HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single print 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.

48 Chapter 4 Print ENWW

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.

Archive print produces output that is less susceptible to toner smearing and dusting. Use archive print to create documents that you want to preserve or archive.

Use the HP EasyColor option

If you are using the HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically improves mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Office programs. This technology scans documents and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format. The HP EasyColor technology enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several pieces, which results in improved color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.

If you are using the HP Postscript print driver for Mac, the HP EasyColor technology scans all documents and automatically adjusts all photographic images with the same improved photographic results.

In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option. The images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.

The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in both the HP PCL 6 print driver and the HP Mac Postscript print driver, so you do not need to make manual color adjustments. To disable the option so you can manually adjust the color settings, open the Color tab in the Windows driver or the Color/

Quality Options tab in the Mac driver, and then click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it.

Change the color options (Windows)

Default (sRGB): This theme sets the product to print RGB data in raw device mode. When

●

using this theme, manage color in the software program or in the operating system for correct rendering.

Vivid (sRGB): The product increases the color saturation in the midtones. Use this theme

●

when printing business graphics.

Photo (sRGB): The product interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using

●

a digital mini lab. The product renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than with the Default (sRBG) theme. Use this theme when printing photos.

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998): Use this theme with printing digital photos that use the

●

AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. Turn off color management in the software program when using this theme.

None: No color theme is used.

●

Custom Profile: Select this option to use a custom input profile to accurately control color

●

output (for example, to emulate a specific HP Color LaserJet product). Download custom profiles from

www.hp.com.

Setting description Setting options

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines the rendering of edges. 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.

Halftone

Halftone options affect color output clarity and

resolution.

Neutral Grays

The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs.

Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

●

Light sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on.

●

Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is

●

on.

Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive

●

halftoning is on.

Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas

●

and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are important.

Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp

●

distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp edges and small details are important.

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.

Match colors

The process of matching product output color to a computer screen is quite complex because printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels
