ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. HP LaserJet and HP LaserJet-Compatible Printers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The LASERJET.DRV supports HP LaserJet** printers using Printer Control Language
(PCL), and three device font types:

 o Your printer is shipped with one or more internal fonts, which are fonts
   permanently stored in its memory.  When you indicate printer model during
   installation, you automatically set up these fonts.
 o You can purchase cartridge fonts, (fonts that have additional character
   shapes, alphabets, or graphic character sets) in a package that fits into a
   slot on your printer.  The cartridge provides additional memory to the
   printer, with the font shapes already loaded.
 o Some cartridges include extended fonts, that enable you to print characters
   (for example, bar codes) that are not included in the character sets
   supplied with your operating system.
 o Soft fonts are optional fonts shipped as files.  Some fonts have
   predetermined sizes, and some can be scaled to size from within a program.
   At the time of printing, the fonts selected for a print job are downloaded,
   or copied, to the memory of your printer.  The capacity of printer memory
   determines the number of different fonts you can select for downloading with
   a particular print job.

 To take advantage of fonts:

  1. The device drivers that come with your OS/2* system contain a list of
     cartridge names catalogued by the printer manufacturer.  If you have a
     cartridge, and want to install its fonts, display the Printer Properties
     window for the driver, then select Fonts.  Installing entails adding font
     names to the list of Installed fonts in the Font Installer window.  If you
     purchase fonts separately, the font manufacturer might supply a separate
     installation program that you must run before you can add fonts in the
     Font Installer window.
  2. Exiting the Font Installer window re-displays the Printer Properties
     window.  In the Printer Properties window, you mark as active, any
     cartridge loaded into a printer slot.  Your printer might have one or more
     cartridge slots.
  3. Select the fonts for a particular job from within your program.  You can
     mix internal, cartridge, and downloadable fonts in any print job.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Installing Hewlett-Packard AutoFont Support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The AutoFont support files provided with Hewlett-Packard** typeface diskettes
and cartridges contain information needed to install the typefaces.

  1. Using DOS, run the AutoFont Support Installation program (or the Type
     Director 2.0 program).  Make note of the directory into which the program
     installs its diskette files.
  2. Display the Printer Properties window for the driver; then select Fonts.
  3. In the New font directory field, type the name of the directory containing
     the AutoFont Support files.

 For more information on typefaces and AutoFont support files, consult the
 Hewlett-Packard documentation.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Font Symbol Sets ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 bottom of the window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Help for Active Cartridges ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This list contains the names of installed cartridge fonts. Select from the list
any cartridges currently inserted in the printer.  Because some laser printers
have more than one cartridge slot, Max. = indicates the total number of
cartridges you can select.  If you attempt to select more than that maximum,
the next cartridge name you select replaces the first one selected, and you
hear a warning tone.

If you have a cartridge that is not listed, select the Fonts push button; a
window appears that enables you to add your cartridge to the list.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Help for Memory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Enter the total amount of memory installed in your printer. The printer Self
Test page indicates the amount of memory installed. Choose a memory amount in
kilobytes.

Total memory includes standard memory plus the memory on expansion cards, if
any.  If you are unsure about this value, run the printer Self Test to display
the amount of installed memory.

Setting the correct memory value ensures optimum performance from the printer
and the driver.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. Help for Page Protection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This list contains the possible types of Page Protection for this printer.

Select the level of page protection (OFF, LTR, A4, or LGL) that you set on your
printer.  The current value for page protection appears on the Self Test page
of the printer.

Use the printer front control panel to change the value for page protection,
then update this dialog with the new value.

For LaserJet III printers, two MB of printer memory is necessary to set page
protection to LTR or A4. Three MB of memory is necessary for LGL.

For LaserJet 4 printers, six MB of printer memory is necessary to set page
protection to LTR, A4, or LGL when printing at at 600 DPI.

Note:   On Laserjet 4 printers with two MB of memory, page protection settings
of LTR, A4 or LGL will cause the printer to automatically change its resolution
to 300 DPI.  This can cause incorrect output.  If this happens, turn page
protect OFF on the printer control panel or add more memory to the printer.

The default setting on the printer is page protection OFF.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. Help for PostScript Cartridge Plus ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The PostScript Cartridge Plus option enables a printer to accept a PostScript
data stream.  If this option is installed in your printer, enable this checkbox
to send the correct initialization strings to the printer for the PCL language.
To print in PostScript mode, the OS/2 PostScript driver must be installed and
selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 28. Help for Defaults ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Defaults for an opportunity to specify number of copies, orientation,
resolution, choice of form, paper feed, duplex printing, and fast (downloaded)
system fonts.  These default choices are used if you do not specify these types
of job properties for a particular print job or for the queue to which you
submit that job.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 29. Help for Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Fonts for access to the Font Installer window.  You can then view a list
of currently installed soft fonts and cartridge fonts, or you can add fonts to
those listed as installed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 30. Help for Forms ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Forms to add forms to those listed for each paper tray.  Add a form if
the defined forms do not include a paper size that matches the paper loaded in
your printer.  You can also add a form to assign a unique name to a preprinted
form, even if it conforms to a size already defined.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 31. Help for Environment Savings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Environment Savings items are enabled when the Postscript language option
is installed and there is sufficient memory to support it.

If you change the values of Environment Savings for PCL and/or Postscript on
the front panel of the printer, then update this dialog to reflect those
changes.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 32. Help for LaserJet Job Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Job Properties to request multiple copies, specify orientation, resolution,
and elect to download system fonts.  You can select a tray-loaded form or
indicate that you will feed forms by hand, and specify output bin if your
printer has more than one place for holding printed pages.  You also can select
dual-sided printing for printer models offering this feature.

Some programs provide access to this window, enabling you to assign these job
properties for a specific document or template.  When setting up a queue, you
select job property defaults that take effect if the program does not override
them.

For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below:

 o Copies
 o Orientation
 o Resolution
 o Fast system fonts
 o Printer patterns
 o HP-GL/2
 o Large buffers
 o Form
 o First page
 o Remaining pages
 o RET
 o Economode
 o ImageAdapt
 o Paper feed.
 o 1 or 2 sided printing
 o Output bin
 o Effects
 o OK


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 33. Help for Copies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In this field, type the number of copies of each page you want printed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 34. Help for Orientation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Portrait (upright) to print the top of the printed material in the same
direction as the top of the paper.  Letters, books, and reports usually have
portrait orientation.

Select Landscape (rotated) to print perpendicular to the direction in which the
paper is fed.  Landscape is frequently selected for documents such as
spreadsheets or plotted graphics, which are wider than they are long.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 35. Help for Resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select the number, in dots-per-inch (dpi) increments, that represents the
resolution in which you want graphics produced on your printer.  Laser printers
process device fonts in the highest available resolution, and can mix high
resolution text with lower resolution graphics.

Select the highest number for the best quality.  Because printing in high
resolution takes longer, you can reserve this setting for final documents.
Select a low number to print faster; for example, to produce drafts of
documents.

Note:   Your printer must have enough memory to hold the dots composing a print
job.  For laser printers with less than one megabyte of memory, select 75 or
150 dpi to print a full-page graphic, a dense graphic, or a full-page
spreadsheet that has horizontal and vertical lines mixed with text.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 36. Help for Fast System Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select this check box to enable downloading of OS/2* system fonts.  System
fonts will be copied to the printer memory which allows your job to print
faster and requires a smaller spool file than one that has the document in
graphic font form.  This feature should not be used when overlaying system
fonts with graphics as text may not always appear.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 37. Help for Printer Patterns ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select this check box to enable internal printer patterns to be substituted for
system patterns in filled graphic paths.  Using printer patterns allows jobs
containing shaded and patterned rectangular areas to print substantially faster
and and require smaller spool files.  This feature should not be used if
printer output patterns should exactly match patterns displayed on your screen,
nor if there are overlapping shaded or patterned graphics in your document.

Printer resolution of 300 or higher is recommended when Printer patterns are
enabled to ensure the best output.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 38. Help for HP-GL/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select this check box to enable HP-GL/2 output. HP-GL/2 is the Hewlett-Packard
Graphical Language used on plotters. This feature will allow faster printing of
graphic objects as lines and circles.

When printing very complex HP-GL/2 images, HP printers might report error 21,
print overrun, on the front panel of the printer. If this happens, turn off the
HP-GL/2 option in the Device Properties, or enable page protection at the
printer front control panel and Printer Properties dialog, or add additional
memory to the printer.

Printer memory, page complexity and page protection interact with varying
output speed and quality.  For fastest output, enable page protection (which
may require additional memory) on both the printer and Printer Properties
dialog and use HP-GL/2.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 39. Help for RET ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

RET stands for Resolution Enhancement Technology.  This is a feature found in
certain Hewlett-Packard printers including Series III and Series 4 printers.
With Series III printers, RET is set using the control panel on the printer.
With Series 4 printers, RET is set by using the printer control panel or
through software by using settings on this dialog.

Resolution Enhancement Technology refines the print quality of characters and
graphics by "smoothing" the fine gradations along the angles and curves of the
printed image.

RET has five possible settings:

 Default   Use the RET setting currently set in the printer.

 Off       Turn off RET completely.

 Light, Medium, and Dark These settings vary the effect of RET. See next
           paragraph.

 The factory default setting is medium. You may discover that a different

 Test print out).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 40. Help for ECONOMODE ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

EconoMode printing reduces the number of pixels or "dots of toner" placed on
the page. By using EconoMode for your proofs and rough drafts, you can lower
your cost-per-page by 50%. The print is still very readable.

ECONOMODE has 2 possible settings, ON and OFF. The factory default setting is
OFF.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 41. Help for IMAGEADAPT ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Image Adapt is a Hewlett-Packard innovation that compresses data so that you
can print complex graphics using the printer's base memory.

ImageAdapt has 3 possible settings:

 ON        Lossy compression will be used on any images that need to have
           compression performed.

 OFF       No use of the Lossy compression.

 AUTO      The possible use of Lossy compression (as worst case).

 The factory default setting is AUTO.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 42. Help for Large buffers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

For computers with at least eight MB of memory, printing speed will increase by
using large buffers.

list to see more form names.  Select the form on which all pages after the
first page of your job should print.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 45. Help for Form ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use this field to select a particular form for a print job.  Selecting the
arrow displays a list containing the names of all forms defined for the
printer.  Select the form of your choice.

Because you associate form names with a specific tray (in the Printer
Properties window), selecting a form from this window causes the printer to
feed paper from the appropriate tray, if loaded, or wait for the correct tray,
if not loaded.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 46. Help for Paper Feed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select one of the radio buttons to indicate the source for the paper form.  The
preselected choice, Automatic, means paper feeds from a tray without human
intervention.  Select Manual to have the printer wait for you to manually feed
odd size forms, transparencies, or other media that should not feed from paper
trays.  If you select Manual, you are prompted to insert the paper before the
printer processes each page of a job.  Select Automatic mixed to use one form
for the first page of your document, and a different form for subsequent pages.

The type of form for Automatic or Manual paper feed is selected in the Form
list.  Selecting Automatic mixed causes two lists to appear.  One form is
selected in the First page list and a different form in the Remaining pages
list.  For a detailed explanation of each list, select from the list below:

 o Form
 o First page

Select one of the radio buttons to indicate whether you prefer the form size
displayed in inches or centimeters.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 52. Help for Custom paper size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Custom paper size allows a form to be printed on something other than the
standard pre-defined paper sizes.

The width and length fields have minimum and maximum limits determined by the
capability of the specified printer.

Note:   The minimum values for width and length fields are defaulted, whenever
the units change. Also, the width and length fields must be selected or the
fields default to the minimum values.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Density or sharpness of an image.  For bit-map material, resolution is
expressed in dots-per-inch, with higher quality output having more dots-per-
inch.  Resolution can be adjusted for some printers.  Low-resolution images are
printed faster, but appear coarser than high-resolution images.  A printer's
memory size can limit the resolution you can choose.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spooling ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available
printer or port at a print-destination.  Spooling jobs frees system resources
from waiting for a relatively slow device to provide output, and keeps the
contents of each print job separated from the contents of every other print
job.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> radio button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A circle with text beside it.  Radio buttons are combined to show you a fixed
set of choices from which only one can be selected.  The circle is partially
filled when a choice is selected.  Contrast with check box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> downloaded font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A soft font copied (downloaded) to the memory of a printer.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> soft font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Optional fonts shipped as files.  Soft fonts must be installed onto the hard
disk before they can be selected from programs.  See also downloaded font.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> default ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A value, attribute, or option that is assumed when another is not explicitly
specified.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> file name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A name assigned or declared for a file.  The file name includes an extension
(if there is one). If you are using HPFS, the file name can be up to 254
characters and can include any number of periods.  The following is an example
of a path and file name in the HPFS file system where C: is the drive, the
first \ is the root, INCOME is the directory, and SALES.FIGURES.FOR.SEPTEMBER
is the file name:    C:\INCOME\SALES.FIGURES.FOR.SEPTEMBER

If you are using the FAT file system, the file name can be up to eight
characters and can be followed by an optional three-character extension.  The
following is an example of a path and file name in the FAT file system where C:
is the drive, the first \ is the root, INCOME is the directory, TAX is a
subdirectory, and SALES.TXT is the file name and extension:
C:\INCOME\TAX\SALES.TXT


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> queue ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A list of jobs waiting to print or plot at a particular print destination.  See
also spooling and spooler


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 53. Help for Device Defaults ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Device defaults to request multiple copies, specify orientation,
resolution, performance options, and elect to download system fonts.  You can
select a tray-loaded form or indicate that you will feed forms by hand, and
specify output bin if your printer has more than one place for holding printed
pages.  You also can select dual-sided printing for printer models offering
this feature.

Some programs display a similar window, enabling you to assign these types of
properties for a specific document or template.  You can also set up default
job properties for a particular print queue.  When setting up a printer driver,
you select device defaults that take effect if neither the queue nor the
program supplies job properties.
