To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the product to use a group of settings, such as fuser temperature and print speed, to produce the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as a mode or print mode, and a different print mode is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used.
Figure 3-4 Print on Both Sides Instructions HP traditional drivers When you have completed the steps that appear in the dialog box, the second half of the print job prints on the back side of the stack of media. The driver does not require the program to specifically support odd- and even-page printing, because the driver coordinates this function.

4 HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5e, and HP PS 3 emulation unidrivers for Windows Introduction This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet 4250/4350 printer unidrivers. The unidrivers include the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5e Unidriver, and the HP Postscript 3 Emulation Unidriver (the PS Emulation Unidriver) for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. HP unidrivers You can control print jobs from several places: the product control panel, the software program, and the driver user interface.
HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5e, and PS emulation unidriver features NOTE For a comparison of features between the HP unidrivers and HP traditional print drivers in various operating systems, see the Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems section of this guide. When you install the print-system software in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, the HP PCL 6 Unidriver is installed by default.
What's this? Help Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 support "What's this?" Help. You can gain access to "What's this?" Help messages in any of the following ways: ■ Right-click a control and then click What's this?. A pop-up Help window appears. ■ Click the ? button in the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control, the pop-up Help window for that feature appears.
NOTE If you select the Resolve all conflicts for me automatically option, the settings that are selected by the driver to resolve the conflict may not correctly reflect the settings you intended to use, and so may have unexpected results. It is best if you try to resolve the conflict yourself. Advanced tab features You can use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages.
The Advanced tab contains the following controls: ■ Paper/Output settings ■ Graphic settings ■ Document Options settings Paper/Output The Paper/Output settings contain the following controls: ■ Copy Count setting ■ Collated check box (appears when you select Copy Count) Copy Count 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.
Graphic options The Graphic section on the Advanced tab contains the True Type Font setting. The options for this setting are Substitute with Device Font and Download as Softfont. Select Substitute with Device Font (the default) to use equivalent printer fonts for printing documents that contain True Type fonts. This will permit faster printing; however, you might lose special characters that the printer font does not support.
Print All Text as Black The Print All Text as Black feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver 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. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.
Layout Options The Layout Options section contains the Page Order setting. 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 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1 prints last. The Back to Front setting is useful if you are printing to a face-up output bin to achieve output in the correct order.
The Paper/Quality tab contains the following controls: ■ Print Task Quick Sets group box ■ Paper Options group box ■ Document preview image ■ Print Quality group box Print Task Quick Sets The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Print Task Quick Sets.
