HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on
proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then
customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables
features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need
to enable them manually.

Understand paper and print media use
This product supports a variety of paper and other print media in accordance with the guidelines in this
user guide. Paper or print media that does not meet these guidelines might cause the following problems:
Poor print quality
●
Increased jams
●
Premature wear on the product, requiring repair
●
For best results, use only HP-brand paper and print media designed for laser printers or multiuse. Do
not use paper or print media made for inkjet printers. Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend
the use of other brands of media because HP cannot control their quality.
It is possible for paper to meet all of the guidelines in this user guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This might be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and/or humidity levels,
or other variables over which Hewlett-Packard has no control.
CAUTION: Using paper or print media that does not meet Hewlett-Packard's specifications might

Load paper and print media
Tray 1
Tray 1 holds up to 150 pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper, or fewer pages of heavier media (15 mm (0.6 in)).
Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing down.
Media guides ensure that the media feeds correctly into the product and that the print is not skewed.
Tray 1 has side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the
length and width of the media that you are using.
NOTE: When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. Do not fan the media. This reduces jams by preventing multiple
sheets of media from feeding through the product at one time.

Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents.
The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge
enhancements for each element in a document. For more information, see your printer driver online

NOTE: Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing all color documents.
Print in Grayscale
Select the Print in Grayscale option from the printer driver to print a color document in black and white.
This option is useful for printing color documents that will be photocopied or faxed.
When Print in Grayscale is selected, the product uses the monochrome mode, which reduces use of
the color cartridges.

Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for
creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and
photographs.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are
rendered. Edge control has two components:
adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning
increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the
effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping
the edges of adjacent objects slightly.
Color themes
Use color themes to adjust the RGB Color options for the entire page.
Setting description Setting options
RGB Color
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using
●
only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color
cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs.
4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining
●
all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients
and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black.
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive
●
halftoning is on.
Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Light sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
●
Default (sRGB) instructs the product to interpret RGB color as
●
sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accepted standard of Microsoft
and the World Wide Web Consortium (
http://www.w3.org).
Vivid instructs the product to increase the color saturation in the
●
midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This
setting is recommended for printing business graphics.
Photo interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph
●
using a digital mini-lab. It renders deeper, more saturated colors
differently than Default (sRGB) mode. Use this setting for printing
photos.
Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) is for digital photos that use the
●
AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. When printing from a
professional software program that uses AdobeRGB, it is
important to turn off the color management in the software program
and allow the product to manage the color space.
None sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To
●
render photographs correctly when this option is selected, you
must manage color in the program in which you are working or in
the operating system.
ENWW Manage color 87
Match colors
For most users, the best method for matching colors is to print sRGB colors.
The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is complex, because printers and
computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by using light pixels
that use an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors by using a CMYK (cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black) process.
Several factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your monitor:
Print media
●
Printer colorants (inks or toners, for example)
●
Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology, for example)
●
Overhead lighting
●
Personal differences in perception of color
●
Software programs
●
Printer drivers
●
Computer operating systems
●
Monitors
●
Video cards and drivers
●
Operating environment (humidity, for example)
●
Keep these factors in mind when colors on your screen do not perfectly match your printed colors.
Match colors using the Microsoft Office Basic Colors palette
You can use HP ToolboxFX to print a palette of the Microsoft Office Basic Colors. Use this palette to
