FEATURES of the HP LASERJET 4 FAMILY PRINTER DRIVER
*****************************************************************
The Hewlett-Packard LASERJET 4 HPPCL5E PRINTER DRIVER version
31.V1.27 includes support for the HP LaserJet 4/4M, 4L, 4ML,
4P/4MP, & 4Si/4Si MX printers and the following features:
Support for Graphics Quality.
For the LaserJet 4/4M, 4Si/4Si MX, and 4P/4MP at 600 dpi mode
the driver supports 600, 300, and 150 dpi. For the LaserJet
4/4M, 4L, 4ML, 4Si/4Si MX, and 4P/4MP, at 300 dpi mode the
driver supports 300, 150, and 75 dpi. The actual graphics
resolution settings are denoted by the descriptive terms of
High, Medium, and Low rather than the actual dpi.
Support for the internal Intellifont typefaces.
All the internal Intellifont typefaces in the HP LaserJet
4/4M, 4L, 4ML, 4Si/4Si MX, 4P/4MP printers are supported in
the 19U symbol set.
Support for HP-GL/2
Support for HP-GL/2 is in the HPPCL5E PRINTER DRIVER. Under
the Options Dialog in the Printer Setup, an option of
"Graphics Mode" is available. Two options are present:
HP-GL/2 or Raster. The first choice enables both HP-GL/2 and
raster printing which optimizes print performance. The second
choice uses raster only. The default graphics mode is set to
raster for the HP LaserJet 4L. The default mode is set to
HP-GL/2 for the HP LaserJet 4/4M, 4ML, 4Si/4Si MX, and 4P/MP.
Default settings for "Graphics Mode" optimize print speed for
the given printer.
If you encounter print difficulties in HP-GL/2 Graphics Mode,
it is recommended that you change the mode to Raster and try
your print job again. Additional information on this topic
may be found in the help files that accompany this driver.
Choose Help from the driver dialog screens or the HP font
installer screens to access the HELP information.
Support for EconoMode
(Supported by the LaserJet 4L, 4ML, and 4P/4MP)
Support for EconoMode is in printer driver versions 31.V1.20
or later within the Options Dialog. There are two options
available, ON or OFF. With EconoMode enabled the output will
resemble draft mode, using fewer dots in order to conserve
toner.
Support for Print Density
(Supported by the LaserJet 4L, 4ML, and 4P/4MP)
Print density support is provided in the Options Dialog.
Adjust the density of the printer according to the desired
density. The density range is one (lightest) to five
(darkest).
Dialog Support for REt
Another feature added to the Option Dialog is the REt
(Resolution Enhancement technology) box.
The options here are:
- HP LaserJet 4L, 4ML, and 4P/4MP
Light, Medium, Dark, and OFF
- HP LaserJet 4/4M
Printer Default, Light, Medium, Dark, and Off
- HP LaserJet 4Si/4Si MX
Printer Default, ON, and OFF
Dialog Support for Resource Saving
(Supported only by LaserJet 4Si/4Si MX)
This feature, added to the main setup dialog box, allows the
user to tell the printer driver how much memory is set aside
for each printer personality (PCL and PostScript). This
memory is used for saving printer resources between printer
language switching. The range is 0KB to 99900KB.
Version Information Resources
This feature, in printer driver versions 31.V1.20 and later,
is added to the printer driver and its dynamic link
libraries. This helps to eliminate a possible mismatch of
driver and driver resource files when installing previous
drivers. If a potential mismatch is detected during driver
installation, a dialog box that contains a warning is
displayed.
Custom Media Size
Custom Media is also supported by this driver for the HP
LaserJet 4ML and 4P/4MP. The size of the custom media in most
cases must be set in both the application's page setup and
the driver setup. For more information about minimum and
maximum page size, see your users manual.
