4 Host-based driver for Windows Topics: ENWW ● Introduction to host-based printing ● Help system ● Access to the driver ● Driver tabs 73
Introduction to host-based printing The HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series printers are host-based devices. Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by rendering the print job on the host computer rather than on the device formatter.
Help system The HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series host-based drivers include a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options. The following Help options are available: ● What's this? Help ● Context-sensitive Help ● Paper Type Warning What's this? Help "What's this?" Help is available in all of the supported operating systems.
Access to the driver To gain access to driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then click Properties. The appearance and names of the driver tabs that appear can vary, depending on the operating system. These settings apply only while the software program is open. You can also control the driver directly from the Printers folder. These settings change the default settings for all software programs.
Document preview image The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the Paper/Quality, Effects, and Finishing tabs. Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image.
Driver tabs Topics: ● Printing Preferences tab set ● Properties tab set Printing Preferences tab set Topics: ● Advanced tab features ● Paper/Quality tab features ● Effects tab features ● Finishing tab features ● Services tab features Advanced tab features Use the Advanced tab to set the number of copies, collation, and print-job output options. The following illustration shows the Advanced tab.
Paper/Output The following settings are in the Paper/Output group box: ● Collate ● Copy Collate The Collate option becomes active if the Copy setting is greater than 1. Select Collate to collate multiple copy print jobs. Copy This setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available in the software program, set the copy count in the software program. Copy specifies the number of copies to print. The requested number of copies appears in the Copy option.
Paper/Quality tab features Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify the size, type, and source of the media for the HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series printers. You can also use this tab to indicate different paper-selection choices for the first page, other pages, and back cover of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper/ Quality tab.
Paper Options The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper Options group box and the selections available. Figure 4-4 Paper Options group box The following are settings in the Paper Options group box: ● Paper sizes: ● Paper source: ● Paper type: Paper sizes: The Paper sizes: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes.
Custom Paper Size Click the Custom button to open the Custom Paper Size dialog box. Figure 4-5 Custom Paper Size dialog box Use the Custom Paper Size dialog box to create or modify custom-paper-size information. The Custom Paper Size dialog box contains the following options: ● Name field. Click the text box to type a name for the custom paper size or click the drop-down menu to select a custom paper size that is already defined. ● Paper Size group box.
The default setting is Auto Select. When this is selected, the device uses the source tray that supports the selected media size. If you select a source tray other than Auto Select, make sure that the correct media size is loaded in the source tray. Paper type: The Paper type: drop-down menu shows all the paper types that the HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series printers support. The default setting is Plain Paper.
Use Different Papers/Covers The Use Different Paper/Covers option allows you to print books that include different media types. Use these options to include a blank or preprinted front cover or back cover on a document, or to select an alternative media tray or type for the first page, other pages, or last page of a document. The following illustration shows the appearance of the Paper Options group box when the Use Different Paper/ Covers check box is selected.
Print Quality The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down box and the EconoMode check box. The Print Quality drop-down box controls the resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is improved. However, higher resolution might also result in longer printing times.
Effects tab features Use the Effects tab to create unique media effects such as scaling and watermarks. The following illustration shows the Effects tab.
● % of Normal Size Actual Size Select this default option to print the page at normal size. Print Document On Select this option to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size. Print Document On is disabled by either of the following conditions: ● The % of Normal Size value is not 100. ● The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside the range are adjusted to those limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed or another control is selected). Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upperleft corner of the preview. The slider bar controls the scale directly.
● Font Attributes Figure 4-9 Watermark Details dialog box The dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating a new watermark and controlling the message angle and font attributes. Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box. Clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes.
