HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5 UPD driver, and HP UPD PS for Windows Introduction ● Change the printer driver settings for Windows ● Help system ● Advanced tab features ● Printing Shortcuts tab features ● Paper/Quality tab features ● Effects tab features ● Finishing tab features ● Color tab features ● Services tab features ● Device Settings tab features ● About tab features Change the printer driver settings for Windows Operating System To change the settings for all print jobs until the software
To gain access to driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then click Properties. The appearance and names of the driver tabs that appear can vary, depending on the operating system. These settings apply only while the software program is open. You can also control the driver directly from the Printers folder. These settings change the default settings for all software programs.
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. Move the mouse over the document preview image, and the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking on the image. Help system The HP PCL 6 and HP UPD PS printer drivers include a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
Paper type: drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab will show a warning icon next to those paper types that are incompatible with that setting.
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 features such as paper size and number of copies. Figure 4-2 Advanced tab – PCL 6 printer driver Paper/Output ● Copy Count setting Copy Count setting This printer-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.
Because you can set the number of copies from some software programs, conflicts can arise between the software program and the printer driver. In most cases, the software program and the printer driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in the software program will appear in the printer-driver settings. For some software programs, this communication does not happen, and the number of copies settings are treated independently.
TrueType Font settings This option specifies the TrueType font settings. The following settings are available: ● Substitute with Device Font. This setting causes the product to use equivalent fonts for printing documents that contain TrueType fonts. This permits faster printing; however, special characters that the product fonts do not support might not print correctly. ● Download as Softfont. This setting causes TrueType fonts to be downloaded and used for printing, instead of using the product fonts.
Printer Features ● Print All Text as Black ● Send TrueType as Bitmap (HP PCL 6 printer driver only) ● Raster Compression ● Print Data Optimization Print All Text as Black The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the product prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white.
NOTE: Page ordering works on whole sheets of paper rather than on individual logical pages. If you set Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) to be greater than one, the ordering of logical pages on a physical sheet of paper does not change.
Printing Shortcuts tab features ● Use defined printing shortcuts ● Create a custom printing shortcut Use the Printing Shortcuts tab to print jobs with specific printer-driver settings. The available settings depend on the product configuration. Select one of the defined shortcuts or create custom printing shortcuts. Figure 4-3 Printing Shortcuts tab Select one of the defined shortcuts or custom printing shortcuts, and then click OK to print the job with the specific printer-driver settings.

Paper sizes The Paper sizes setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes. Move the mouse cursor over the dimensions label to change the cursor from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height controls is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter.
The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the product uses the source tray that supports the selected paper size. If you select a source tray other than Automatically Select, make sure that the correct paper size is loaded in the source tray. Paper type: The Paper type: drop-down menu shows all of the supported paper types. When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the product uses the default paper type, which is usually Plain.

It prints the document without changing the document size.
With Print document on selected, % of actual size and Pages per sheet get reset to their default values. When Print document on is selected, the drop-down menu shows the paper sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports and any custom sizes that have been created. When Print document on is selected, Scale to fit is automatically selected.

Book and booklet printing The product supports both book and booklet printing. A book is a print job that consists of at least two pages. It can have a different paper type for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Special pages; settings on the Paper/Quality tab to specify settings for blank or preprinted pages to be inserted in the print job.
● 9 pages per sheet ● 16 pages per sheet NOTE: Selecting an option other than 1 page per sheet makes booklet printing unavailable. Print page borders Related controls indented beneath the Pages per sheet edit box are Print page borders and Page order, which become active when Pages per sheet is greater than 1. Print page borders sets a line around each page image on a printed sheet to help visually define the borders of each logical page.
NOTE: Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the printer driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation. The Orientation group box contains the following options: ● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the paper. This is the default orientation. ● Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the paper. ● Rotate by 180 degrees.
The Color tab is shown in the following figure. Figure 4-7 Color tab The Color tab contains the following sets of controls: ● Color Options ● Color Themes ● Document preview image Color Options Use the Color Options group box to adjust the independent color controls. The settings affect the print job color rendering and print quality.
● Settings button (that opens the Color Settings dialog box) ● Print in Grayscale check box Figure 4-8 Color tab – Color Options group box Automatic The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements for each element in a document.
