######## HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
Each HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need to enable them manually.
For more information, go to www.hp.com/go/upd. When you download and install a UPD from the product support Web page, www.hp.com/go/ ljp1600series, there will be some variations in the installation process and results depending on the driver that you select.
From the support page, click on the Download Drivers and Software link. After you select the printer model and operating system, there will be several selections on the download page. You can download drivers from the “Driver” section and from the “Driver - Universal Print Driver” section.
Drivers downloaded from the “Driver” section are wrapped with the HP DIU (Driver Installation Utility) and produce a “named” driver when installed. A named driver has the printer model number in the driver print queue name. These drivers always install in Traditional mode.
Drivers downloaded from the “Driver-Universal Print Driver” section includes the UPD installer. For these drivers, the driver print queue shows a non-product-specific name. When installing these drivers, you have a choice between Traditional or Dynamic mode as described below.
######### UPD installation modes
########### Table 1-5 UPD installation modes
Traditional mode ● Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.
Dynamic mode ● Use this mode if you are installing the driver for a mobile computer, so you can discover and print to HP products in any location.

4 HP Host-based print driver for Windows
#### Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series Printer Host-based Print Driver for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
You can control print jobs from several places:
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print-driver settings.
When you install the printing-system software in Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7, the HP Hostbased Print Driver is the recommended driver and installs by default from HP Smart Install. The HP PCL 5e Universal Print Driver (P1606dn model only) and HP XPS driver can be installed by download from hp.com.
Topics:
ENWW Introduction 199
#### Gain access to print drivers
Depending on the operating system on which you are installing the print drivers, you can gain access to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces in several ways.
To gain access to the print-driver settings from within most software programs, follow these steps:
The appearance and names of the driver tabs can vary, depending on the operating system. These driver settings apply only while that software program is open.
You can control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. Here you have access to two sets of driver tabs: the Printing Preferences tabs and the Properties tabs. The settings that you make on the Printing Preferences driver tabs control the driver default settings for each user's profile. Installable options can be configured in the Properties driver tabs.
##### Printing Preferences driver tabs
The Printing Preferences driver tabs change the default settings that are used across all software programs. To gain access to these tabs, follow these steps:
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: Click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.
Windows Server 2008: Click Start, click Control Panel, and then open the Printers folder. Windows 7: Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Devices and Printers.
##### Properties driver tabs
This set of tabs controls the driver behavior and driver connections. To gain access to the Properties tabs, follow these steps:
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: Click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.
Windows Server 2008: Click Start, click Control Panel, and then open the Printers folder. Windows 7: Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Devices and Printers.
ENWW Gain access to print drivers 201
#### Help system
The HP Host-based print driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
##### “What's this?” Help
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 support What's this? Help. You can gain access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
##### Incompatible Print Settings messages
Incompatible Print Settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the product capabilities or the current settings of other controls.
| | |---|
NOTE: Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept some settings that are illogical or impossible for the product to perform. Sending a job with incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check the product documentation for the product capabilities.
In supported Windows operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations result in warning messages. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency paper type is selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print Settings message.
######### Figure 4-1 An Incompatible Print Settings message
To resolve the conflicting settings, click Restore my previous settings. and then click OK. The driver resets the conflicting control back to its previous state.
If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click Keep this setting, and I will change it later. and then click OK.
| |
|---|
NOTE: In this example, the conflict can be resolved manually. If the conflict is not resolved when the driver is closed, then the same message appears again when a print job is sent to the product.
#### Advanced tab features
| | |---|
NOTE: The Advanced tab is in the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to gain access to these tabs, see Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 200.
Use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special controls that are not commonly used, as well as to control features such as paper size and copies in the driver (although most current software programs support these features in the Print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the Advanced tab.
Figure 4-2 The default appearance of the Advanced tab
The Advanced tab contains the following controls:
Print Tasks Quick Sets The Print Tasks Quick Sets drop-down list appears on all tabs except the Services tab. Print Tasks Quick Sets allow separate groups of print settings to be saved under specified names for reuse.
######### Follow these steps to create a Print Task Quick Set.
######### Follow these steps to use a Print Tasks Quick Set.
##### Copies
The Copies control contains the Copies setting. Copies
Copies: Specifies the number of copies to print. This driver setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copies setting is available in the software program, set the copy count in the software program.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies option. You can select the number by typing in the text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the text box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the text box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, whenever possible.
##### Printer Features
The Printer Features control contains a checkbox for activating the Print All Text as Black feature.
##### 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 following Printing Preferences driver tabs:
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.
Paper/Quality tab features NOTE: The Paper/Quality tab is in the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to gain access to these tabs, see Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 200. Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify paper size, type, and source. You can also use this tab to specify different paper selections for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, and back cover of the document. The following figure shows the Paper/Quality tab. Figure 4-3 Paper/Quality tab
| | |---|
The Paper/Quality tab contains the following control sets:
Print Tasks Quick Sets The Print Tasks Quick Sets drop-down list appears on all tabs except the Services tab. Print Tasks Quick Sets allow separate groups of print settings to be saved under specified names for reuse.
######### Follow these steps to create a Print Task Quick Set.
##### Paper Options
The settings in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following figure shows the Paper Options group box and the selections that are available by default.
######### Figure 4-4 Paper Options group box
The settings in the Paper Options group box are described in the following order:
######## Size is
The Size is: drop-down menu lists all of the supported paper sizes. Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set the paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different paper sizes.
| | |---|
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes within a single document. For information about paper sizes, see Engineering Details on page 247.
| | |---|
NOTE: Several paper sizes are listed in the paper size drop-down menu that are physically too large for the product, such as 16k. These sizes are included for scaling purposes– the product scales down the printed output from a larger original size used by a software program.
######## Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab. The following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Figure 4-5 Custom Paper Size dialog box
Name
Use the Name text box to type a name for a new custom paper size or to rename an existing paper size. The text that appears in the Name text box is one of the following::
If you type a new name into the Name text box but then do not click Save, you can change the Width: and Length: values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking Save, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.
######### Size
The Width: and Length: values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes. Any entry that is too large is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is too small is rounded up to the minimum valid entry.
If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and length entries are validated when the focus changes.
The resolution of each control is 1/100 of a millimeter or 1/100 of an inch, depending on the current measurement units.
######### Units
To change measurement units, click the button which displays either Use Inches or Use Millimeters.
######### Custom width and height control limits
The minimum paper size for this product is 98.4 x 148.0 mm (3.87 x 5.83 in) and the maximum is 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14.0 inches). The following table summarizes paper size limits for each paperhandling device.

######### HP LaserJet Professional P1100 Series Printer printer series
######### HP LaserJet Professional P1560 Series Printer and HP LaserJet Professional P1600 Series Printer printer series
######## EconoMode check box
Click the EconoMode check box to allow the product to use less toner on each page. This extends the life of your print cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it reduces print quality. This option might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed. HP print cartridges are able to measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as the toner. When Economode is used frequently, the mechanical parts might wear out before the toner does. This might result in toner spillage, which could damage the product. Using genuine HP print cartridges avoids this problem.
Effects tab features NOTE: The Effects tab is in the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to gain access to these tabs, see Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 200.

######### Follow these steps to create a Print Task Quick Set.
##### Resizing Options
The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls:
Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size. Print document on
Click the Print Document On: 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: control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
When Print Document On: is selected, the drop-down menu shows the paper sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports and any custom sizes that you have created. When Print document on: is selected, Scale to fit is automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected paper.
######## Scale to fit
The Scale To Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size. By default, Scale To Fit is selected when Print document on: is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document
image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following figure shows the effect that Scale To Fit has on a document formatted for Legal-size paper but printed on Letter.
Figure 4-7 Preview images – Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target paper size.
######## % of normal size
The % of Normal Size: option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting is 100%. Actual size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or the size that the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the product.
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. The value in the edit box changes as the slider bar is dragged, and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the arrows increases or decreases the scale by 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%.
To achieve an exact scaling value, either use the slider bar to approximate the value that you want and then use the arrows to refine the value, or type the value into the edit box.
The following settings disable % of Normal Size:
##### 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 following Printing Preferences driver tabs:
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.
##### Watermarks
Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create a new watermark (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver:
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus (none) which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark that is selected from this list appears in the preview image.
When the First page only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First page only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is (none).
Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per sheet: is set to 4 and First page only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page).
######## Watermark Details Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears. Figure 4-8 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.

If you make changes to a watermark and then select a different watermark or click New, all of the changes are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled.
######### Current Watermarks
The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks that are available in the driver and any new watermarks that you have created.
To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as "Untitled" until you type a new name in the Watermark Message edit box. The new name then appears in the Current Watermarks group box, in the Watermark Details dialog box, and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab.
To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete. At the warning that appears, click Cancel to keep the watermark, or click OK to delete it.
| | |---|
NOTE: When you reach the limit of 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time, the New button is disabled.
To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.
######### Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you can have several different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number 2 is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).
######### Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations on the page. All settings center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. The following settings are available:
######### Font Attributes
Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style of the font.
The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls:
######### ● Name
