those tabs, see the documentation that came with the computer. Printing Preferences tab set The HP LaserJet Enterprise M4555 MFP Series product Printing Preferences tabs contain options for formatting documents for the product.
Help system The HP PCL 6 printer driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options. “What's this?” Help Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 support What's this? Help. You can gain access to “What's this?” Help messages in any of the following ways: ● Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears. ● Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key.
NOTE: In this example, the conflict can be resolved manually. If the conflict is not resolved when the driver is closed, then the same dialog appears again when a print job is sent to the product.
Advanced tab features NOTE: The Advanced tab is located on the Printing Preferences tab set. Use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special controls that are not commonly used, as well as to control features such as collating and copies in the driver (although most current software programs support these features in the print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the Advanced tab.
Copy Count Copy Count specifies the number of copies to print. This driver setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available in the software program, set the copy count in the software program. The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count option. You can select the number by typing in the text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999.
Advanced Printing Features When the Advanced Printing Features setting is Enabled, metafile spooling is turned on and Finishing tab options such as Page Order, Booklet Layout, and Pages per Sheet are available, depending on your product. Enhanced metafile spooling is used to greatly reduce the amount of time that elapses between a request to print (initiated by an application) and the return of control to the application by the operating system.
Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics-compression method: ● ◦ Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use. ◦ Best Quality. This option forces the software to use a lossless compression method. (Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.) ◦ Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this option requires the software to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost).

Paper Options The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following figure shows the Paper Options group box and the selections that are available by default.
Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different paper sizes. NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes within a single document.
The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions: ● If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom paper size. ● If a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the default name of Custom.

When you disable mopier mode, you are not necessarily disabling multiple collated copies, which the driver can still perform through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is disabled when you change the Mopier Mode setting to Disabled). However, a multiple-copy print job that is sent when the mopier is disabled loses the advantage of transmitting the print job once, because the job is sent through the network for each collated copy.
About tab features NOTE: The About tab is located on the Properties tab set. The About tab provides detailed information about driver component versions. It contains an overall build version number (in parentheses after the model name) together with specific information about each of the components.
