Macintosh printing-system software
This section discusses the following topics:
Mac OS 9 Classic support
●
Macintosh printing system
●
Mac OS 9 Classic support
Mac OS 9 Classic is not fully supported by Hewlett-Packard. It is not a native operating system but a
virtual operating system running on top of Mac OS X (HP software is designed and tested for native
operating systems). Additionally, no support is offered for Virtual PC, also a virtual operating system.
Information known to HP on specific issues related to the classic environment or driver may be relayed
to customers.
At this time, support offered for Mac OS 9 Classic is on a "best effort" basis. HP understands that
because certain Apple computers may not offer native Mac OS 9, Classic is the only option. "Best effort"
support will attempt the following:
Installation of the software/hardware
●
Test installation to verify software/hardware works
●
Limited troubleshooting
●
When problems arise within the Mac OS 9 Classic environment, approved software or hardware, HP
uses the following resources to resolve the problem:
Software description
Internal resources, such as knowledgebase systems, engineers, and resource desk
●
Apple support
●
The Web
●
Known solutions
●
If these resources do not resolve the problem, contact Apple or the virtual operating system vendor.
While issues occurring with virtual operating systems are not supported, HP continues to offer full
support for its products in native Mac OS 9, where the supplied product software is designed to support
Mac OS 9 and is within the normal support period.
Macintosh printing system
The HP Color LaserJet 4700 printing system for Macintosh is composed of the Print Center for
Mac OS X (V10.1.5 and later) and the Apple LaserWriter driver for Mac OS 9.2.2, which are provided
with the operating system, and HP-created PPD files. The driver uses these files to determine the
features and postscript commands that the product supports. Bidirectional support in AppleTalk
connections supports autoconfiguration of the software. The following are components that can be
installed:

Driver Configuration for Windows
The HP LaserJet PCL 6 and PCL 5 traditional drivers for Windows and the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS
emulation unidrivers 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:
Upon installation of a print driver, when using Enterprise Autoconfiguration (EAC)
●
When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed
●
However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and EAC are not available in
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating systems over a direct connection
when the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard.
Table 2-2 Availability of automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication in
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003
Connection type Add Printer Wizard install Common installer
Software description
Network Yes Yes
Direct connection No Yes
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 media is available or what accessories
are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on your network operating system
and on the type of connection you have between your computer and the HP Color LaserJet 4700. 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 your
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.
If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the preexisting bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-communication
software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the print driver with the
ENWW Driver Configuration for Windows 31

Software description
actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or whenever the Update
Now feature is used.
If the configuration of the HP Color LaserJet 4700 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.
The following tables show the availability of EAC for various operating systems and network
environments that support bidirectional communication.

Update Now
If you have modified the configuration of the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer 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 HP Color LaserJet 4700 is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is
added later, you can 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 Configure tab if you are using an HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver or HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver,
and on the Device Settings tab if you are using an HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or PS emulation unidriver.
If you are using an HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or PS emulation unidriver, you must select Update Now through
the Automatic Configuration setting in Device Settings tab.
If you are using an HP traditional PCL 6 or PCL 5 driver, you must click the Update Now button on the
Configure tab.
The Update Now feature is not available with the HP Traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver.
NOTE The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows 2000
or Windows XP clients are connected to Windows 2000 or Windows XP hosts.
Software description
HP Driver Preconfiguration
HP Driver Preconfiguration 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
Preconfiguration, 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 Preconfiguration 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:
device settings and printing-preferences settings. The driver is configured to match the product
hardware so that gaining 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 Preconfiguration configures the driver to match the accessories 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 preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps: driver acquisition, driver preconfiguration,
and 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 configuration process for driver preconfiguration 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
ENWW Driver Configuration for Windows 33
Page 56
deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user. The following tools support driver
preconfiguration:
HP Driver Configuration Editor. The HP Driver Configuration Editor 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) Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary Windows
software program is used.
Software description
The HP Driver Configuration Editor is available at the following Web site:
hpdpc_sw
The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queue-
●
creation program that can be used to create printer queues on any Windows 2000, Windows XP,
or Windows Server 2003 or workstation. The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin 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. The plug-in is limited to Internet
Explorer browsers. Netscape Navigator is not supported.
The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin is available at the following Web site:
www.hp.com/sbso/tpm/web_jetadminplugin.html
HP Customization Utility/Silent Installer. The Customization Utility features an install-time mode
●
of HP Driver Preconfiguration. IT administrators can use the utility to preconfigure the drivers for a
printing-system software driver installation that uses the silent installer.
Detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools can be found in the HP Driver
Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available on the printing-system software CD.
For more information, see the HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide at the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw
www.hp.com/go/
Lockable features
The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings:
Print on Both Sides (duplex). The options are True or False.
●
Print in Grayscale. The options are Disable or Enabled.
●
Media Type. The options include all the media types that the HP Color LaserJet 4700 supports
●
Media attributes in the Engineering Details chapter of this manual).
(see
Paper Source. The options are Printer Auto Select, Manual Feed (Tray 1), Tray 1, or Tray 2.
●
When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users.
Generally, the feature is unavailable in the driver UI after it has been installed.
Continuous export
The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the driver to copy the latest driver settings back to
the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be transferred
when a compatible version of the driver is used to upgrade the print driver. For instance, if orientation
is set to Landscape in a driver originally installed in Windows 2000, then the orientation setting
34 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
Page 57
automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to Windows XP or
Windows Server 2003. The continuous export feature functions transparently from the user's
perspective and works only between drivers of identical product models.
NOTE Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the list is always the same
for those that can be preconfigured.

HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool
The HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool is a Web-based diagnostic software that enables you to
determine whether you are using the correct and most current print driver for your
HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer. To gain access to the HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool, go
www.hp.com/go/drivercheck, or go to the HP Business Support Center (BSC) at www.hp.com/go/
to
bsc, click the self-help resources link on the left navigation bar, and then click automatic driver
checker to run the HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool.
When you run the HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool, the products that are currently installed on
your computer appear in a list. When you select the HP product that you would like to check, the
HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool gathers information about your product, drivers, and system
setup in order to diagnose your software driver configuration and check your print driver. The tool then
verifies whether you are using the latest driver, informs you if you are using an incorrect driver for your
HP product, and lets you know if an updated driver version is available for your product. If an updated
driver is available, you can download and install the latest driver version by clicking on it.
The data that the HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool gathers is stored anonymously so that HP can
analyze and continuously improve its diagnostic tools. No private data is gathered from your computer.

International Color Consortium profiles
HP provides cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) (HP4700C.ICM) and standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
(HP4700R.ICM) International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles with the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer.
The CMYK profile can only be used with a postscript driver; the sRGB profile can be used with any of
the HP Color LaserJet 4700 drivers. The profiles are available at the following HP Web site:
www.hp.com/support/clj4700
The ICC profiles describe the way color will be interpreted in the default CMYK and RGB modes. These
profiles can be used for color conversions in a color-managed workflow. The sRGB profile matches the
default RGB mode (sRGB), which is enabled with the Default (sRGB) or Color setting in either a PCL
or postscript driver. The printer interprets CMYK data according to the Specifications for Web Offset
Publications (SWOP) simulation when Default CMYK+is the selected CMYK Color setting in the
postscript driver, and a more accurate SWOP rendering can be produced by selecting the SWOP setting.
This standard defines how a particular set of CMYK ink colors should behave. Emulation for Dainippon
Press (DIC) and Euro-standard CMYK inks used in Asia and Europe are also available and can be
selected from the printer driver.

PANTONE* color profiles
Most software programs that support the use of PANTONE* colors for graphic objects will include the
PANTONE* name in the postscript output along with the color values that are assigned to the object.
For best results, select an application that uses PANTONE* palette in a CMYK workspace and print with
the Postscript driver with the SWOP inkset emulation selected.

Software description
When SWOP is selected as the CMYK Color setting, these CMYK values provides a good reproduction
of the PANTONE* 4C spot-color simulations.
PANTONE* provides device- and software-specific palettes for some HP Color LaserJet products. Using
the custom colors in these palettes can provide an alternative match to the 4C spot-color simulation.
However, files that use these palettes are not portable to other devices.
PANTONE* Application Palettes are available at the following Web site:
www.hp.com/support/clj4700
Vector graphics, such as company logos that are created in PANTONE* Application Palettes, can be
imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other Microsoft Office software programs. For importation,
the color program must create an encapsulated postscript (.EPS) file of the image. By using the Insert
file function, you can then import the file into the Office document.
NOTE Cutting and pasting from the clipboard does not work. These tasks do not preserve the
PANTONE* name or the CMYK palette value.

HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) is a standard feature on the following
HP Color LaserJet 4700 models when they are connected through a network:
HP Color LaserJet 4700n
●
HP Color LaserJet 4700dn
●
HP Color LaserJet 4700dtn
●
HP Color LaserJet 4700ph+
●
The base model, HP Color LaserJet 4700 can use the HP EWS if an optional EIO Jetdirect card is
installed.
The HP EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management. Instead of
installing management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin, use HP EWS for remote management in
offices that have a limited number of products. The only requirement is that the management console
have a supported Web browser.
In environments that have a larger number of products, in which one-to-one management is impractical,
the HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin work together to provide scalable remote product
management. Use HP Web Jetadmin for consolidated management tasks when you want to perform
operations on a selected set of products. For such environments, HP provides hooks between the
HP EWS and HP Web Jetadmin so that you can configure HP EWS features on multiple products in
one operation. For example, you can set the security password for the HP EWS simultaneously on a
cluster of products.
For additional information and a copy of the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide, go to:
support/clj4700.
To use the HP EWS to view information about the product, open a supported Web browser and type
the product transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) address or host name. To find the
TCP/IP address, look for IP Address on the Embedded Jetdirect page, in the TCP/IP section. To find
the host name of the product, look for Host Name in the TCP/IP section.
You also can view information about an installed HP Jetdirect print server by clicking the Networking
tab in the HP EWS window.

3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the traditional print drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 4700 in
Windows 98 and Windows Me.
You can control print jobs from several places: the printer control panel, the software program, and the
driver user interface. Generally, for features that are common to two or more of these places (for
instance, you can select the media input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the
software program take precedence over print-driver settings. Print-driver settings override printer
control-panel settings.
The chapter contains the following sections:
HP traditional PCL 6 and PCL 5 driver features

drivers for Windows
ENWW Introduction 69
Page 92
HP traditional PCL 6 and PCL 5 driver features
When you install the print drivers by using the printing-system installer in Windows 98 or Windows Me,
the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver is installed by default. You can install the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver
by performing a Custom Installation.
NOTE Windows NT 4.0 does not support the HP Color LaserJet 4700 print drivers, but you can
use print drivers for legacy HP products whose feature sets closely matches the feature set of
the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer. For instance, you can use the HP Color LaserJet 4650
drivers; however, color quality may be compromised. HP does not support the use of any print
driver other than the driver supplied for the product. When you install the print drivers in
Windows NT 4.0, you must use the Add Printer installation method to install the HP Traditional
PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver.
This section describes the options that are available on each tab of the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and
HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver Document Default print-driver interface and on some of the tabs of the
Properties print-driver interface.
This section also describes differences between the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional
PCL 5 Driver.
drivers for Windows
HP traditional print
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:
1. Click File
2. Click Print.
3. Click Properties.
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.
Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me
In Windows 98 and Windows Me, you have access to a single set of driver tabs. To gain access to the
print drivers, follow these steps:
1. Click Start.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Printers.
4. Right-click the printer name.
5. Click Properties to gain access to all print-driver tabs.
The settings that you make on these driver tabs control print-job output and become the default settings
for all applications. The following print-driver tabs are available in Windows 98 and Windows Me:
General tab
●
Details tab
●

Color Management tab
●
Sharing tab
●
Finishing tab

Paper tab
●
Output tab (appears only when accessories are installed and configured)
●
Job Storage tab (appears only when hard disk is installed and configured)
●
Basics tab
●
Color tab
●
Configure tab
●
NOTE Only the Finishing, Effects, Paper, Output, Job Storage, Basics, Color and
Configure tabs are described in this manual. These are product-specific HP driver tabs; the other
driver tabs are part of the operating system.
The Output tab is available only when an optional paper destination is selected on the
Configure tab. The Job Storage tab is available only when the Job Storage Enable setting is
selected on the Configure tab. The settings take effect only after you click OK on the
Configure tab.
Help system
The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver include a full-featured Help
system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.
What's this? Help
What's this? Help is supported in Windows 98 and Windows Me. You can gain access to What's this?
Help messages in any of the following ways:
Right-click a control and then click What's this?. A pop-up Help window appears.
●
Click the ? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an
●
arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control, the pop-up Help
window for that feature appears.
Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.
●
Context-sensitive Help
When you click the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, a context-sensitive Help message
appears.
Incompatible Options messages
Incompatible Options settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in
response to specific actions that you take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or
impossible given the capabilities of the printer or the current settings of other controls. For example, if
HP traditional print
drivers for Windows
ENWW HP traditional PCL 6 and PCL 5 driver features 71
Page 94
drivers for Windows
HP traditional print
you click Print on Both Sides and then change the media type to Transparency, a message appears
asking you to resolve this conflict.
Figure 3-1 A typical constraint message with an OK button
Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK or Cancel button, the interpretation of the button
is as follows:
Clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting
●
control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.
Clicking Cancel rejects the change that was just made, and the control returns to its previous value.
●
Bubble Help
Bubble Help features a graphical icon that resembles a cartoon speech bubble with a lowercase "i" in
it, representing the international symbol for information. The following figure shows a Bubble Help icon
on a driver tab.
Figure 3-2 A typical page with a Bubble Help icon
The bubble typically appears next to a control that is unavailable, although it can also accompany an
available control if an important note concerning its use is available within the Help. Moving the pointer
72 Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows ENWW
Page 95
over the bubble changes the arrow to a gloved hand, which indicates that the area underneath the
pointer is selectable. When the bubble is selected by using either the mouse or the keyboard, a message
box appears that contains a brief explanation about why the control is disabled and what can be done
to enable it. If the control is not disabled, the message is a tip or a precaution that you should be aware
of when using that particular feature.
Finishing tab features
To gain access to the Finishing tab in Windows 98 or Windows Me, follow these steps:
1. Click Start.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Printers.
4. Right-click the printer name.
5. Click Properties.
6. Click the Finishing tab.
Use the Finishing tab to print on both sides of the page, to control the printed output on the page, and
to print booklets. The following figure shows the Finishing tab.
Figure 3-3 The default Finishing tab

The Finishing tab contains the following controls:
Print Task Quick Sets group box
●
Document Options group box
●
Document preview image
●
Print Quality group box
●
Print Task Quick Sets
The first group box in the upper portion of the Finishing tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Any change to
the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the Finishing tab affects the Print Task Quick
Sets group boxes on all of the Document Defaults driver tabs (Effects Paper, Job Storage, and
Basics ) because they are all the same control.
Use the Print Task Quick Sets setting to store the current combination of driver settings that appear
on all of the other print driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are either preset by network-administrator
settings or user-defined printing specifications (such as media size, pages per sheet, and so on). The
Print Task Quick Sets control does not appear on the driver Properties tabs.
By default, the Print Task Quick Sets menu is set to Type new Quick Set name here. When you
change any of the default settings on any of the Document Defaults driver tabs and you want to save
the configuration as a Print Task Quick Set, highlight the words Type new Quick Set name here, type
the name you want for your new Print Task Quick Set, and then click Save. The Print Task Quick Sets
are saved in the system registry. To delete a Print Task Quick Set, select it in the drop-down menu and
click Delete.
NOTE Administrators can predefine Print Task Quick Sets for their users. These administrator
Print Task Quick Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but usually cannot
be modified by users. Users can also define Print Task Quick Sets for their own use. User-defined
Print Task Quick Sets are described later in this section.
You can store a maximum of 25 Print Task Quick Sets on a particular system. If you attempt to save
too many, a message box appears that reads, "There are too many Print Task Quick Sets defined.
Please delete some before adding new ones."
The following settings are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu:
Default Print Settings
●
User Guide Print Settings
●
Default Print Settings
When you select Default Print Settings, nearly all of the settings are restored to the combination that
existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the attribute combinations that
are associated with watermark definitions, custom media sizes, or the other quick sets have been
changed or deleted, the original settings for those items are not restored.
The following table shows the default settings for Print Task Quick Sets. See

available when the following conditions exist:
Type is: on the Paper tab is set to any type except Labels, Transparency, or Envelope.
●
Size is: is set to any size except for Statement, Envelope #10, Envelope DL, Envelope C5,

Automatically printing on both sides
The duplexing unit in the printer prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on Both
Sides option is specified in the print job. The HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer comes with a duplexing
unit installed in the following models:
HP Color LaserJet 4700dn
●
HP Color LaserJet 4700dtn
●
HP Color LaserJet 4700ph+
●
The HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer supports 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 media types support the smart duplexing feature, except for media types that cannot be printed on
both sides, such as labels, and the following media types:
Prepunched
●
Preprinted
●
Letterhead
●
When the media 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 printer needs to make
adjustments to its print modes. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the printer
to use a group of settings, such as fuser temperature and print speed, to produce the best possible
quality. This group of settings is known as a mode or print mode, and a different print mode is used with
each media type. Print-mode adjustments are automatic when the duplexing unit is used.
