Factors Affecting Printer Performance

Several factors affect the time it takes to print a job. Among these is printer speed, measured in pages per minute (ppm). Factors that affect printer speed include special media (such as transparencies, glossy media, and heavy media) and custom-size media.

The time required to download a print job from the computer to the printer also affects print speed. Among the factors that affect download time are:

●

complex or large graphics

●

color versus black and white

●

the printer’s I/O configuration (network versus parallel speed)

●

the speed of the computer you are using

●

the amount of printer memory installed

●

the network operating system and configuration (if applicable)

●

printer personality (PCL or PostScript Emulation)

Note Adding additional printer memory may resolve memory problems,

improve how the printer handles complex graphics, and improve download times, but will not increase printer speed.

18 The HP Color LaserJet 4500 Printer

Managing Memory

This printer supports up to 208 MB of memory. Y ou can add additional memory by installing Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). To allow for memory expansion, the printer has three available DIMM slots, which accept 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB of RAM each. For information on installing printer memory, see Appendix A.

The printer features Memory Enhancement Technology (MEt), which automatically compresses page data to provide the most efficient use of the printer’s RAM.

Note If memory problems occur when you are printing complex graphics, y ou

can make more memory available b y removing downloaded fonts, style sheets, and macros from printer memory . Reducing the complexity of a print job from within an application or printer driver can help in avoiding memory problems.

Effects of Printer Features

Certain printer features require printer memory. These features can be disabled to save printer memory resources. For information on disabling these resources, see the chapter on using the printer control panel.

Controlling Print Jobs

Three options are available for controlling print jobs:

●

Select printer settings through your software application or the printer driver (recommended method)

●

Select printer settings using the printer control panel

●

Enter printer commands directly into files

Select printer settings through your software application or the printer driver

The optimal way to control the printer is through your software application or the printer driver. Changing these settings affects only

your

print job. Most software applications allow y ou to choose printing selections from menus within the software application. These selections override the selections on the printer control panel.

Select printer settings using the printer control panel

You can also control the printer through the keys and menus of the printer control panel. Changing these settings affects all print jobs. If you are sharing the printer, coordinate control panel changes with other users. For more information, see the chapter on using the printer control panel.

Note Software application and printer driver settings override printer control

panel settings.

Enter printer commands directly into files

Some software applications allow you to enter printer commands (for example, escape sequences) directly into files. However, this method of controlling your printer requires that you learn printer PCL commands. For information on PCL printer commands, see Appendix C or the You can purchase the guide through HP Direct. (See Appendix D for ordering information.)

HP JetSend Communications

HP JetSend is a new technology from Hewlett-Packard that allows network devices to communicate directly with each other. Devices that feature the HP JetSend technology can exchange information directly with other devices that are connected via an intranet. Sending devices include JetSend-enabled scanners and PCs. Receiving devices include JetSend-enabled PCs.

HP JetSend technology enables flexible, direct communications between network devices. HP JetSend enables simple, targeted, information exchange that is independent of both servers and applications. This means that users can easily exchange information directly between intranet-connected devices like printers and scanners (and other devices in the future).

HP JetSend capabilities can be integrated into the Microsoft Windows environment. For example, using PCs that have been JetSendenabled by installing HP JetSend for Windows software, you can distribute information via an intranet to several users. Users can receive the document in their JetSend-enabled PC’s Inbox or print directly to their JetSend-enabled printer. In addition to sending and receiving documents, you can view documents in the HP JetSend Viewer. HP JetSend for Windows software can be installed through an installer on the compact disc.

Using the Printer Control Panel in Shared Environments

The printer control panel functions essentially the same in shared printer environments as it does when connected to a standalone computer. If problems occur, contact your network administrator.

Because your printer is shared with other users, adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure successful printer operation:

●

Consult your system administrator before making changes to control panel settings. Changing control panel settings could affect other print jobs.

●

Coordinate with other users before changing the default printer font and downloading soft fonts. Coordinating these operations conserves memory and avoids unexpected printer output.

●

Be aware that switching printer personalities, such as Emulated PostScript or PCL, affects the printed output of other users.

Note Your network operating system may automatically protect each user’ s

print job from the effects of other print jobs. Consult your system administrator for more information.

Selecting Print Media

You can use many types of paper and other print media with this printer. This section provides guidelines and specifications for selecting and using different print media.

Before purchasing any media or specialized forms in quantity, verify that your paper supplier obtains and understands the print media requirements specified in the

Guide

. The guide is available through HP Direct. See Appendix D for

ordering information. It is possible that media could meet all of the guidelines in this chapter

and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to abnormal characteristics of the printing environment or to other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control (for example, extremes in temperature and humidity).

Hewlett-Packar d recommends testing an y media before b uying it in large quantities.

CAUTION Using media that does not conform to the specifications listed here or

in the paper specification guide can cause problems that require service. This service is not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty or service agreements.

50 Common Printing Tasks

Media to Avoid

Use the following guidelines to avoid poor print quality or damage to your printer:

Do not use paper that is too rough.

●

Do not use paper that is embossed or coated unless it is

●

specifically recommended for use in this printer. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations other than standard

●

3-hole punched paper. Do not use multipart forms.

●

Do not use paper with irregularities such as tabs or staples.

●

Do not use letterhead paper with low temperature dyes or

●

thermography. Preprinted forms or letterhead must use inks that can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

Do not use any media that produces hazardous emissions, or

●

that melts, offsets, or discolors when exposed to 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

Do not use paper that has already been printed on or that has

●

been fed through a photocopier. Do not use paper with a watermark if you are printing solid

●

patterns.

Chapter 3 51

Printing on Special Media

Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.

Printing on Transparencies

When printing on transparencies, use the following guidelines:

CAUTION T o pre vent transparencies from bonding together , always send them to

the top output bin.

●

Handle transparencies using the edges. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.

CAUTION Use only overhead transparencies recommended f or use in this printer.

Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Color LaserJet Transparencies with this printer. HP products are designed to work together for optimum printing results.

Printing on Glossy Paper

When printing on glossy paper, select the glossy print setting in the printer driver. You can also use the printer control panel to set the media type to GLOSS for the input tray you are using. Because this affects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once your job has printed. See the section later in this chapter on configuring input trays.

Printing on Colored Paper

Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper. Pigments used must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 190° C (374° F) f or 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

The printer creates colors by printing patterns of dots, overlaying and varying their spacing to produce various colors. Varying the shade or color of your paper will affect the shades of your printed colors.

52 Common Printing Tasks

Printing Envelopes

Note Envelopes can only be printed from Tray 1. Hewlett-Packard

recommends configuring Tray 1 as a cassette and setting the tray’s media type to the specific envelope size. See the section later in this chapter on loading envelopes.

Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing of envelopes and help prevent printer jams:

Do not load more than 10 envelopes into Tray 1.

●

The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed

●

90 g/m

(24 lb). Envelopes should be flat. Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps. Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged. Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that

can withstand the heat and pressures of the printer’s fusing process.

Envelopes should be loaded with the flaps facing away from the

●

printer and toward the right side of the printer.

Printing on Labels

Note For printing labels, Hewlett-P ackard recommends configuring T ray 1 as

a cassette and setting the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel. See the section later in this chapter on configuring input trays.

When printing labels, use the following guidelines:

V erify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures

●

of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second. Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the

●

labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.

Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.

●

Verify that labels lie flat.

●

Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise

●

damaged.

Chapter 3 53

Heavy Paper

Use Tray 1 for paper that is heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb). For optimum results when printing on heavy paper, use the printer control panel to configure Tray 1 as a cassette and then set the media type for the tra y to HEA VY. Because this aff ects all print jobs, it is important to return the printer back to its original settings once your job has printed. See the section later in this chapter on configuring input trays.

CAUTION Do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification

recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.

Preprinted Forms and Letterhead

Observe the following guidelines f or best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:

●

Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of approximately 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.

●

Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

●

Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

●

Before you load preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.

Recycled Paper

This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Recycled paper must meet the same specifications as standard paper. (See the

HP LaserJet Family Paper Specification Guide

available through HP Direct. See Appendix D f or ordering inf ormation. Hewlett-Packard recommends that recycled paper contain no more than 5 percent ground wood.

54 Common Printing Tasks

.) The guide is

Controlling Print Jobs

Among the aspects of a print job that you can control are the tray from which the printer pulls media, the bin to which you send the job, and the configuration for type and size of media for each tray. You can control print jobs through the printer driver, your software application, or the printer control panel.

CAUTION To avoid affecting print jobs of other users, whenever possible, make

printer setup changes through your software application or the printer driver. Printer setup changes made through the control panel become default settings for subsequent jobs. Changes made through an application or printer driver affect only that specific job.

Selecting Output Bins

This printer has two media output bins. The position of the door to the rear output bin determines the bin used: If the door to the rear output bin is open, media is directed to that bin. If it is closed, media is directed to the top output bin. There are no driver or software options for selecting an output bin. Figure 3-1 illustrates the top and rear output bins.

The top output bin holds up to 250 sheets of standard paper in

●

correct order, facing down. When the bin is full, a sensor directs the printer to stop printing. Printing resumes when you remove paper from the bin.

The rear output bin holds up to 100 sheets of standard paper in

●

reverse order, facing up. When the door to the rear output bin is open, media is directed to this bin. When this door is closed, media is directed to the top output bin. Because there is no sensor at this output bin, you should monitor the bin and empty it when it is full.

Note If the rear output bin is open, duplex printing is not possible. Close the

rear output bin when duplex printing. When printing on transparencies, close the rear output bin. This causes

the transparencies to be sent to the top output bin and reduces the risk of jamming.

Selecting Media by Type

If you want to select media for your job by type of media rather than by the input tray (source), y ou must first configure a printer tra y f or the media type you are using, and then specify that media type in the printer driver.

Selecting media by type rather than source is similar to locking out trays and helps protect special media from accidental use. For example, if a tray is configured for letterhead, and you specify in your driver to print on plain paper, the printer will not pull the letterhead from that tray. Instead, it will pull from a tray that has plain paper loaded and that has been configured for plain paper on the printer control panel.

56 Common Printing Tasks

Configuring Input Trays

This printer allows you to configure input trays by type and size. This allows you to load different media types and siz es in the printer’ s input trays and then request media by type or size.

When the printer is used as a standalone printer, it might be

●

beneficial to configure the printer as TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST. In this mode, if media is loaded in Tray 1 and no other tray is specified, media will be pulled from Tray 1 regardless of the type or size of media loaded in the tray.

When the printer is used in a network environment, it might be

●

beneficial to configure Tray 1 as TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE. In this mode, the tray acts as a cassette-style tray and can then be configured for media type and size.

Note When Tray 1 is in FIRST mode, be sure that the media loaded meets

the specifications for duplex printing. (See the supported media weights and sizes section earlier in this chapter.)

Chapter 3 65

Printing from Tray 3 (500-Sheet Paper Feeder)

The printer supports an optional 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3). Tray 3 attaches to the bottom of the printer and serves as the printer’s base. When the optional duplex printing accessory is installed, the duplex unit must be positioned between the printer and the 500-sheet paper feeder. The printer’s internal sensors detect the presence or absence of Tray 3, and the printer control panel options automatically adjust to reflect the current configuration.

Figure 3-2 Tray 3 (optional 500-Sheet Paper Feeder)

The following are features of the 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3):

●

The tray has a capacity of 500 sheets of standard paper.

●

It is adjustable for specific media sizes, with corresponding stop positions.

●

The printer automatically detects media size based on Tray 3’s physical configuration and the position of the media-size knob located on the side of the tray.

●

A user-configurable software setting identifies the media type that the printer expects to be loaded in Tray 3.

●

An internal sensor automatically detects when Tray 3 is empty.

●

A paper level indicator is provided on the front face of the tray.

Note The paper path for the 500-sheet paper feeder passes through Tray 2.

If T ra y 2 is partially pulled out or removed, media from the paper feeder cannot feed into the printer. This causes the printer to go offline and generates a message that Tray 2 must be installed.

66 Common Printing Tasks

Loading Media into Tray 3

Tray 3 adjusts for Letter, Legal, A4, JIS B5, Custom (B5 ISO), and Executive paper. The printer automatically detects the media size in Tray 3 based on the tray’s physical configuration and the position of the media-size knob.

Chapter 3 69

Using the Duplex Printing Accessory for Two-Sided Printing

The optional duplex printing accessory (figure 3-3), enables you to print on both sides of a page. In two-sided printing, known as duplex printing or duplexing, the back side of the page is printed first. Then the page is sent through the duplex printing accessory, where it is flipped over and sent back through the printer for printing on the front.

Note Although the printer detects the presence of the duplex printing

accessory , to print on two sides of the page, you must still specify duplex options in your software application or in the printer driver.

Figure 3-3 Duplex Printing Accessory

70 Common Printing Tasks

To use the duplex printing accessory successfully:

Be sure that the duplex printing accessory is installed correctly. If

●

the 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3) is installed, the duplex unit must be positioned between the printer and Tray 3.

Verify that the printer driver is configured to recognize the duplex

●

printing accessory. (For instructions, see the online Help for the printer driver.)

Close the door to the rear output bin. The rear output bin is

●

located at the back of the printer. Select the appropriate duplex options in the printer driver

●

software. Duplex options include the page and binding orientation.

Duplex printing is not supported for certain media types, including

●

transparencies, labels, and cardstock.

Control Panel Settings for Duplex Printing

Many software applications allow you to change duplex printing settings. If your software application or printer driver does not allow you to adjust duplex printing settings, you can adjust these settings through the control panel.

CAUTION Do not open the door to the rear output bin during duplex printing. Doing

so can cause jams or misprints.

72 Common Printing Tasks

Special Printing Situations

Use these guidelines when printing on special types of media.

Printing a Different First Page

Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different media type than the rest of the document, One example is printing the first page of a letter on letterhead paper and the rest of the letter on plain paper.

1 From your application, specify a tr a y f or the first page (letterhead)

and another tray for the remaining pages.

2 Load the letterhead into the tray that you specified in step 1. 3 Load the paper for the remaining pages of the document into

another tray.

You can also print on a different first page by using the printer control panel to set the types of media that are loaded in the trays and then selecting the first and remaining pages by media type.

Printing on Custom-Size Media

The printer supports single-sided printing on custom-size media. Tray 1 supports media sizes from 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in), including B5 ISO. The only custom size supported by Trays 2 and 3 is B5 ISO.

When printing on custom-size media, if Tray 1 is configured in the printer control panel as TRA Y 1 MODE=CASSETTE, you must set the media size for Tray 1 to CUST OM in the printer control panel. If Tray 1 is configured as TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST, the printer will print on whatever media is loaded in the tray. When printing on custom size (B5 ISO) media from Trays 2 or 3, adjust the paper guides on the tray to the Custom (B5 ISO) marking.

Some software applications and printer drivers allow you to specify custom paper-size dimensions. Be sure to set the correct paper size in both the page setup and print dialog boxes.

If your software application requires you to calculate margins for custom-size paper, see the online Help for that application.

Chapter 3 73

Stopping a Print Request

You can stop a print request either from the printer control panel or from your software application. To stop a print request from a computer on a network, see the online Help for the specific network software.

Note It may take some time f or all printing to clear after a print job is canceled.

Using Color

Overview

The printer is designed to provide outstanding color output. This chapter provides information to help you obtain the best color quality from this printer. The chapter includes the following sections:

Customizing Color Output Through Printer Drivers

●

Matching Colors

●

Adjusting Color Balance

●

Chapter 4 75

Customizing Color Output Through Printer Drivers

The printer driver, which is installed with your printer software, enables your software applications to use the f eatures of the printer . It also gives you customized control of color text, graphics, and photos.

The method of accessing your printer driver depends on your computer’s operating system. For specific instructions on accessing printer drivers, see the printer driver’s Readme file, which is included on the printing system CD-ROM.

The following color control features are available only through your HP printer driver. See the printer driver’s online Help for details on color settings and their effect on printed output.

Halftone Options

Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can select halftone settings for text, graphics, and photos independently. The two halftone options are Smooth and Details.

The Smooth option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photos by smoothing out fine color gradations.

76 Using Color

The Detail option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, such as images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail.

HP ColorSmart II

HP ColorSmart II default settings will produce optimum results for most color printing needs. However, you can also manually adjust color settings through the printer driver’s Vivid Color and Screen Match color control options.

Vivid Color

Vivid Color produces colors that are very bright and vivid. When you use Vivid Color, your color output is brighter than the colors that appear on your screen.

Screen Match

Screen Match (sRGB) (standard red-green-blue) prints colors that are close to those you see on your screen. Screen Match can be useful for retouching photographs or when you have created colors on your screen that you wish to reproduce, such as special colors for a company logo.

Note Factors such as the type of monitor y ou use and the room’s lighting can

affect the appearance of colors on your screen.

Print in Grayscale

The Print in Grayscale option in the printer driver allows you to print documents using shades of gray in place of colors. This option is ideal for printing proofs of color documents, or for printing documents that will later be faxed or photocopied.

Chapter 4 77

Matching Colors

The process of matching printer output color to your monitor is quite complex because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.

Color-Matching Factors

Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor. These factors include:

●

Using HP FontSmart

HP FontSmart is a font management utility (for Windows only), that is included with the printing software that came with your printer. When you install the printing software, you can install HP FontSmart through the Custom installation option.

Fonts must first be installed in your computer’s operating system before you can use them in an application. The HP FontSmart utility manages fonts and makes them available to Windows applications. Using HP FontSmart can improve Windows performance by allowing you to install and make available only the fonts you need.

HP FontSmart searches your disk(s) for all fonts , allowing y ou to vie w font samples and to remove any duplicate or unneeded fonts.

When you run HP FontSmart, two lists are displayed. The list on the left displays fonts available to install, and the list on the right displays the fonts that are currently installed in Windows. You can install, uninstall, or delete any font that appears on the lists.

For more information, see the online Help for HP FontSmart.

Note To save disk space and system resources, install only those fonts that

you plan to use.

84 Using Fonts

Using Internal TrueType Fonts

TrueType fonts are typefaces developed jointly by Microsoft® Corporation and Apple Computer, Inc. Hewlett-Packard has included 80 TrueType fonts with this printer.

You do not need to download these TrueType fonts because they are already installed in your printer. The printer driver automatically uses internal fonts when it can. This results in increased printing performance.

See the Microsoft Windows documentation for specific instructions on using TrueType fonts with Windows.

Chapter 5 85

Understanding Printer Default Fonts

The default font for this printer is 12 point Courier in the PC-8 symbol set. The printer uses the default font only if another font has not been specified.

Changing the Default Font

You can select a different default font from the printer control panel. See the section later in this chapter on selecting PCL default fonts through the control panel.

Selecting a Font Other than the Default

●

You can request a font from within most software applications.

●

You can send a PCL printer command requesting a font different from the default. For information on printer PCL commands, see Appendix B or the printer.

Font Selection Priority

The printer selects printer fonts in the following order:

PCL Technical Reference Package

86 Using Fonts

1 soft fonts (downloaded fonts) 2 fonts on DIMMs 3 internal fonts

In order to select a font, the font must be available from one of these sources. If the font you request is not a vailable, the printer selects the closest match based on individual font characteristics (PCL only).

Selecting Fonts

You can select fonts either from a software application or through the printer control panel.

Note A font request from a software application or printer driver overrides

font settings in the printer control panel.

Selecting Fonts from Software Applications

For information on changing font selection, base font, printer setup, print options, and font appearance from a software application, see the documentation for your application.

Selecting Symbol Sets

If you want to print a symbol such as Ω while the printer is in PCL mode, you must first select the symbol set that contains that character. See the

Interpreting the Font Lists

The PCL font list displays samples of available fonts. The following is a description of the elements of the font list:

1Font

The name of the typeface family.

2 Pitch/Pt

Pitch indicates the number of characters per inch of a fixed-space font. Point Size is the height of the font, measured in points, and is used to describe scalable fonts.

3 ESC Sequence

Escape Sequence (a PCL command) is used to select the designated font. Fill in Pitch or Point Size and Symbol Set in the boxes as required. The escape sequence contains a shaded box followed by “v” or “h.” This indicates that you must enter the point size (for example, 14.25v) or pitch (for example, 12.00h).

4Font #

The number you use to select internal or downloaded soft fonts from the control panel. The source of the font is also listed.

Note: Do not confuse the font number with the soft font ID.

5Font ID

The identification number you assign to soft fonts when you download them through your software.

See the downloading fonts.

The font list for PostScript Emulation displays all fonts installed in the printer’s firmware. Although the characters are listed in only one size, you can scale the typefaces to any size.

Chapter 5 91

Using Typefaces for PostScript Emulation in the Printer

The printer is configured with 80 scalable fonts that are available for PCL and PostScript Emulation. Since these typefaces require software application support, refer to your software documentation f or information about using these typefaces.

92 Using Fonts

Using Fonts on a Network

Consult with your network administrator or with other network users before using the printer control panel to change the default font and before downloading or removing soft fonts and typefaces.

To conserve memory and avoid unexpected printer output, use the guidelines that follow. Your network operating system might automatically protect each user’s print job from the effects of other print jobs in the network. Consult a network administrator for more information.

Guidelines for printing with different fonts

The 80 internal fonts are available in PostScript Emulation (PS)

●

and PCL mode. In order to use a font, your software application must support it.

To conserve printer memory, download only those fonts that are

●

needed. If you require several downloaded fonts, consider installing

●

additional printer memory. Some software applications automatically download fonts at the

●

beginning of each print job. It might be possible to configure those applications to download only soft fonts that are not already resident in the printer. See your software application’s documentation for more information.

Chapter 5 93

Adding Support for Accessory Fonts to a Printer Driver

When you are using typefaces on DIMMs, your printer driver might require information about the size, shape, and style of the type characters so that it can format your text correctly.

Verifying Software Application Support for Fonts

Many current software applications support the typefaces that are included with this printer.

If fonts are listed in a software application’s menu, the software contains support for that font. To download those fonts, follow the instructions provided with the fonts.

Note Although your software lists typefaces in its menus, it does not

necessarily confirm that the typefaces are installed in the printer. You might need to download the typeface into the printer’s memory by following the instructions that came with the typeface.

94 Using Fonts

Using Special Type Effects

The printer can create special type effects, such as patterns, reverse printing, mirrored text, and font rotation. See the user guide for your application to verify that the application supports these features. Developers can find complete instructions for using special type effects in the through HP Direct.

Parallel Configuration

If your printer is not configured with a network interface card, connect the printer to your computer using a bidirectional parallel cable (IEEE-1284C compliant) with a “C” connector (see figure 6-1) plugged into the printer’s parallel port. The cable can be a maximum of 10 meters (30 feet). For ordering information, see the printer supplies and accessories table in chapter 1.

When used to describe a parallel interface, the term indicates that the printer is able to both receive data from the computer and to send data to the computer through the parallel port.

Figure 6-1 Parallel Cable with a “C” Connector

Note To use the enhanced capabilities of the bidirectional parallel interface,

such as bidirectional communication between the computer and printer, faster transfer of data, and automatic configuration of printer drivers, your software application must support these capabilities.

bidirectional

When you are using multiple ports, you can adjust automatic I/O switching to maximize performance by using the timeout feature. If data from other ports appears in the middle of your print job, increase the I/O Timeout value. (See the section on setting I/O Timeout in chapter 2.)

Enhanced I/O (EIO) Configuration

This printer comes equipped with two enhanced input/output (EIO) slots. These slots hold compatible external devices such as the HP JetDirect print server network cards. Plugging EIO network cards into the slots increases the number of network interfaces available to the printer.

EIO network cards can maximize printer performance when you are printing from a network. In addition, they provide the ability to place the printer anywhere on a network. This eliminates the need to attach the printer directly to a server or a workstation and enables you to place the printer closer to your network users.

The printer control panel will have an additional menu (EIO Menu) if the printer is configured with EIO network cards.

HP JetDirect Print Servers

HP JetDirect print servers (network cards) can be installed in one of the printer’s EIO slots. These cards support multiple network protocols and operating systems. HP JetDirect print servers facilitate network management by allowing you to connect a printer directly to your network at any location. HP JetDirect print servers also support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which provides network managers with remote printer management and troubleshooting through HP JetAdmin software.

Note Installation of these cards and network configuration should be

performed by a network administrator.
