HP LaserJet 9000 Series - Software Technical Reference

Software Technical Reference for the HP LaserJet 9000 printers

The Driver extensions text box provides you with some visibility of any extended driver

functionality. It can contain a brief description of the driver extension and a version number.

Configure tab features

The Configure tab lets you tell the driver about the hardware configuration of the printer. If

bidirectional communication is enabled in a supported environment, set up this tab by clicking the

Update Now button. If your environment does not support bidirectional communication, the

Update Now button will be unavailable, so you must manually configure the options on this tab.

The Configure tab is in the front when the driver is opened from the Printers folder by clicking

Properties. When you open the driver from within a program, the Configure tab will not be

visible, with a few exceptions, such as when using Excel 5.0 or Corel Chart 4.0. When opened

from the Printers folder, the Configure tab looks like the following illustration.

Paper handling options

The Paper Handling Options group box provides options for configuring the majority of paper-

handling device features.

Duplexing unit

Select this option if a duplexing unit is installed in the printer. When it is selected, additional

controls appear in the Document Options group box in the Finishing tab. Unlike most options in

this group box, the Duplexing Unit option does not affect the printer image because the

duplexing unit is contained within the printer. To print on both sides, click Print from the

application, click the Properties button, click the Finishing tab, and then click Print on Both

Sides.

Mopier enabled

A mopier is a printer designed by HP to produce multiple, collated copies from a single print job.

All documents can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the desktop, eliminating

the extra step of going to a photocopier. The HP LaserJet 9000 printers support the Transmit

Once mopying feature, and the Mopier Enabled option is selected by default.
