Device conflicts in Windows

Overview

Windows overview

The product is connected through the USB port.

USB port connections

USB 2.0 is an input/output mode that both Windows and Macintosh computers support. A wide variety of consumer devices, such as digital cameras and scanners, also support USB. Note that the HP LaserJet 1020 printer is compatible with USB 2.0 specifications.

A distinction exists between a USB Host and a USB Device. The HP LaserJet 1020 printer is a USB Device. It can only connect to a USB Host or a USB Hub.

Device conflicts in Windows

When two-way communication cannot be established with the product, the Windows Device Manager might show a conflict. Conflicts should be resolved immediately, and before continuing to troubleshoot two-way communication issues. The following sections contain a few guidelines for identifying and resolving these conflicts.

NOTE This process applies to both USB and parallel port devices. However, USB devices

are only supported in Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

Opening the Windows Device Manager

Follow these steps to open the Windows Device Manager.

1 For Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, and Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, and then click

Control Panel.

For Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2 Double-click the System icon.

3 On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.

NOTE In Windows 98 SE, click the Device Manager tab.

Host-based features

NOTE Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by computing the print job on the host

computer rather than computing the print job in the product formatter.

This section contains the following information:

■ Access to drivers

■ Help system

■ Driver-tab features

Access to drivers

To gain access to driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then click Properties. The appearance and names of the driver tab can vary, depending on the operating system. These settings apply only while the software program is open.

You can also control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. These settings change the default settings that are used across all software programs.

Windows driver features

■ In Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, click Printers, right-click the product name, and

then click Printing Preferences to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program controls.

■ In Windows XP, click Start, click Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional) or Printers

and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home), right-click the product name, and then click Printing Preferences to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program

controls.

If, after right-clicking the product name, you click Properties, you gain access to a different set of tabs that control the driver behavior and driver connections. For information about the Properties tabs that are described in this chapter, see the

Printer Properties tab set section.

Help system

The Host-based driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options. The following Help options are available:

■ What's this? Help

■ Context-sensitive Help

■ Constraint messages

28 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

What's this? Help

"What's this?" Help is supported in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You can gain access to "What's this?" Help messages in any of the following ways:

■ Right-click a control or option and then click What's this?, and 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. Use this special cursor to select a control or option, and the pop-up Help window for that feature appears.

■ Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control or option appears.

Context-sensitive Help

Press the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, and context-sensitive Help appears.

Constraint messages

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 product or the current settings of other controls. For example, if you click Print on Both Sides (Manually) and then change the media type to Transparency, a message appears asking you to resolve this conflict.

Figure 3-1 A typical constraint message

Whenever a constraint message appears with Restore my previous settings and Keep this setting, and I will change it later buttons, the interpretation of the buttons 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 remains set at its

previous value.

Driver tab features

This section describes the options that are available on each tab of the Host-based driver interfaces. The following information is included:

■ Printing Preferences tab set

■ Printer Properties tab set

Windows driver features

Access to drivers section for Windows

Figure 3-2 Paper/Quality tab

30 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

The Paper/Quality tab contains the following controls:

■ Quick Sets group box

■ Paper Options group box

■ Document preview image

Quick Sets

The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Quick Sets. Any change to the Quick Sets group box that is made on the Paper/Quality tab affects all of the Printing Preferences

driver tabs (the Paper/Quality, Effects, Finishing, and Basics tabs) because they are all the same control.

Use the Quick Sets setting to store the current combination of driver settings that are on all of the other print driver tabs. Quick Sets are either preset by using network-administrator settings or userdefined printing specifications (such as media size, pages per sheet, and so on).

NOTE Administrators can predefine Quick Sets for their users. These administrator Quick

Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but usually cannot be modified by users. Users can also define Quick Sets for their own use. User-defined Quick Sets are described later in this section.

The following selections are available in the Quick Sets drop-down menu:

■ Defaults

■ Type new Quick Set name here

Default Print Settings

When you select Defaults, 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 or custom media sizes quick sets have been changed or deleted, the original settings are not restored.

Defaults appears in the Quick Sets menu automatically if no other driver settings have been changed since the driver was installed, or if all of the driver settings match the original settings. Otherwise, the setting in the Quick Sets menu is the same label that appeared when you last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking OK.

Type new Quick Set name here

By default, the Quick Sets menu is set to Defaults. When you change any of the default settings on any of the Printing Preferences driver tabs and you want to save the configuration as a Quick Set, highlight the words Untitled, type the name that you want for your new Quick Set, and then click Save. Quick Sets are saved in the system registry. To delete a Quick Set, select it from the dropdown menu and then click Delete.

NOTE Administrators can predefine Quick Sets for their users. These administrator Quick

Windows driver features

The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes.

You can specify a size for all the settings in the Paper Options group box. You must use the same media size for the entire print job. That is, if the print job uses Letter-size media, any option that you select from the available Use different paper options must also use Letter-size media.

NOTE Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different

media sizes within a single document.

For the Other Pages and Back Cover settings, you can select a source (tray) and media type that differ from the settings selected for First Page. If a conflict exists among media source, media size,

32 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

and/or media type, and you choose to keep the conflicting settings, the settings are processed in the following order: media size, media type, and then media source.

Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, it is generally best to use the driver to set media size only for software programs that lack a media-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.

NOTE When you use a software program that has a media-size setting, you can specify

different media sizes within a single document by using the Use different paper options. For more information, see

Custom

The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom button on the Paper/ Quality tab. The following illustration shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog

box.

Figure 3-4 Custom Paper Size dialog box

When the Custom Paper Size dialog box appears, the drop-down menu in the Name group contains one of two things, depending on the current media-size selection on the Paper/Quality tab:

■ If the media-size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu

contains the name of that custom size.

■ If the media-size selection is a standard media size, then the drop-down menu shows the default

name Untitled for a custom media size.

ENWW Host-based features 33

Windows driver features

NOTE In Windows 98 SE and Windows Me, two names for the same size media can coexist

(for example, "big" and "BIG" can both be used as names for custom-size media measuring

8.4 inches x 11 inches). In Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, both uppercase and lowercase names can be used, but they cannot be used to name the same media size.

The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom media-size names, and not against the standard media-size names.

The complete set of titles for this button and the specific characteristics that determine its title and capabilities are discussed in the

Name

The Name drop-down menu shows the name of the custom media size that was selected most recently. Use the Name drop-down menu to select from the list of currently defined custom media sizes, or to type a new name for a custom media size.

The name that appears in the Name drop-down menu is one of three things, depending on the following conditions:

■ If a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu and the other

Windows driver features

controls in the dialog box have not been changed since then, the Name drop-down menu shows the name of the last selected custom media size.

■ If the width or height controls have been changed since a custom size was selected or saved, or

if a saved media size has just been deleted, then the Name drop-down menu shows the default name of Untitled.

Save, Delete, or Rename section.

■ If a new name has been typed into the Name drop-down menu for the purpose of saving a new

size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the drop-down menu until a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu.

If you type a new name into the Name drop-down menu, but then do not click the Save button, you should be able to change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if a saved media-size name is selected from the drop-down menu, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning, and replaced by the values of the selected custom media size.

34 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

Save, Delete, or Rename

The dynamic command button located next to the Name drop-down menu has three possible labels: Save, Delete, or Rename.

■ Save is the button title whenever the height and width values have been changed since the most

recent save action or since the selection of an existing custom media size. Clicking the button causes the name in the Name drop-down menu to be compared against each of the saved names. If a duplicate is found, a dialog box appears, asking if it is okay to replace the existing item. If you click Yes, the old item is updated with the new values. If you click No, the driver returns to the Custom Paper Size dialog box, where you can type a different name. The new name is compared only against the list of user-defined custom media names, and not against the standard media-size names. Whenever the command button has the Save title, it is the default button.

■ Delete is the button title whenever the name of an existing (previously saved) custom media size

appears in the Name drop-down menu, such as immediately after selecting an item from the drop-down menu or clicking the Save button. Clicking the Delete button causes the saved custom media size to be deleted, after which the Name drop-down menu changes to Untitled, the height and width controls are unchanged, and the button title changes to Save.

■ Rename is the button title when you type something into the Name drop-down menu after

selecting an existing custom media size from the drop-down menu. If no duplicate is found, then the name of the stored custom media size changes to match the contents of the Name drop- down menu.

The following table illustrates the relationships between the Name drop-down menu, the command button, and the actions that take users from one state to another.

When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print. The list contains all of the standard media sizes that the selected media source supports and any custom media sizes that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to

Fit is automatically selected.

Scale to Fit option

The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target media 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 media. If the document size is larger than the target media size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target media. The following illustration shows preview images for a document that has been formatted for legal-size media with the Print Document On check box selected, and the target size specified as Letter.

42 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

Figure 3-8 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 page size.

% of Normal Size option

The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100 percent of normal size. Normal size is defined as the media size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the media 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 percent to 400 percent, and any values outside of 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 upper-left corner of the preview.

The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator is dragged, and the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the scale by one percent. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10 percent.

Windows driver features

You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Windows resolution. Use the scroll bar indicator to approximate the value that you want, and then use the scroll bar arrows to refine the value.

The following settings disable % of Normal Size:

■ Print Document On (on the Effects tab) is selected

■ Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1

Watermarks group box

Use the Watermarks feature to choose a watermark, create your own custom watermarks (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver:

■ (none)

■ Confidential

■ Draft

■ SAMPLE

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 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).

Windows driver features

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).

Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.

44 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

Figure 3-9 Watermark Details

The dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating a new watermark and controlling the message angle and font attributes.

Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box. However, clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes. If you make changes to a watermark, and then select a different watermark or click New, all of the changes that you made to the previous watermark are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled.

Current Watermarks

The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks made available in the driver and any new watermarks that you have created.

To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks list and in the Watermark Message edit box as Untitled until you name it. The name that you type in the Watermark Message field appears in the Current Watermarks group box in the Watermark Details dialog box and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab.

To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit box. To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list and click Delete. A warning appears asking whether you are sure you want to delete the selected item. Click Cancel if you want to keep the watermark. Click OK to delete the selected watermark.

NOTE You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one

time. When the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled, and a Bubble Help appears that explains why the button is disabled and how to enable it.

To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.

Watermark Message

The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you 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 in relation to the text. The settings are Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom). The default is

Diagonal. All three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection

Windows driver features

of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. Horizontal places the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. Angle places the text at the specified angle across the page.

Font Attribute

Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style of the font.

The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls:

■ Name drop-down menu

■ Color drop-down menu

■ Shading drop-down menu

■ Size spin box

■ Style drop-down menu

Name

The Name drop-down menu lists fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is language-dependent.

Color

The default Gray setting is the only setting available from the Color drop-down menu.

46 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

Shading

■ Lightest

■ Very Light (default)

■ Light

■ Medium Light

■ Medium

■ Medium Dark

■ Dark

■ Very Dark

■ Darkest

These values represent the intensity of the gray that is used. A choice of Light produces a lightly saturated gray watermark. A choice of Lightest produces the lightest shade of watermark; Darkest produces a black watermark.

Size

Font sizes from 1 to 999 points are available from the Size menu. The default point size is languagedependent. The choice of Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic is available from the Style dropdown menu.

Style

The choice of Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic is available from the Style drop-down menu. The default Style setting for new and preset watermarks is Regular.

Default settings

The default settings for new watermarks are Arial font, Gray color, Very Light shading, 80 points, and Regular style. The default settings for preset watermarks are Arial font, Very Light shading, and Bold style. The default point size for preset watermarks is language-dependent, and varies.

Print Quality

Print quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style for printing graphics. You can also use the print quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type.

The Print Quality group box contains the following controls:

■ Print Quality drop-down menu

■ Print All Text as Black

■ Economode

52 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

Print Quality drop-down menu

You can change the setting to accommodate the type of job that you are printing. The following are the settings:

■ FastRes 1200 This setting uses FastRes 1200 to provide 600 x 600 x 2. This is the default

setting.

■ 600 dpi This setting provides 600 x 600 dpi.

Print All Text as Black

The Print All Text as Black 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.

Economode

EconoMode is a feature that allows the product to use less toner per page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner supply and will reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time when the average toner coverage is significantly less than 5 percent, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.

Basics tab features

The Basics tab provides options for setting the number of copies to be printed and the orientation of the print job. You can also use the Basics tab to retrieve information about the driver. The following illustration shows the Basics tab.

Copies group box

The Copies feature allows you to specify the number of copies to print.

The number of copies you request appears in the Copies box. You can select the number by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the edit box. Valid entries are numbers

54 Chapter 3 Windows driver features ENWW

from 1 to 999 . The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (999) when the down arrow is used. Invalid entries into the edit box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1 or greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value entered when you click on another group box or leave the Basics tab. 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 that 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 wherever possible.

Orientation

Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the manner in which

media is fed into the printer. You can specify the orientation of the print job.

Orientation can toggle between portrait and landscape by left-clicking the preview image. If you check Rotate by 180 degrees, there is no change in the preview image.

The Orientation group box contains the following options:

■ Portrait option button

No returns you to the last open screen of the installer.

Installing the software when the printer is already connected to a computer

If the product is already connected to a computer when you begin installing the software, Windows automatically detects the product and uses Plug-n-Play to install the printer driver. During this process, Plug-n-Play calls the Add Printer Wizard to automatically install the printer driver and the USB port. When Plug-n-Play completes, you are given the option to install the additional support files.

If you prefer, you can cancel Plug-n-Play and run the Add Printer Wizard manually to install the printer driver. This procedure is not recommended if you are using Windows 98 SE or Me because the Add Printer Wizard does not install the USB port for these operating systems. If you are using Windows 98 SE or Me, when the Add Printer Wizard completes you must unplug the USB cable from the product and then plug it in again so that Windows can use Plug-n-Play to install the USB port.

At the end of the Add Printer Wizard, you are given the option to install the additional support files.

This section shows the dialog box options that appear during the Add Printer Wizard.
