PCL 6 and PCL 5e driver features

This section describes the options available on each tab of the HP LaserJet 9000 PCL 6 and PCL 5e

driver interfaces.

NOTE: The Windows 3.1x Print dialog does not offer a Properties button to

open the HP LaserJet 9000 printer driver settings dialog boxes. Use the

Print Setup command in the File menu to gain access to the settings

dialog boxes, and then click Print.

Help system

The HP LaserJet 9000 PCL 6 and PCL 5e drivers include a full-featured Help system to provide

assistance with printing and configuration options.

What’s this? Help

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 "What’s this?

Help" is supported. To use "What's this? Help":

• Right-click a control and click What’s this? to display a pop-up Help window.

• Click the ? button located on the top-right corner of the frame next to the X to change the

cursor to an arrow with a question mark. Selecting a control with this special cursor displays

the pop-up Help window for that feature.

• Press the F1 key to display the Help window for the control that currently has focus.

Page-sensitive Help

Press the Help button on a driver tab or dialog box to display context-sensitive Help.

Constraint messages

Constraint messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific actions you

take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the capabilities

of the printer or the current settings of other controls. For example, if you click Print on Both

Sides and then change the paper type to transparencies, a message appears asking you to

resolve this conflict.

Figure 17: A typical constraint message with an OK button

Whenever a constraint message appears with an OK and a Cancel button, the interpretation of

the buttons is as follows:

• Clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting

control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.

• Clicking Cancel rejects the change that was just made, setting the control back to its

previous value.
