NOTE Depending on the type of installation and selected options, you might or might not be presented with some additional steps after you click Finish. Distribution The installation package is now ready for distribution. It is the same as the package on the CD, except that it is limited to one language, and it contains the features and options that you selected. The installation package is run silently so that it requires no user interaction.
However, in a mixed operating system environment (one in which servers and clients might run on different operating systems), conflicts can occur when client computers run a version of the print driver that is different from the one on the print server. In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows 2000 and continuing with all future operating systems, print drivers would run as user-mode processes.

Engineering Details Engineering Details 7 Introduction This chapter presents engineering detail for the following topics: ENWW ● File to E-mail utility ● Media attributes ● Remote firmware update ● Printing print-ready documents ● Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems Introduction 217
File to E-mail utility The File to E-mail utility is a standalone Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) program that reads an .INI file to detect where the HP LaserJet product software is installed. The program then attaches relevant log or history files to an e-mail that can be sent to HP Customer Support to assist troubleshooting. The utility runs on the computer, but does not interact with your HP LaserJet product.
Engineering Details Figure 7-1 File to E-mail – sample e-mail message with files attached If the File to E-mail utility fails for any reason (for instance, if you cancel the new message), all the files are copied to a folder on the desktop that is named CCC, possibly with strings of 0's attached to the end. You can zip these files and e-mail them separately.
Media attributes This section includes the following information about media attributes: Engineering Details ● media sources and destinations ● media-tray configurations ● media-source commands ● media types and sizes ● PCL 6 custom media sizes Media sources and destinations The following table indicates the standard and optional media sources and destinations for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer: Table 7-1 HP Color LaserJet 3600 media sources and destinations Media sources Media destinations
Media types and sizes The tables in this section provide information about media features, media attributes, and mediahandling constraints for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer. Driver features and attributes The following table lists the features and attributes of various media listed under the Size Is: drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab. The list order can vary, depending on the product and operating system. The list contains all of the following sizes, and might contain sizes from other drivers.

Remote firmware update The HP Color LaserJet 3600 features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the latest printing-system software and print drivers. 1. Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the printer. 2. Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to your computer. 3. Download the new firmware to the product.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the product to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the host computer that is sending the update and the I/O method (parallel or network).
Table 7-8 Troubleshooting a firmware update failure (continued) Reason for firmware update failure Corrective action The upgrade was interrupted. See Table 7-9 Update messages. A flash hardware failure occurred. Although it is extremely unlikely, the product might have a hardware failure. Call technical support to address the problem (see the flyer that came with the product for a local telephone support list).
NOTE The following instructions can be used on Windows or Macintosh operating systems. Engineering Details 1. Make note of the TCP/IP address on the EIO-Jetdirect page. The EIO-Jetdirect page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see Determining the current level of firmware 2. Open a browser window. 3. In the address line of the browser, type ftp://, where is the TCP/ IP address of your product.
Type ftp . For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type ftp 192.168.0.90. 4. Press Enter on the keyboard. 5. When prompted for the user name, press Enter. 6. When prompted for the password, press Enter. 7. Type bin at the command prompt. 8. Press Enter. The message 200 Type set to I, Using binary mode to transfer files appears in the command window. 9. Type put , where is the name of the .
Macintosh operating systems Engineering Details 1. Make a note of the TCP/IP address on the EIO-Jetdirect page. The EIO-Jetdirect page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see Determining the current level of firmware. 2. Open a Terminal window on your Macintosh. You can find the Terminal program on the computer hard drive in the Applications/Utilities folder. 3. Type FTP For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.
Windows 98 or Windows Me 1. From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS window, type the following: Mode lpt1:,,p NOTE If the product is attached to a parallel port other than LPT1, then substitute the correct LPT port number in the mode command. Press Enter on the keyboard. The response you receive should be similar to these examples: > LPT1 Not Rerouted > Resident portion of MODE loaded > Infinite retry on parallel printer time-out 3.
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer drivers, but it is possible to update the printer firmware in Windows NT 4.0. 1. At a command prompt, type copy /b , where is the name of the .RFU file (including the path) and is the name of the appropriate printer port (such as LPT1). For example, type the following: C:\>copy /b c:\3600fw.
NOTE The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the READY message appears on the control panel. Do not turn off the product or interfere with the update until you see this message. 4. Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the current update. If the product is shared on a Windows network, follow these instructions: 1.
Remote firmware update for UNIX systems For UNIX systems, any command method that delivers the .TAR file to the product is acceptable, including the following: Engineering Details 1. At the command prompt, type cp /home/yourmachine/FILENAME /dev/parallel>, where is the location of the .TAR file. 2. The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can take several minutes.
NOTE The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the READY message appears on the control panel. Do not turn off the product or interfere with the update until you see this message. 5. Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the current update. NOTE This remote firmware update method is for use in Windows NT 4.
Engineering Details 4. Expand the Device Lists folder and select All Devices. Locate the product that you want to update in the list of products, and click to select it. 5. Locate the drop-down box for Device Tools in the upper-right corner of the window. Select Update Printer Firmware from the choose action list. 6. If the name of the .RFU file is not listed in the All Available Images dialog box, click Browse in the Upload New Firmware Image dialog box and navigate to the location of the .
