6 Engineering Detail Introduction This section presents engineering detail for the following topics: • • Media attributes Print server operating system migration Media attributes This section includes the following information about media attributes: • • • • • paper sources and destinations paper-tray configurations paper-source commands media types and sizes PCL 6 and PCL 5c custom paper sizes Paper-source commands The PCL 5c escape sequence for paper source is "Esc&l#H" (the "l" is a lowercase "L
Media types and sizes The tables in this section provide information about media features, media attributes, and paper-handling constraints for the HP Color LaserJet 3500 series printers. Note The following table lists the features and attributes of various media listed under the Size Is: drop-down menu on the Paper tab. The list order can vary, depending on the printer and operating system. The list contains all of the following sizes, and might contain sizes from other drivers.
Width 273 mm Height 393 mm 100,100 Custom (leading edge) (10.75 inches) Minimum: (15.50 inches) Minimum: 2 (other edge) 98 mm 191 mm 8K Paper sizes (3.86 inches) (7.5 inches) Maximum: Maximum: 311 mm 469 mm (12.28 inches) (18.5 inches) PCL 6 margins 1- In Windows NT 4.0, this paper size is treated as a custom size. 2- For custom sizes, the HP traditional PCL 6 driver specifies actual dimensions - for example, for 8-inch by 9-inch custom size, "real32_8.000000 9.000000 CustomMediaSize".
HP Color LaserJet 3500 custom paper sizes Note The PS driver does not support user-defined media sizes. The following table shows custom paper sizes that are available for the HP Color LaserJet 9500 series printers.

Version 3 driver In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that starting with Windows 2000, continuing with all future operating systems, printer drivers would run as user-mode processes. User-mode drivers execute in a protected part of the operating system just like all of the normal end-user processes and software programs.
created the print queue configuration, there is no problem reading this configuration and all of the print jobs functions as expected. However, when a Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 client makes a connection to this shared printer on the Windows NT 4.0 print server, it is vended the added version-3 printer driver.
PCL 6”, but it is a version-2 driver and Windows 2000 prefers to use a version-3 printer driver when it is available. So in this case, because the print server at the remote site has a matching driver, which is version-3, the Windows 2000 client downloads this version-3 driver and now runs this printer driver. The connection to the remote print server silently upgraded the client computers printer driver to a version-3 driver.
Figure 82: Native printer driver preference with incompatible version-2 and version-3 drivers Migration strategies What follows is the exploration of three different strategies for being able to support Point and Print in a mixed operating-system environment. The three strategies are not necessarily mutually exclusive but can in some cases be combined or partially used concurrently to ensure that all of the client computers are served with a supportable printer driver configuration.
printer on .NET using a version-3 driver, and then add the compatible version-2 driver for NT clients, however, as described in Strategy 3. While this strategy has the advantage of simplicity, there are several disadvantages. Because of the restriction for version-2 PCL printer drivers described previously, not all printer products and page description languages can be supported. Another disadvantage of this strategy is the inherent risk associated with running version-2 printer drivers.

Frequently asked questions What drivers do I have installed? To determine which versions of a particular printer driver are installed on a computer, you can open the printer Properties dialog box for a printer that uses that driver and click on the Sharing tab and then click on the Additional Drivers button. Printer drivers listed with a check mark in the Environment column are installed on this computer. Printer drivers listed as “Windows NT 4.0” or “Windows NT 4.0 or 2000” are version-2 printer drivers.

Figure 86: Additional Drivers dialog box in Windows Server 2003 The Additional Drivers dialog box shows which printer drivers are installed for a particular print queue. To determine which types of printer drivers are installed for all printer drivers, open the Server Properties dialog box from the Printers folder (File -> Server Properties) and click the Drivers tab. Using Server Properties is useful because it lists the printer driver names along with the Environment and Version information.
