4 HP LaserJet P2030 Series host-based driver and PCL 5e Universal Print Driver for Windows Introduction This document describes the features of the HP LaserJet P2030 Series host-based driver for Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit). The HP LaserJet P2030 Series host-based driver is installed by default through the installer on the product software CD.
Introduction to host-based printing The HP LaserJet P2030 Series printer is a host-based product. Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by computing the print job on the host computer rather than computing it in the product formatter. The following illustration shows how the HP LaserJet P2030 Series printing-system software works.
Change the Windows print driver settings You can use software to control print jobs from several places: ● Software-program print-dialog box ● Print-driver user interface Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, the media input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over printdriver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.
● Finishing ● Services All of these tabs are product-specific. Properties driver tabs This set of tabs controls the driver behavior and driver connections. To gain access to the Properties tabs, follow these steps: 1. For Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers. For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (using the default Start menu view), click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
Help system The HP LaserJet P2030 Series host-based driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options. The following Help options are available. ● What's this? Help ● Constraint messages What's this? Help "What's this?" Help is supported in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. Gain access to "What's this?" Help messages in any of the following ways: ● Right-click a control and click What's this?, and a pop-up Help window appears.
Advanced tab features Use the Advanced tab to set the number of copies, collation, and printer feature options. The following figure shows the Advanced tab. Figure 4-3 Advanced tab HP print drivers for Windows Print Task Quick Sets The first group box in the upper portion of the Advanced tab is Print Tasks Quick Sets.
● Defaults ● Untitled Defaults When you select Defaults, nearly all of the settings are restored to the combination that existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the attribute combinations that are associated with watermark definitions or custom paper sizes have been changed or deleted, the original settings are not restored.
will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. Set the number of copies in the program, wherever possible. Collate The Collate option becomes active if the Copy setting is greater than 1. Select Collate to collate multiple copy print jobs. Printer Features The following settings are in the Printer Features group box: ● Print all Text as Black ● REt Print all Text as Black Print all Text as Black is off by default.
HP print drivers for Windows Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When the mouse cursor moves over the document preview image, the cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.
Paper/Quality tab features Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify the size, type, and source of the media for the HP LaserJet P2030 Series printer. You can also use this tab to indicate different paper-selection choices for the first page, other pages, and back cover of the document. The following figure shows the Paper/Quality tab.
Paper Options The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper Options group box and the selections available. Figure 4-6 Paper Options group box ● Size is: ● Source is: ● Type is: ● Instructions for printing on A6 media Size is: The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes. Specify the size for all the settings in the Paper Options group box.
Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, use the driver to set media size only for software programs that don't have a media-size setting, such as NotePad, or when producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes. NOTE: When using a software program that has a media-size setting, specify different media sizes within a single document by using the Use Different Paper/Covers options.
Use the Custom Paper Size dialog box to create or modify custom-paper-size information. The Custom Paper Size dialog box contains the following options: ● Name field. Click the text box to type a name for the custom paper size or click the drop-down menu to select a custom paper size that is already defined. ● Paper Size group box. If you type in a size that is too large or too small, the driver automatically adjusts the size. ● ◦ Width: spin box.
