Lockable features
The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings:
●
Print on Both Sides (duplex): The options are True or False.
●
Print in Grayscale: The options are Disable or Enabled.
●
Media Type: The options include all the media types that the HP LaserJet M9040 MFP and
HP LaserJet M9050 MFP support.
●
Paper Source: The options are Printer Auto Select, Manual Feed (Tray 1), Tray 1, Tray 2, Tray
3, or Tray 4.
When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users.
Generally, the feature is unavailable in the driver UI after it has been locked.

Continuous export
The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the driver to copy the latest driver settings back to
the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be transferred
when a compatible version of the driver is used to upgrade the printer driver. For instance, if the
orientation is set to Landscape in a driver that was originally installed in Windows 2000, then the
orientation setting automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista. The continuous-export feature functions
transparently from the user's perspective and works only between drivers of identical product models.
NOTE: Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the exportable components are
always the same as the components that can be preconfigured.
