HP Web Access The HP Web Access feature, also known as the embedded Web server (EWS), contains the following components: • • • embedded virtual machine for Java (TM) applications Web pages storage space HP Web Access is a standard feature for the HP LaserJet 4200 and HP LaserJet 4300 series printers. HP Web Access provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one printer management.
Device status If a printer problem exists, status information (such as whether the printer is online or the toner is low) is available through your Web browser on a computer that is linked directly to the printer. You can view this information without physically going to the printer to identify the status. The following illustration shows how this information is presented on the printer's Web page.
Configuration information The HP LaserJet printer configuration page is available remotely through HP Web Access. The HP Web Access configuration page provides configuration information about the printer in the same way as the configuration page printed from the printer. The following illustration shows an example of a configuration page viewed remotely through HP Web Access.
• • • • • • • Alerts Email Security Other Links Device Information Language Time Services Remote printer configuration Printer configuration information can be obtained through a Web browser by opening the printer HP Web Access page and changing any of the basic configuration information on the Settings tab. Security and password controls provide management information system managers with the level of control required within their environments.
Networking tab The following illustration shows the Network Settings option on the HP Web Access Networking tab. Figure 4: Networking tab The menu on the left of the screen contains other networking options under three categories: configuration, security, and diagnostics.
Diagnostics • • • • Network Statistics Protocol Info Test Page Refresh Rate Network settings From the Networking tab, you can enable and configure the following network protocols: • • • • • TCP/IP IPX/SPX AppleTalk Data Link Control/Logical Link Control (DLC/LLC) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Software Technical Reference Software description 31
Configurable e-mail alerts The printer can automatically send e-mail alerts about printer problems or job status to specified e-mail addresses. For example, if toner is low, the printer can notify the person responsible for ordering or changing the cartridge. If there is a printer failure, an e-mail alert can be sent directly to the person responsible for fixing the problem.
Printer Status and Alerts The HP LaserJet printing-system software includes a utility called Printer Status and Alerts that you can use to monitor print jobs and printer status from the desktop. The Printer Status and Alerts feature provides printer and job status information such as printing history, job progress, toner and paper levels, and consumables and supplies reorder information, and presents a simulated view of the printer control panel.
When the Printer Status and Alerts feature is installed, a status icon in the form of a printer is included in the Windows system tray in the lower-right corner of the screen. The printer icon remains unchanged until you send a print job to the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers. When you send a print job, the icon changes to alert you to the status of the print job. Eight icons exist in this feature. The eight icons in the following illustration show current job status.
Figure 7: Printer Status and Alerts window The appearance on the screen varies according to the HP LaserJet printer and its configuration. Note The Printer Status and Alerts window consists of two panes. The left pane shows icons for the available printers, an icon for each current print job in progress, and an Options icon. The right pane provides information based on what is selected in the left pane.
There are six settings for the refresh rate. The default setting is halfway between Less Often and More Often. The Less Often setting specifies the least frequent update intervals, which have minimal impact on network traffic. The More Often setting updates the status more frequently, but also has the most impact on traffic. The Never setting disables the job-status monitoring mechanism for the selected printer.
Figure 9: Printer Status and Alert options The appearance of the screen varies according to the HP LaserJet 4200 or 4300 series printer and its configuration. Note E-mail command and response The HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers can send e-mail messages directly. However, you must configure email information to initiate this capability. One use for this feature is to send diagnostic information to solve a printer problem. An e-mail sent to the printer requests configuration information.

Custom Quick Sets (Untitled) When you change any of the default settings on the Finishing tab or any of the other tabs, the name in the Quick Set drop-down menu dynamically changes to Untitled. If you want to save this configuration as a Quick Set, highlight the word Untitled, type the name you want for your new Quick Set, and click Save. Quick sets are saved in the system registry. To delete a Quick Set, select it from the drop-down menu and click Delete.
The Booklet Printing drop-down menu appears only when: • • • • Print on Both Sides is selected. % of Normal Size (on the Effects tab) is 100. Pages per Sheet is 1. Print Document On (on the Effects tab) is not selected. If any except the first of these conditions is not met, a Bubble Help appears next to Booklet Printing to tell you why it is disabled. Activating booklet printing The following instructions apply only to PCL drivers.
Figure 14: Selecting booklet printing type The appearance of the screen might vary from product to product. Print Quality settings, for example, can be "600 dpi", or "Faster Printing", or "Default". Note Selecting a booklet cover The booklet cover must be the same size as the inside sheets. 1 2 3 Click File, click Print, and then click Properties. Click the Paper tab, and then select the Use different paper for first page check box. Click the First Page tab.
Pages per Sheet The Pages per Sheet drop-down menu provides six settings: 1 (default), 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16. If you type another value into the box (for example, 3), the control will round the value entered to the nearest valid value (in this example, 4). 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 Quality The HP LaserJet printer driver Print Quality group box provides options that control resolution, graphics settings, and font settings. The Print Quality group box also includes a Details button. Clicking this button opens the dialog box. The Print Quality Details dialog box provides options for various print-quality settings, as shown in the following illustration.
Resolution The resolution setting for the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers is 600 dpi. Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) The Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature is implemented to address the moiré effect created when certain programs encounter certain patterns. Use this feature to turn off the pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns, but the printed result might look better. The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch patterns. This option is on by default.
Effects tab features Use the Effects tab to create unique paper effects such as scaling and watermarks. Figure 17: Effects tab Print Document On setting Use Print Document On to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
Scale to Fit option The Scale to Fit option specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper.
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus the string "(none)", which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark selected from this list appears in the preview image. When First Page Only is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is "(none)". Watermarks are applied to logical pages.
You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled, and a Bubble Help appears that explains why the button is disabled and how to enable it. Note To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.
Size Font sizes from 1 to 999 points are available from the Size menu. The default point size is language-dependent. The choice of regular, bold, italic, and bold italic is available from the Style drop-down menu. Default settings The default settings for new watermarks are Arial (R) font, Gray color, Very Light shading, 150points, and Regular style. The default settings for preset watermarks are Arial font, Gray color, Very Light shading, and Bold style.
Figure 20: Paper tab All Pages The controls on this mini-tab are contained in an All Pages mini-tab. As the name implies, this means that the settings specified on that mini-tab apply to all pages of the document. However, when you select the Use different paper for first page check box, the All Pages mini-tab is replaced by three mini-tabs. These three mini-tabs are: • • • 62 First Page, which contains the same controls as All Pages.
Other Pages Use the Other Pages mini-tab to select an alternative media type or source for the pages that follow the first page of a document. The choices and defaults for Source is and Type is are the same as for First Page. Figure 21: Other Pages mini-tab Back Cover Use this feature to include a blank back cover on a document, or include a back cover from a paper source different from that used for the remainder of the document.
No back cover is selected as the default, with the drop-down Source is and Type is selection boxes disabled. Clicking Use an alternate source activates the drop-down menus. The drop-down menu value defaults to the same source as that chosen for the First Page mini-tab. Clicking Use the first page source changes the drop-down value to match the first page, if necessary, but the drop-down menus remain inactive.
Custom The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom button on the Paper tab. The following illustration shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
• If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was selected or saved, or if a saved paper size has just been deleted, then the Name drop-down menu shows the default name of Untitled. • If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the drop-down menu until a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu.
Width and height controls The width and height values can be changed either by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes, or by using the up and down arrows. Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control 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. See "Custom width and height control limits.
Close button The Close button closes the Custom Paper Size dialog box according to the logic in the following table. In all cases, any custom paper sizes that are successfully saved (and not renamed or deleted) while the dialog box is open will remain in the paper size list in the Paper tab. The following table lists options that appear when you click the Close button. Table 11: Close dialog box text strings If the drop-down menu contains ...And the button says ...
query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information returned is an updated list of paper types. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are available through the driver.

These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the printer or the current settings of other controls.
Figure 35: The default appearance of the Layout tab Orientation Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page. It does not affect in any way the manner in which the media is fed into the printer. The default orientation is Portrait. Note Nearly all programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few programs that do not set an orientation.
Page Order Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back prints the document so that page 1 is the front of the document. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1 is at the back of the document. The Back to Front setting is useful if the user is printing to a face-up output bin to achieve output in the correct order. The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of paper rather than on individual logical pages.
This setting is not synchronized with the program's print dialog. Note REt Resolution Enhancement technology is a simple on/off setting rather than light/medium/dark/off. The On setting corresponds to the "medium" setting found in older HP printers. Send TrueType as Bitmaps Send TrueType as Bitmaps is the only setting available and provides the user a safety net for those programs that have trouble dealing with TrueType fonts for special graphic purposes such as shading, rotation, or slanting.
Paper/Quality tab features The Paper/Quality tab allows you to specify the size, type, and source of your print media, together with Print Quality settings. You may also indicate paper selection choices for the first page of the document that are different from the choices for the other pages. The Paper/Quality tab is shown in the following illustration.
Whenever you make changes to all pages (that is, when Use different paper is cleared), these changes are reflected in both the First Page and Other Pages settings whenever the user sets “Use different paper”. Back Cover The Back Cover allows the user to select an alternate paper source or media type from which a blank page will be drawn and placed after the last page of the document. The default selection is that no back cover is printed.
Print Quality For the HP LaserJet PCL 6 driver, the Print Quality group box contains the following resolution options: • • • • ProRes 1200 (180 lpi) ProRes 1200 (212 lpi) FastRes 1200 (Faster) 600 dpi FastRes 1200 (Faster) is the default setting. For the HP LaserJet PCL 5e driver, the Print Quality group box contains the following resolution options: • • 600 dpi 300 dpi 300 dpi is the default setting.
Finishing tab features The appearance of the Finishing tab differs, depending on the printer model and paper-handling accessories installed.
Figure 38: The default appearance of the Finishing tab The full range of settings for the Finishing tab is shown in the following illustration.
When the Print Page Borders check box is selected, a line is set around each page image to help visually define the borders of each logical page. Print Page Borders When you select the Print Page Borders check box, a line is set around each page image on a printed sheet to help visually define the borders of each logical page.
Rotate by 180 degrees This feature causes the driver to rotate all page images 180 degrees. The purpose of this feature is to provide more control over the binding edge and for controlling the image on special media. For example, a printer may have difficultyfusing toner near the trailing edge of an envelope. To correct this problem, rotate the media 180 degrees in the paper tray and select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box.
Figure 41: Effects tab Print Document On setting Use Print Document On to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the page image to fit the new paper size. The Print Document On control is disabled by any of the following conditions: • • Percent of Normal Size is not 100. Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1. When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print.
The following settings disable % of Normal Size: • • Print Document On is selected. Pages per Sheet is not 1. Watermarks Use the Watermarks feature to choose a watermark, create your own custom watermarks (text only), or edit an existing watermark.
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus the string "(none)", which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark selected from this list appears in the preview image. When First Page Only is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is "(none)". Watermarks are applied to logical pages.
name it. To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box. To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete. You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time. When the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled, and a Bubble Help appears that explains why the button is disabled and how to enable it.
Size Font sizes from 1 to 999 points are available from the Size menu. The default point size is language-dependent. The choice of regular, bold, italic, and bold italic is available from the Style drop-down menu. Default settings The default settings for new watermarks are Arial (R) font, Gray color, Very Light shading, 150points, and Regular style. The default settings for preset watermarks are Arial font, Gray color, Very Light shading, and Bold style.
• Stored Job The following illustration shows the Job Storage Settings window. Figure 45: Job Storage Settings window The Job Storage options available to you depends on whether your printer has an optional hard disk installed. Job Storage options require a printer hard disk (an optional HP EIO disk drive). The Quick Copy and Stored Job options require the installation of a printer hard disk.
Job storage modes Using the Job Storage feature on your HP LaserJet 4200 or 4300 series printer, you can store documents at the printer and then control the printing of these documents using the printer control panel. This feature is intended to provide greater flexibility, convenience, security, and cost savings. The HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers offer the following Job Storage options.
Stored Job The Stored Job option allows you to send a print job directly to the printer hard disk. The print job will be stored in the printer as if it is an electronic file cabinet. After the print job is stored in the printer's hard disk, you can print the job from the printer control panel. The job remains stored on the printer until it is deleted or overwritten by a document with the same user and job names. Stored jobs remain on the printer hard disk when power is interrupted.
3 4 5 6 Click the Destination tab to display the destination options. Click Job Storage on the drop-down menu under Destination Features. Click Settings… . The Job Storage Settings dialog box appears. You can then select one of the Job Storage options described above by clicking the appropriate option button. These instructions are specific to the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP environments using the latest available PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PS drivers.
About tab The About tab provides detailed information about the driver. It contains an overall build number (in parenthesis after the model name) along with specific information about each of the components. The information varies according to HP LaserJet model number, driver, date, and versions. The About tab is shown in the following illustration.
Device settings The Device Settings tab communicates the hardware configuration of the printer to the driver. The Device Settings tab sheet appears whenever the driver is opened from the Printers folder by selecting and right-clicking the printer, and then clicking Properties… for the driver. When the driver is opened from within a program, the Device Settings tab is not visible. When opened from the Printers folder, the Device Settings tab appears, as shown in the following illustration.
LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers can support either the HP 500-Sheet Stacker or the HP 500-Sheet Stacker/ Stapler. Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) If a duplexing unit is installed in the printer, select Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing):, and then click Installed. When installed, the Print on Both Sides control will appear in the Layout tab. You can turn duplexing off or enable either long or short edge duplexing.
Form to Tray Assignment Form to Tray Assignment allows a network administrator to specify the paper size contained in each physical paper tray on the printer. Many printers support more than one source of paper, such as upper and lower trays. You can assign a form (which defines the paper size and margins) to each of your printer’s paper sources. Once a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print from your programs. The printer prints from the tray to which that form is assigned.
