Driver configuration for Windows
The HP print drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in supported environments, provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for product accessories at the time of installation.
Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional paper trays, printer hard disk, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
Driver autoconfiguration
Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the following circumstances:
●
When a print driver is installed by using the installer
●
When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed
However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and Update Now are not available in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating systems over a direct connection (USB) when the product is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard.
Table 1-6 Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication
1
Connection type Add Printer Wizard install Common installer
Network Yes Yes
Direct connection No Yes
1
The table applies to Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Bidirectional communication
In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the computer and report information back, such as what type of print paper is available or what accessories are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer.
Enterprise AutoConfiguration
Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the printing-system software CD or the Add Printer Wizard to install the driver. Driver installation that includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the product. Configuration occurs without user interaction.
14 Chapter 1 Product basics and Windows software description ENWW
Page 31
If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional­communication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the print driver with the actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or whenever the Update Now feature is used.
If the product configuration changes after installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication by using the Update Now feature. For more information, see
Update Now on page 15.
Update Now
If you have modified the configuration of the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product since installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. Use the Update Now feature to automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver.
For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use the Update Now feature to query the product and update the settings to match the new product configuration.
The feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the Device Settings tab.
NOTE: Depending on which settings were updated, the Update Now feature might change the
configuration information that displays on the print-driver tabs, instead of (or in addition to) changing the information on the Device Settings tab.
NOTE: The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows XP clients
are connected to Windows XP hosts.
To activate the Update Now feature, follow these steps:
1. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, click the Start button, click the Control Panel item, click the
Hardware and Sound item, and then click the Printers item.
In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, click the Start button, click the Settings item, and then open the Printers and Faxes item.
2. Right-click the product name.
3. Click the Properties item, or the Printer Properties item in Windows 7 and Server 2008.
4. Click the Device Settings tab.
5. If necessary, click the Installable Options list to expand it and show the options.
6. In the Automatic Configuration drop-down menu, select the Update Now item.
7. Click the OK button to save the setting.

Driver configuration for Windows

HP Driver Configuration
HP Driver Configuration is a software architecture and set of tools that permits HP printing-system software to be customized and distributed in managed corporate printing environments. Using HP Driver Configuration, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise environments can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP print drivers before installing the drivers in the network environment.
HP Driver Configuration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple workstations or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be configured:
●
Product settings
●
Printing-preferences settings
The driver is configured to match the product hardware so that access to all of the product accessories through the driver is enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional input trays). Most driver-feature settings can also be configured.
HP Driver Configuration configures the driver to match the accessories that are installed on the product, or to match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration (.CFG) file (for example, optional trays, total amount of memory, job-storage settings, or mopier settings).
The configuration process consists of three basic steps:
●
Driver acquisition
●
Driver configuration
●
Driver installation and deployment
These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.
The driver configuration process is supported through three distinct tools. All three are designed with the same basic user-interface (UI) controls for interacting with the .CFG file, but are packaged differently, either to support established product installation workflows or to leave the deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user. The following tools support driver preconfiguration:
●
HP Driver Configuration Utility. The HP Driver Configuration Utility is a small, standalone, Windows-software program that the administrator can use to open the .CFG file that is associated with a particular driver and make modifications that are applied when that driver is installed on the target computer. It is intended for use in environments that have an established process for deploying drivers. This is the preconfiguration tool of choice to support any Novell or HP Print Server Appliance (PSA) and Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary Windows software program is used.
The HP Driver Configuration Utility is available at the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/dcu
◦
HP Driver Deployment Utility. The HP Driver Deployment Utility (HP DDU) was created to simplify the deployment of print drivers onto a client computer. It is a simple utility that packages the print-driver files, and the code needed to deploy them, into two files: an .EXE
16 Chapter 1 Product basics and Windows software description ENWW
Page 33
file and a .CAB file. These files are run on the client computer to copy the print-driver files to the Windows driver store and, for network packages, to install the product. This utility is supported on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista operating systems.
●
HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queue-creation program that can be used to create printer queues on Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration adds a number of screens to the existing queue-creation workflow from which the drivers that are being installed for the queues can be customized as part of the process. HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration is limited to Internet Explorer browsers. Netscape Navigator is not supported.
HP Web Jetadmin is supported by the following:
◦
Windows XP (Professional only)
◦
Windows Server 2003 (R2 only)
◦
Windows Server 2008
◦
Windows Vista (Business and Enterprise Editions)
◦
Windows 7
The HP Web Jetadmin print management features are supported by the following:
◦
Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2 or higher)
◦
Windows Server 2003
To gain access to the HP DDU, insert the software CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then navigate to the Driver Deployment Utility folder.
For detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools, see the HP Driver Configuration Support Guide at the following Web site and click on the Manuals link.

Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer PCL 6 Print Driver for, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
You can control print jobs from several places:
●
the product control panel
●
the software program print dialog box
●
the driver user interface
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. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.
When you install the printing-system software in Windows, the HP PCL 6 Print Driver is installed by default through the installer. The HP PS Universal Print Driver and the HP PCL 5 Universal Print Driver and the HP PCL 6 Universal Print Driver can be installed by downloading the software from the Web.

Help system
The HP PCL 6 Print Driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
HP Printer Help
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 support HP Printer Help . You can gain access to HP Printer Help messages in any of the following ways:
●
Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears.
●
Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key. The Help window for the currently selected control appears.
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 3-1 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 dialog appears again when a print job is sent to the product.

Advanced tab features
NOTE: The Advanced tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set.
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 collating 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 3-2 The default appearance of the Advanced tab
The Advanced tab contains the following controls:
●
Paper/Output
●
Graphic
●
Document Options
Paper/Output
The Paper/Output setting contains the Copy Count setting.
ENWW
Advanced tab features
55
Page 72
Copy Count
Copy Count specifies the number of copies to print. This driver 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.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count 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 9999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) 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.
When the Copy Count option is set to more than 1, the Collated check box becomes available. Select this check box when you want the product to collate (collect and combine in proper order) the printed copies. Most current software programs support the collating feature in the print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program.
Graphic
The Graphic setting contains the following control:
●
True Type Font settings
True Type Font
Use Substitute with Device Font (the default setting) to print documents that contain TrueType fonts by using equivalent printer based fonts. This permits faster printing; however, you might lose special characters that the equivalent printer based font does not support. Select Download as Softfont to download TrueType fonts for printing instead of using printer based fonts.
Document Options
The Document Options setting contains the following controls:
●
Advanced Printing Features
●
Print Optimizations
●
Printer Features
●
Layout Options
56 Chapter 3 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows ENWW
Page 73
Advanced Printing Features
When the Advanced Printing Features setting is Enabled, metafile spooling is turned on and Finishing tab options such as Page Order, Booklet Layout, and Pages per Sheet are
available, depending on your product.
Enhanced metafile spooling is used to greatly reduce the amount of time that elapses between a request to print (initiated by an application) and the return of control to the application by the operating system.
For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features setting at the default (Enabled). If compatibility problems occur, you can disable the feature. However, some advanced printing features might still appear in the print driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced printing feature in the print driver that has been disabled on the Advanced tab, the feature is automatically re-enabled.
Print Optimizations
The default setting for Print Optimizations is Enabled. When this feature is enabled and your document contains overlapping text and graphics, the text that is placed on top of a graphic might not print correctly. If the printed output is not correct, you can disable this feature. When this feature is disabled, print optimization-features, such as substituting device fonts for TrueType fonts and scanning for horizontal and vertical rules, are turned off.
Printer Features
The Printer Features setting contains the following controls:
●
Print All Text as Black
The feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text, which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text that is part of a graphic.
●
Send True Type as Bitmap
Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for software programs that have trouble
using TrueType fonts for special graphic aspects such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to bitmap soft fonts before downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.
●
Alternative Letterhead Mode
When selected, this option eliminates the need to flip or reload letterhead or preprinted paper in a tray, whether you are printing on one or both sides of the sheet. Load the paper as you would for printing on both sides. If the product tray has an icon that indicates whether to load paper either face-up or face-down, load the paper in opposite orientation of that shown.

When this option is selected, you must use one of the following options in the Paper type setting:
◦
Letterhead
◦
Preprinted
NOTE: Because Alternative Letterhead Mode is available only if the product is equipped
with an automatic duplexing unit, the the base model (HP Laserjet Enterprise 601n) does not support this option.
Layout Options
The Layout Options setting contains the Page Order setting.
Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back
prints the document so that page 1 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1 prints last.
NOTE: The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of paper rather than on individual logical
pages. Accordingly, if you set Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) to be greater than one, the ordering of logical pages on a physical sheet of paper does not change.

Paper sizes
The Paper sizes setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes.
When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.
Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set 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.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.

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 3-7 Custom Paper Size dialog box
NOTE: The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product supports
custom paper sizes from 3 inches in length and 5 inches in width up to 14 inches in length and 8.5 inches in width. The driver will be updated to enable printing to the maximum size.
Name
Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size. When you change the name to something other than Custom, the Save and OK buttons become active.
The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:
●
If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom paper size.
●
If a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the default name of Custom.
●
If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is saved or the dialog box is closed.
If you type a new name into the Name text box, but then do not click Save, you can change the width and height 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.

Paper size
The width and height values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes in the Paper Size group box.
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control 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 minimum value. Width and height entries are validated when the focus has changed.
The resolution of each control is 1 millimeter or 1/10 of an inch, depending on the current measurement units.

No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types through the driver. Use HP Web Jetadmin to add custom paper types. Custom types can be added only by using bidirectional communication, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then an updated list of paper types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are available through the driver.
NOTE: To download a current version of HP Web Jetamin and for the latest list of supported host
systems, go to the following Web site:

EconoMode check box
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner and decrease the cost per page. However, using EconoMode also can reduce print quality.
HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.

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.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●
The % of Actual Size value is not 100.
●
The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
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

Page 90
preview images for a document formatted for Legal-size paper with the Print Document On check box selected, and the target size specified as Letter.
Figure 3-11 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 Actual Size
The % of Actual Size option provides a slider bar and input box to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of actual size. Actual size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or what 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 indicator 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%.
You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the slider-bar indicator. Instead, either use the slider­bar indicator to approximate the value that you want and then use the arrows to refine the value, or type the value into the entry box.
The following settings disable % of Actual Size:

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:
●
(none)
●
[Username]
●
Confidential
●
Draft
●
SAMPLE
The Watermarks feature can be configured using the Driver Configuration Utility.
If the [Username] watermark is selected, the driver will use the network username of the logged in user for the watermark.
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system, plus the string "(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).

Page 93
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
might want 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 two 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:
●
Diagonal. This is the default setting. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.
●
Horizontal. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page.
●
Custom. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page. Use the numeric spin box to select the angle.
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:
●

Print on both sides automatically
The duplexing unit in the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on Both Sides option is specified in the print job. The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following models:
●
M601dn
●
HP LaserJet M602
●
HP LaserJet M603
These product models support smart duplexing. The smart duplexing feature increases printing performance by preventing one-page print jobs or single-sided pages of a duplexed print job from going through the duplexing unit even when the duplexing feature has been selected in the driver.
All paper types support the smart duplexing feature, except for paper types that cannot be printed on both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following paper types:
●
Prepunched
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
●
Cardstock
When the paper type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a paper type, you are, in effect, instructing the product to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the paper with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used with each paper type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.
Print on both sides manually
Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the paper for the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601dn, M602dn, M603dn, which does not have a duplexing unit installed. Also, select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product models for paper types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick paper.
Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6 driver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the product automatically prints on both sides of paper types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, and
8.5 x 11 only). For paper types that are not supported for automatic duplexing, a Help message appears prompting you to configure the driver settings for manual printing on both sides. Manual printing on both sides does not occur automatically.

Select the paper type that corresponds to the paper that you are using for the print job. The following paper types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side:
●
Plain
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
●
Prepunched
●
Bond
●
Recycled
●
Rough
NOTE: To make the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box available in the document
options, select the Allow Manual Duplexing option on the Device Settings tab in the print-driver Properties tab set. See
Installable Options on page 100.
If you want to print on both sides manually while using paper that is supported for automatic duplexing, you must select and apply the Not Installed setting on the Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) option on the Device Settings tab.
Cardstock paper can be manually printed on the second side, but no change occurs to the print mode. Transparencies and labels should never be manually printed on the second side.
To print a multiple-page document, follow these steps:
1. Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box.
2. Click OK. The even-number pages of the document print.
3. When the control panel shows the MANUALLY FEED message, insert the stack of paper (on
which the even-number pages have been printed) as indicated in the following figure.
Figure 3-14 Print on Both Sides Instructions dialog box
When you have completed the steps that appear in the dialog box, the second half of the print job prints on the back side of the stack of paper. The driver does not require the program to specifically support odd- and even-page printing, because the driver coordinates this function.

Flip Pages Up
Use the Flip Pages Up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip Pages Up check box is not available. It is available only when Print on Both Sides is selected. The
following table demonstrates the results of selecting this check box, depending on the paper orientation selected on the Finishing tab.
Table 3-4 Page orientation
Orientation (Finishing tab) Flip Pages Up selected Flip Pages Up not selected
Portrait Short-edge binding Long-edge binding
Landscape Long-edge binding Short-edge binding
When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar. Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.
Booklet Layout
The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the paper size that is set on the Paper/Quality tab:
●
Left Binding
●
Right Binding
When you select Left Binding or Right Binding, the document preview image changes to show the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically changes to 2 pages per sheet. If you change the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, the booklet setting is disabled. See
Pages per sheet on page 84 for more
information.
Book and Booklet Printing
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer supports book and booklet printing.
A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages. It can have a different paper type for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Covers and Print pages on different paper settings on the Paper/Quality tab to select different paper for the front cover, first page, other pages, and back cover. For more information, see
Paper/Quality tab features on page 61.
