SOFTWARE APPLICATION NOTES
Large Paper Sizes
If your application has a Page Setup, or similarly named menu
item, you should always take care when it is used to set a large
paper size. ZoomSmart scaling settings in the Paper Sizes
properties page may be active. If so, the scaling effect could
generate an error message telling you that the scaled paper size
is too large for your printer and that scaling will be disabled.
However, in some extreme cases this error message will be repeated
several times. After the final error message your drawing will be
printed according to the Page Setup settings and with the Scaling
setting disabled.
Internet Links from the Driver's Help File
The driver's help file contains some useful links for users with
access to the Internet. You can normally link from the help file
to these Internet pages. However, even if you cannot link
automatically to these pages, they can still provide you with
useful information.
The pages are:
HP Home Page http://www.hp.com/
HP Designjet Home Page http://www.designjet.hp.com/
Internet Imaging http://www.image.hp.com/
Timeout for Complex Print Jobs
Complex print jobs may experience timeout problems. Under such
circumstances, only a portion of the drawing will be properly
printed, and the device will request more media. To solve the
problem, increase the IN JOB TIMEOUT setting available through the
printer's front panel IO MENU.
For really complex drawings you may also need to change the
printer spool settings. Proceed as follows:
Start -> Settings -> Printers ->
Properties -> Details -> Spool Settings ->
Check "Start printing after last page is spooled"
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: No other applications should be running when you
install this driver.
We recommend restarting your computer before installing a driver.
Your operating system should be running, but no other
applications.
Standard Installation
Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and follow the
instructions that appear on your screen.
If no instructions appear on your screen, run the setup.exe
program on the CD-ROM.
Manual Installation
If you cannot or prefer not to use the standard installation
process, you can install the driver from the CD-ROM by following
these steps:
1. If the output you send to the printer will go directly to the
printer by network without being stored on another computer, you
must create a network port before installing the driver (consult
your network documentation or network administrator).
2. Click Start, Settings, and then Printers to open the Printers
dialog box.
3. Double-click the Add Printer icon to open the Add Printer
Wizard dialog box. (We recommend that you do not use the New
Driver button in the Printer Properties dialog box to install or
upgrade this driver.)
4. Follow the steps displayed on your screen. Below are some
questions that you may be requested to answer, depending on your
system configuration.
"How is this printer attached to your computer?"
Select:
* "Local printer" if the output you send to the printer will go
directly to the printer by cable or network without being stored
on another computer.
* "Network printer" if you will send output to the printer via
another computer. In this case, all settings for the printer are
managed by a printer server that has been set up by an
administrator.
Click Have Disk...
In the Install From Disk dialog box, enter the location of the
driver on the CD-ROM (the same folder as this ReadMe file) and
click OK. Select your HP Designjet printer from the list and click
Next.
"Would you like to keep the existing driver or use the new one?"
Select "Replace existing driver".
If you are installing files for a new version and you see this
question, we recommend replacing the existing driver.
"Do you print from MS-DOS-based programs?"
We recommend that you select No. Select Yes only in the case where
you have an MS-DOS driver that can print to a HP Designjet series
printer.
