Using your Printer Software
Introduction
This chapter will familiarize you with the printer software. It is divided
into two categories:
•• Software instructions for Windows users.
•• Software instructions for DOS users.
Software Instructions for Windows Users
Make sure that the “HP LaserJet 5L Printing Software for Windows”
software has been installed (see Chapter 1). This includes a Windows
printer driver and Status Window.
Printer Settings
Most Windows software applications allow you to make changes to the
printer settings. This includes settings that determine how a print job
looks, such as page size, paper orientation, and margins. Settings
changed in the software application will usually override settings made
in the printer driver.
The printer driver includes many of the settings mentioned above (in
case your software application does not include them). It also includes
all settings that determine how your printer will operate, such as printer
memory settings, resolution, density, and draft printing. The printer
driver can be accessed in your software application through the
Print Setup or Print commands.
