The front panel
Your printer's front panel is located on the front of the printer, on the right-hand side. It has the following
important functions:
● It must be used to perform certain operations, such as loading and unloading paper.
● It can display up-to-date information about the status of the printer, the ink cartridges, the
printheads, the paper, the print jobs, etc.
● It can provide guidance in using the printer.
It displays warning and error messages when appropriate.
●
It can be used to change the values of printer settings and thus change the operation of the printer.
●
However, settings in the printer are overridden by settings in the Embedded Web Server or in the
driver.
Introduction
The front panel has the following components:
1. The display area, where information, icons, and menus are displayed.
2. The Power key turns the printer on and off. If the printer is in sleep mode, this key will wake it up.
3. The Power light is off when the printer is off; amber when the printer is in sleep mode; green when
the printer is on; green and flashing when the printer is in transition between off and on.
4. The Form Feed and Cut key normally ejects the sheet (if a sheet is loaded) or advances and cuts
the roll (if a roll is loaded). However, if the printer is waiting for more pages to be nested, this key
cancels the waiting time and prints the available pages immediately.
5. The Reset key restarts the printer (as if it were switched off and switched on again). You will need
an implement with a narrow tip to operate the Reset key.
6. The Cancel key cancels the current operation. It is often used to stop printing the current print job.
7. The Status light is off when the printer is not ready to print: it may be off, or in sleep mode. It is
green when the printer is ready and idle; green and flashing when the printer is busy; amber when
a serious internal error has occurred; amber and flashing when awaiting human attention.

11. The Down key moves to the next item in a list, or decreases a numerical value.
To highlight an item in the front panel, press the Up or Down key until the item is highlighted.
To select an item in the front panel, first highlight it and then press the Select key.
The four front-panel icons are all found in the main menu. If you need to select or highlight an icon, and
you don't see the icons in the front panel, press the Back key until you can see them.
When this guide shows a series of front panel items like this: Item1 > Item2 > Item3, it means that you
should select Item1, then select Item2, then select Item3.
Information about specific uses of the front panel can be found throughout this guide.
Printer software
The following software is provided with your printer:
● The Embedded Web Server, which runs in the printer and enables you to use a Web browser on
● The HP-GL/2 and RTL driver for Windows
● The PostScript driver for Windows (HP Designjet 4000ps and 4500ps only)

Scanner software [4500]
NOTE This topic applies to the HP Designjet 4500 Printer series only.
The scanner software is installed in the scanner's touch screen, and will run automatically when you
switch on the touch screen. The first page that you see can be divided into two main sections:
● The viewing section on the left, for viewing scanned images
The control section on the right
●
8 Chapter 1 Introduction ENWW
The preview window fills most of the viewing section. Above it is the image toolbar, with nine buttons
that can be used to change the preview in some way (see Using your printer on CD).
The control section contains four tabs: Copy, Scan, Print, and Setup. Each tab provides options that you
can set when performing copy, scan, print, or setup tasks.
At the bottom of the page are seven larger buttons. From left to right:
1. Quit : shuts down or restarts the touch screen
2. Online help : provides more information on some topics than this document
3. Print queue : manages the print queue
4. Preview : scans the document to preview the image and select the area of interest
5. Reset : resets settings to default values
6. Stop : cancels the current activity
7. Copy, Scan, or Print depending on the selected tab

Switch on and off
If you wish to switch the printer on or off, the normal and recommended method is to use the Power key
on the front panel.
How do I... (printer operation
topics)
When you switch off the printer this way, the printheads are automatically stored with the printhead
cleaners, which prevents them from drying out.
However, if you plan to leave the printer switched off for a long period of time, you are recommended to
switch it off using the Power key, and then also switch off the power switch at the rear.
Hint The printer is Energy Star compliant and can be left switched on without wasting
energy. Leaving it on improves response time and overall system reliability. When the printer
has not been used for a certain period of time (30 minutes by default), it will save power by
going into sleep mode. However, any interaction with the printer will return it to active mode,
and it can resume printing immediately.
To switch it back on later, use the power switch at the rear, and then the Power key.
When the printer is switched on, it will take some time to initialize itself. This time is about three minutes
for the HP Designjet 4000 series, and about three and a half minutes for the Designjet 4500 series.
12 Chapter 2 How do I... (printer operation topics) ENWW
Restart
In some circumstances you may be advised to restart the printer. Please proceed as follows:
1. Press the Power key on the front panel to switch the printer off, wait a few moments, then press
the Power key again. This should cause the printer to restart; if not, continue with step 2.
2. Use the Reset key on the front panel. You will need an implement with a narrow tip to operate the
Reset key. This normally has the same effect as step 1 above, but may work if step 1 does not.
3. If neither of the above steps seem to have any effect, you should switch off the printer using the
power switch at the rear of the printer.
4. Remove the power cord from the power socket.
5. Wait for 10 seconds.
6. Insert the power cord into the power socket and switch on the printer using the power switch.
7. Check that the Power light on the front panel comes on. If it does not, use the Power key to switch
the printer on.
Access the Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server enables you to manage your printer and your printing jobs remotely using
an ordinary Web browser running on any computer.
NOTE In order to use the Embedded Web Server, you must have a TCP/IP connection to

Using IP over FireWire with Mac OS X 10.3 and later
If you are using Mac OS X 10.3 or a later version, and have a FireWire connection to your printer, it is
possible to set up an IP address for the printer in order to use the Embedded Web Server. To do this:
1. Open System Preferences and click Network.
2. Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu.
3. If you see no FireWire port configuration in the list, click New, then choose FireWire from the Port
popup menu. You can give the new port configuration a name, such as FireWire.
4. Drag the port configuration to the top of the Port Configuration list. This ensures that the port is
assigned an IP address.
5. Click Apply Now.
If you don't drag the FireWire port configuration to the top of the Port Configuration list, you need to
choose Manually (or DHCP with manual address) from the Configure IPv4 popup menu, and then
enter an IP address. See
over FireWire.
When the printer is connected through FireWire, we recommend adding the printer using the FireWire
modules in order to take full advantage of FireWire printing, and to use the IP over FireWire only to visit
the printer’s Embedded Web Server.
If you connect your printer through FireWire and the printer is also connected to the network through
Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet, the printer’s IP over FireWire will not be available and you will not be
able to access the Embedded Web Server from the Printer Dialog. However, you will be able to print
through FireWire.
Also in the case of printer sharing over FireWire, remote users will not be able to access the Embedded
Web Server from the Printer Dialog, although they will be able to print.

Password-protect the Embedded Web Server
1. In the Embedded Web Server, go to the Security page, which you can find in the Settings tab.
2. Enter a password of your own choice in the New password field.
3. Enter it again in the Confirm password field to guard against misspelling.
4. Click Set password.
Now no-one will be able to perform the following actions with the Embedded Web Server without giving
the password:
