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: ENWW ● The HP Color LaserJet Installer for Mac OS X V10.1.5 and later ● SYSTEM/EXTENSIONS/PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS ● LIBRARY/PRINTERS/PPDS/CONTENTS/RESOURCES/LANGUAGE.LPROJ ● The HP Printer Selector ● Install notes Printing-system software 25 Software description Macintosh printing-system software Driver Configuration for Windows The HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows and the HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver 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 and optional paper trays. Driver Autoconfiguration Software description 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 3600 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 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 3600. 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 26 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW 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 3600 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. Method Connection type Microsoft Windows 98 Installer Add Printer Microsoft Share1 Me 2000 XP x x 2000/XP host with 2000/XP client Direct connect USB (DOT 4) Network Jetdirect TCP/IP x x x Standard TCP/IP (HP) x x x TCP/IP (MS) x x x Direct connect USB Network Jetdirect TCP/IP Standard TCP/IP (HP) Software description Table 2-3 EAC availability in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Share TCP/IP (MS) 1 2 This column represents the following Microsoft Share configurations: 1.

It is not supported with Microsoft Client Service for NetWare. ENWW Driver Configuration for Windows 27 Update Now NOTE The Update Now feature is not available for the HP Traditional host-based driver. If you have modified the configuration of the HP Color LaserJet 3600 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. Software description For example, if the HP Color LaserJet 3600 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 theDevice Settings tab if you are using the HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver. 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. 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. 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 28 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW 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. The HP Driver Configuration Editor is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/ hpdpc_sw ● The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queuecreation 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 Lockable features The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings: ● Print on Both Sides (duplex). The options are Off or On. ● Print in Grayscale. The options are Disable or Enabled. ● Media Type. The options include all the media types that the HP Color LaserJet 3600 supports (see Media attributes in the Engineering Details chapter of this manual). ● 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 ENWW Driver Configuration for Windows 29 Software description ● 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. The following table shows drivers and operating systems that support HP Driver Preconfiguration. Table 2-5 Operating systems that support HP Driver Preconfiguration Software description 1 30 Driver Windows 98 Windows Me Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows Server 2003 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver N/A1 N/A1 Yes Yes Yes HP Traditional hos t-based driver Yes Yes N/A N/A N/A N/A: Not applicable; the driver is not supported in this operating system. Chapter 2 Software description ENWW HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool The HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool is a Web-based diagnostic software that you can use to determine whether you are using the correct and most current print driver for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer.

HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows NOTE For a comparison of features between the HP unidrivers and HP traditional print drivers in various operating systems, see Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems. You can control print jobs from several places: ● the product control panel ● the software program print dialog box ● the driver user interface Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (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, in turn, override product control-panel settings. NOTE Windows NT 4.0 does not support the HP Color LaserJet 3600 print drivers, but you can use print drivers for legacy HP products whose feature sets closely match the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer feature set. For instance, you can use the HP Color LaserJet 4650 drivers, but some print-driver features might be missing and color quality might be compromised. HP does not support the use of any print driver other than the driver that is 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 host-based driver. This chapter describes the options that are available on each tab of the HP Traditional host-based driver Properties print-driver interface. It also shows the tabs that are available on the HP Traditional hostbased driver interface for Windows 98 and Windows Me. The chapter contains the following sections: ENWW ● Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me ● Help system ● Paper/Quality tab features ● Finishing tab features Introduction 65 HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows 66 ● Effects tab features ● Basics tab features ● Color tab features ● Device Settings tab features ● About tab features ● Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me ● Help system ● Paper/Quality tab features ● Finishing tab features ● Effects tab features ● Basics tab features ● Color tab features ● Device Settings tab features ● About tab features Chapter 3 HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows ENWW Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me 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. Properties driver tabs 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: ENWW ● General tab ● Details tab ● Color Management tab ● Sharing tab ● Paper/Quality tab ● Finishing tab ● Effects tab ● Basics tab ● Color tab ● Device Settings tab ● About tab Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me 67 HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows 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: NOTE Only the Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects, Basics, Color, Device Settings and About tabs are described in this STR. These are product-specific HP driver tabs; the other driver tabs are part of the operating system. HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows 68 Chapter 3 HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows ENWW Help system The HP Traditional host-based driver includes 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 Feature Unavailable messages Feature Unavailable 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 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 and Cancel buttons, the interpretation of the buttons is as follows: ENWW ● 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. Help system 69 HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows When you click the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, a context-sensitive Help message appears. Paper/Quality tab features To gain access to the Paper/Quality 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 Paper/Quality tab. Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify the size, type, and source of the media. You can also use this tab to indicate different paper-selection choices for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, and back cover of the document. The following figure shows the Paper/Quality tab. HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows Figure 3-2 Paper/Quality tab The Paper/Quality tab contains the following controls: 70 ● Print Task Quick Sets ● Paper Options ● Document preview image ● Print Quality Chapter 3 HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows ENWW Print Task Quick Sets The first group box in the upper portion of the Finishing tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Because they are all the same control, any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the tab affects the Print Task Quick Sets group boxes on all of the Properties driver tabs that have the Print Task Quick Sets settings: ● Paper/Quality ● Finishing ● Effects ● Basics ● Color 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 Properties 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 HP Driver Preconfiguration for information about preconfigurable driver settings. ENWW Paper/Quality tab features 71 HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows 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.

User Guide Print Settings The User Guide Print Settings option provides a Print Task Quick Set for optimal printing of the HP Color LaserJet 3000/3600/3800 User Guide. When you select User Guide Print Settings, all of the settings are restored to the default settings, except for the following settings: ON, ON, Booklet OFF, Pages per Sheet 2, Page Order - "Right, then Down" ● Print On Both Sides is set to On ● Flip Pages Up is set to On ● Booklet Layout is set to Off ● Pages per Sheet is set to 2 ● Page Order is set to Right then Down Paper Options The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following figure shows the Paper Options group box and the selections available by default. ENWW Paper/Quality tab features 73 Figure 3-3 Paper Options group box (default) The appearance of the Paper Options group box changes when the Use different paper for: check box is selected. For convenience, the settings in the Paper Options group box are described in the following order: HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows ● Size is ● Source Is ● Type is ● Use Different Paper For ● Custom Size is The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes. NOTE When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units. You can specify size for all of the settings in the Paper Options group box. When you set the media size in the driver, the entire print-job output uses that media size. That is, if the print job uses Letter-size media, any option that you select from the available Use different paper for: options must also use Letter-size media. 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 Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes within a single document. When you change the print-driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or choose another tray. For information about media sizes, see the Media attributes section of this manual. 74 Chapter 3 HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows ENWW When the Use different paper for: check box is selected and different options are configured, the Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: menus change, offering a variety of options. For more information, see Use Different Paper For. Custom The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom button on the Paper/ Quality tab. The following figure 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 paper-size selection on the Paper/Quality tab: ● If the paper-size selection is a previously defined custom size, then the drop-down menu contains the name of that custom size. ● If the paper-size selection is a standard media size, then the drop-down menu shows the default name Custom 1 – 5 for a custom media size. NOTE In Windows 98 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 by 11 inches). 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 Save, Delete, or Rename section. 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. ENWW Paper/Quality tab features 75 HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows NOTE The Custom button is not available when Use different paper for: is selected and any setting other than First page is also selected. 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 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 "Custom 1 – 5." ● 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 can 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. Save, Delete, or Rename HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows The dynamic command button located under the Name drop-down menu has three possible labels: Save, Delete, and 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 dropdown 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. Table 3-2 Name drop-down menu text strings 76 State Drop-down menu contents Button label Action Next state 1 Custom 1 – 5 Save Click Save. 3 Type something into the Name drop-down menu. 2 Change the width or height values. 1 Chapter 3 HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows ENWW State 2 3 4 Drop-down menu contents Button label Save Delete Rename Action Next state Select a saved item from the drop-down menu. 3 Click Save. 3 Type something into the Name drop-down menu. 2 Change the width or height values. 2 Select a saved item from the drop-down menu. 3 Click Delete. 1 Type something into the Name drop-down menu. 4 Change the width or height values. 1 Select a saved item from the drop-down menu. 3 Click Rename (when the name is unique). 3 Click Rename (when the name is a duplicate). 4 Type something into the Name drop-down menu. 4 Change the width or height values. 2 Select a saved item from the drop-down menu. 3 Custom size (width and height controls) The width and height values can be changed either by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes, or by using the up and down arrows. The paper and envelope icons visually define width and height. Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. See Custom width and height control limits. If units are in millimeters, the custom media-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom media-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and height entries are validated when the focus has changed. The resolution of each control is one millimeter or one-tenth of an inch, depending on the current measurement units. Clicking the up and down arrows increases or decreases the current value by the increment amount (within the allowed range of values). The computer determines the rate at which the values change. Unit indicator labels change dynamically to indicate inches or millimeters, depending on the measurement units the driver is currently using. To change measurement units, click the dynamic Measurement Units button (either Use Inches or Use Metric).

The default setting in the entry box is 100% of the normal size. The 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 printer. The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside 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 document preview image, which increases or decreases from the upper-left corner of the preview. HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator is dragged, and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the scale by 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%. 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. Or, type the value into the entry box. 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.

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 in a different font or 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. 94 Chapter 3 HP Traditional host-based driver for Windows ENWW Message Angle Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations on the page.

Right-click the printer name. 5. Click Properties. 6. Click the Basics tab. The Basics tab provides options for setting the number of copies to be printed and for the orientation of the print job. You can also use it to retrieve information about the driver.

Print Task Quick Sets are either preset (by the administrator) or user-defined printing specifications, such as media size and pages per sheet. For more information, see Paper/Quality tab features. 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. The three available orientations are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait. NOTE Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation. ● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media. ● Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the media. HP Traditional hostbased driver for Windows The Orientation group box contains three options: You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image. Page order Use the options in the Page order group box to determine the order in which your print job will print. The following options are available: ● Front to back. Use this option to print page one of your print job first. ● Back to front. Use this option to print page one of your print job last. Copies Use the Copies option to specify the number of copies to print. The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies group box. You can select the number by typing in the Copy Count text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999 for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the Basics tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the box. 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. ENWW Basics tab features 99 Use the Collate check box option to when you want to produce multiple collated copies of your print job. When collated, pages print consecutively for each copy of the document. When not collated, copies of each page print together. This setting is not synchronized with the collate setting in the software program Print dialog box. Settings in the software program override settings in the print driver. For instance, when using Microsoft Word, the Collate check box in the Print dialog box is selected by default. However, in the print driver, the Collate check box in the Basics tab is not selected by default. The software program setting takes precedence over the driver setting, and the printed output is collated by default. To obtain uncollated printed output, clear the Collate setting in both the driver and the software program. Similarly, if the Collate check box is selected in the driver, but the Collate setting is not enabled in the software program, the printed output is uncollated. Document preview image The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of all of the Properties driver tabs except the About and Device Settings tabs (the Paper/Quality, Finishing, Effects, Basics, and Color tabs).

You can control print jobs from several places: the product control panel, the software program print dialog box, and the driver user interface. Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (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, in turn, override product control-panel settings. NOTE For a comparison of features between the HP Traditional host-based driver and the HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver in various operating systems, see the Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems section of this manual. When you install the print-system software in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, the HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver is installed by default. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows The following sections describe the options that are available on each tab of the HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver. This chapter contains the following sections: ENWW ● Access to print drivers ● Help system ● Advanced tab features ● Paper/Quality tab features ● Effects tab features ● Finishing tab features ● Color tab features ● Services tab ● Device Settings ● About tab Introduction 107 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. You can also control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. Here you have access to two sets of driver tabs: the Printing Preferences tabs and the Properties tabs. The settings that you make on the Printing Preferences driver tabs control the driver default settings for each user's profile. Installable options can be configured in Properties driver tabs. Printing Preferences driver tabs The Printing Preferences driver tabs change the default settings that are used across all software programs. To gain access to these tabs, follow these steps: 1. Click Start. 2. Select Settings. 3. Click Printers (Windows 2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home). 4. Right-click the product name. 5. Click Printing Preferences. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows The following Printing Preferences print-driver tabs are available: ● Advanced ● Paper/Quality ● Effects ● Finishing ● Color ● Services Properties driver tabs This set of tabs controls the driver behavior and driver connections. To gain access to the Properties tabs, follow these steps: 108 1. Click Start. 2. Select Settings. Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW 3. Click Printers (Windows 2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home). 4. Right-click the product name. 5. Click Properties. The following Properties print-driver tabs are available: General ● Sharing ● Ports ● Advanced ● Color Management ● Security ● Device Settings ● About HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows ● ENWW Access to print drivers 109 Help system The HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options. What's this? Help Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 support "What's this?" Help. 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 in 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 Print Settings messages Incompatible print settings might produce unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific selections. These messages alert you that the selections are illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the printer or the current settings of other controls. NOTE Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept some settings that are illogical or impossible for the printer to perform. Sending a job with incompatible settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check the product documentation for the product capabilities. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows In Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations result in warning messages. Duplexing, for instance, is not possible when the Transparency media type is selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print Settings message. Figure 4-1 An Incompatible Print Settings message 110 Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW Clicking the Resolve all conflicts for me automatically option button and then 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. If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click I will resolve the conflict myself and then click OK. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows NOTE In this example, the conflict can be resolved manually. If the conflict is not resolved when the driver is closed, then the same dialog appears again when a print job is sent to the product. ENWW Help system 111 Advanced tab features To gain access to the Advanced tab, follow these steps: 1. click Start. 2. Select Settings. 3. Click Printers (Windows 2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home). 4. Right-click the product name. 5. Click Printing Preferences. 6. Click the Advanced tab. You can use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special controls that are not commonly used, as well as to control features such as media size and copies in the driver (although most current software programs support these features in the print dialog box or through the page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the Advanced tab. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Figure 4-2 The default appearance of the Advanced tab The Advanced tab contains the following controls: ● 112 Paper/Output Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW ● Graphic ● Document Options Paper/Output The Paper/Output setting contains the Copy Count control. Copy Count Copy Count specifies the number of copies to print. This driver setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available in the software program, set the copy count in the software program. The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count option. You can select the number by typing in the box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999 for the HP Color LaserJet 3600. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) when the down arrow is used. When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed to the last valid value that appeared in the box. 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 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. The Collated check box is visible when the Copy Count setting is selected. The check box becomes available and can be changed when the Copy Count setting is greater than 1. When collated, pages print consecutively for each copy of the document. When not collated, copies of each page print together. This setting is not synchronized with the collate setting in the software program Print dialog box. Settings in the software program override settings in the print driver. For instance, when using Microsoft Word, the Collate check box in the Print dialog box is selected by default. However, in the print driver, the Collated check box in the Advanced tab is not selected by default. The software program setting takes precedence over the driver setting, and the printed output is collated by default. To obtain uncollated printed output, clear the Collate setting in both the driver and the software program. Similarly, if the Collated check box is selected in the driver, but the Collate setting is not enabled in the software program, the printed output is uncollated. Graphic The Graphic setting contains the Image Color Management controls. Image Color Management This control lists the available Image Color Management (ICM) options used for printing color graphics. ICM, a set of calculations for color matching, makes it possible for programs to adjust colors before ENWW Advanced tab features 113 HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Collated printing so that the color of images on the screen more closely match the color of those images when they are printed. The following options are available: ● ● ICM Method. The ICM Method setting specifies how to print your color graphics. ● To enable Image Color Management, click the option and then select ICM Enabled. ● If you want the host computer to perform calculations for color matching before it sends the document to the product, click ICM Handled by Host System. ● If you want the HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer to perform calculations for color matching, click ICM Handled by Printer. In this case, a set of rules for mapping the colors is created and downloaded to the product. The product uses these rules to adjust colors in the document. ● If you want the printer to perform calculations for color matching, click ICM Handled by Printer by using printer calibration. Because the set of rules for mapping the colors has already been downloaded to the product (which must be postscript language level 2 or higher), they will not be created or downloaded again. ICM Intent. The ICM Intent setting specifies how color images are created to produce the image that looks best on the printed page. ● If you are printing a chart or using fully saturated, bright colors, click Graphics. ● For photographs or pictures where the colors blend together, click Pictures to maximize the contrast. ● If your document uses a color that you need to match exactly, and you are sending the document to a product that has that specific color of ink, click Proof. ● If you want to preview the color settings from another product, click Match. Document Options The Document Options setting contains the following controls: HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows ● Advanced Printing Features ● Printer Features ● Layout Options Advanced Printing Features When the Advanced Printing Features setting is Enabled, metafile spooling is turned on and Finishing tab options such as Page Order, Booklet Layout, and Pages per Sheet are available, depending on your printer. For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features setting at the default (Enabled). If compatibility problems occur, you can disable the feature. However, some advanced printing features might still be available in the print driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced printing feature in the print driver that has been disabled on the Advanced tab, the feature is automatically re-enabled. Printer Features The Printer Features setting contains the Raster Compression control. 114 Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics-compression method: ● Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use. ● Best Quality. This option forces the software to use a lossless compression method. (Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.) ● Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this option requires the software to always use a lossy compression method (some data is lost). Layout Options The Layout Options setting contains the Page Order setting. Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back prints the document so that page 1 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1 prints last. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows NOTE The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of media rather than on individual logical pages. Accordingly, if you set Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) to be greater than one, the ordering of logical pages on a physical sheet of media does not change. ENWW Advanced tab features 115 Paper/Quality tab features To gain access to the Paper/Quality tab, follow these steps: 1. click Start. 2. Select Settings. 3. Click Printers (Windows 2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home). 4. Right-click the product name. 5. Click Printing Preferences. 6. Click the Paper/Quality tab. Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify the size, type, and source of the media. You can also use this tab to indicate different media-selection choices for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, and back cover of the document. The following figure shows the Paper/Quality tab. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Figure 4-3 Paper/Quality tab 116 Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW The Paper/Quality tab contains the following controls: ● Print Task Quick Sets ● Paper Options ● Document preview image Print Task Quick Sets The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the Paper/Quality tab affects most of the Printing Preferences driver tabs (the Paper/Quality, Effects, Finishing, and Color tabs) 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 (except the Advanced andServices tabs, where the setting is not available). 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. 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. The following selections are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu: ● Default Print Settings ● User Guide 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. Type a new Quick Set name here appears in the Print Task 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 Print Task Quick Sets menu is the same label that appeared when you last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking OK.

Paper Options The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the pages of the document. The following figure shows the Paper Options group box and the selections that are available by default. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Figure 4-4 Paper Options group box The appearance of the Paper Options group box changes when the Use Different Paper/Covers check box is selected. The settings in the Paper Options group box are described in the following order: 120 ● Size is ● Custom Paper Size ● Source Is ● Type is ● Use Different Paper/Covers Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW Size is The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes. When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units. Because media-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to use the driver to set media size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include 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 Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes within a single document. When you change the print-driver setting to a media size that is not currently loaded in the product, a control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the media size or choose another tray. For information about media sizes, see the Media attributes section of this manual. When the Use Different Paper/Covers check box is selected and different options are configured, the Size is:, Source is:, and Type is: menus change, offering a variety of options. For more information, see the Use Different Paper/Covers section in this chapter of the manual. Custom Paper Size HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click the Custom... button on the Paper/ Quality tab. The following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box. Figure 4-5 Custom Paper Size dialog box Name Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom media size. ENWW Paper/Quality tab features 121 The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions: ● If a saved custom media size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/ Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom media size. ● If a standard media size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box shows the default name of "Custom." ● If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is saved or the dialog box is closed. If you type a new name into the Name text box, but then do not click the Save button, you can change the width and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking the Save button, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning. Paper size The width and height values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes in the Paper Size group box. Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. If units are in millimeters, the custom media-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. The custom media-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and height entries are validated when the focus has changed. The resolution of each control is one millimeter or one-tenth of an inch, depending on the current measurement units. Units HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows To change measurement units, select one of the radio buttons in the Units group box (either Inches or Millimeters). Custom width and height control limits The minimum media size for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) and the maximum is 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

The list of source trays depends on the printer accessories. Any optional source trays that are installed through the Device Settings tab also appear here. The Source is: drop-down menu can contain the following options, depending on what has been installed on the product: ● Automatically select ● Printer Auto Select ● Manual Feed in Tray 1 ● Tray 1 (500-sheet multipurpose tray) ● Tray 2 (500-sheet tray) ● Tray 3 (500-sheet tray) The default setting is Automatically Select. When this setting is selected, the HP Color LaserJet 3600 uses the source tray that supports the media size that you have selected. If you select a source tray other than Automatically select, make sure that the correct media size is loaded in the source tray. For information about media sources, see the Media attributes section of this manual. The Type is: drop-down menu shows all of the media types that the HP Color LaserJet 3600 supports. When you use the default setting, Unspecified, the printer uses the default media type, which is usually Plain. No mechanism exists for manually adding custom media types through the driver. Custom types can be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information an updated list of media types is returned. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom media types that have been saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom media types are available through the driver.

Right-click the product name. 5. Click Printing Preferences. 6. Click the Effects tab. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Use the Effects tab to create unique media effects such as scaling and watermarks. The following figure shows the Effects tab. Figure 4-11 Effects tab The Effects tab contains the following controls: ENWW ● Print Task Quick Sets group box ● Resizing Options group box Effects tab features 131 ● Document preview image ● Watermarks group box Print Task Quick Sets Use the Print Task Quick Sets control to store the current combination of driver settings that appear on all other Printing Preferences driver tabs. Print task quick sets are either preset or user-defined printing specifications, such as media size and pages per sheet. For more information, see the Paper/ Quality tab features section of this manual. Resizing options The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls: ● Actual Size (default) ● Print Document On setting ● Scale to Fit option ● % of Normal Size setting Actual Size Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size. Print Document On Select the Print Document On radio button to format the document for one media size and then print the document on a different media size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new media size. The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions: HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows ● The % of Normal Size value is not 100. ● The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1. 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 are supported by the selected media source and any custom sizes that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected media. Scale to Fit 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 figure shows preview images for a document formatted for Legal-size media with the Print Document On check box selected, and the target size specified as Letter. 132 Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW Figure 4-12 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 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% 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 printer. The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside 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). 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 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%. 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 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 Document preview image The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text.

You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking on the image. ENWW Effects tab features 133 HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upperleft corner of the preview. Watermarks 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 that is 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)". 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. HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Figure 4-13 Watermark Details dialog box 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 are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled. 134 Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW Current watermarks The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined watermarks that are 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 you reach the limit of 30 watermarks, the New button is disabled. 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). Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations on the page. All settings center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. The following settings are available: ● Diagonal. This is the default setting. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. ● Horizontal. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. ● Custom. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page.

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 3600dn printer comes with a duplexing unit installed. These printer models support 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 transparencies, and the following media types: ● Prepunched ● Preprinted ● Letterhead When the media type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled. ENWW Finishing tab features 139 HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows The default setting for the Print on Both Sides option is off (not selected). Print on Both Sides is available when the following conditions exist: 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 print the media with the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used with each media type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic. Manually printing on both sides ● Manually Print on 2nd Side is not selected Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the media for the HP Color LaserJet 3600 and HP Color LaserJet 3600n printer models, which do not have a duplexing unit installed. Also select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer models for media types that are not available when using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick media. Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, or the PS emulation unidriver. If a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the printer automatically prints on both sides of media types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, 8.5 x 13, and Executive (JIS) only), and forces manual printing on both sides for media types that are not supported. Select the media type that corresponds to the media you are using for the print job. The following media types have a different print modes when you manually print on the second side: HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows ● Plain ● Preprinted ● Letterhead ● Prepunched ● Bond ● Recycled ● Colored ● Rough NOTE To make the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box available in the document options, select the Allow Manual Duplexing option on the Device Settings tab in the Properties print-driver tabs.

Table 4-4 Page orientation Orientation (Finishing tab) Flip Pages Up selected Flip Pages Up not selected Portrait Short-edge binding Long-edge binding Landscape Long-edge binding Short-edge binding When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together. ENWW Finishing tab features 141 HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows When you have completed the steps that appear in the dialog box, the second half of the print job prints on the back side of the stack of media. The driver does not require the program to specifically support odd- and even-page printing, because the driver coordinates this function. Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a note pad. Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book. Booklet layout The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices that are based on the current media size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the media size that is set on the Paper/Quality tab. ● Left Edge Binding ● Right Edge Binding When you select Left Edge Binding or Right Edge Binding, the document preview image changes to show the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically changes to 2 pages per sheet.

The document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the following Printing Preferences driver tabs: ● Paper/Quality ● Effects ● Finishing ● Color Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image. 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. The three available orientations are portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait. NOTE Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation. The Orientation group box contains three options: HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows ● Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the media. ● Landscape.

General Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of three components: Adaptive Halftoning, Trapping, and Color Resolution Enhancement technology (C-REt). Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. C-REt increases the apparent resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges. The Edge Control option offers four settings: ● Off. The Off setting turns Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt to Off. ● Light. The Light setting provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On and C-REt is set to On. ● Normal. The Normal setting provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On, and C-REt is set to On. ● Maximum. The Maximum setting provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On, and C-REt is set to On. Document preview image The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text.

Figure 4-19 Device Settings tab The Device Settings tab contains controls for media-handling devices and controls for managing the HP Color LaserJet 3600. The Device Settings tab contains the following controls: ENWW ● Form to Tray Assignment options ● Installable Options options Device Settings 151 HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows Available options depend on the feature. The following figure shows the Device Settings tab. Form to Tray Assignment A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the media size in each input tray. The HP Color LaserJet 3600 supports more than one source of media. You can assign a form (which defines the media size and margins) to each media source. When a form is matched to a source, you can select the form when you print. The product prints from the tray to which that form is assigned. Network administrators can use the Form to Tray Assignment setting to specify, in the driver, the media size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are available in the media-size list on the Paper/Quality tab in the Printing Preferences driver tabs. This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the printer with media-mount messages that occur when users request sizes or types that are not available. The trays listed in the Form to Tray Assignment setting include standard trays and optional accessory trays. Generally, items that are installed separately have a separate Installable Options setting. The input trays listed here are also listed as media sources on the Paper/Quality tab. Configuring the trays 1. Select the appropriate tray in the Form to Tray Assignment list. 2. Use the drop-down menu to select the media size (or form) that is loaded in that tray. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the remaining trays. 4. Click OK to enable your settings, or, if necessary, click the Cancel button to reconfigure all the trays, and remove the size and type constraints that have been imposed on the Paper/Quality tab. Installable Options HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows This section provides information to configure the printing options that you can install for the HP Color LaserJet 3600. The following controls are available: ● Automatic Configuration (Off by default) ● Tray 3 ● Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) ● Allow Manual Duplexing ● Printer Memory Automatic Configuration Use the Device Settings tab to tell the driver about the hardware configuration of the product. If bidirectional communication is enabled in a supported environment, set up this tab by selecting the Update Now setting in the Automatic Configuration setting. The default setting is Off. After an automatic configuration, the setting returns to Off after the changes are made. If your environment does not support bidirectional communication, the Update Now setting is unavailable, so you must manually configure the options on this tab. 152 Chapter 4 HP JetReady 4.2 host-based driver for Windows ENWW If you have more than one driver installed on your product, the Update Now feature works automatically only on the driver on which it is activated. The other driver will not be updated, and might show the default setting for your product model. Tray 3 This control specifies whether you have tray 3, an additional 500-sheet tray, installed on your product. The default setting is Not Installed. Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing) The HP Color LaserJet 3600dn printer models comes with a duplex unit installed. This setting is enabled (Installed) by default. NOTE These printer models support smart duplexing. The product uses the smart duplexing feature to detect information on both sides of the print job pages and only runs the pages through the duplexing unit if there is printable information on the second side of the page. Allow Manual Duplexing Select Allow Manual Duplexing to print on both sides of any size and most types of media (except transparencies, envelopes, and labels). To use this feature, you must reinsert the media stack into the input tray to print the second side. The product pauses while you make this adjustment. This setting is enabled by default. Printer Memory HP JetReady 4.2 hostbased driver for Windows This option matches the setting to the amount of memory that is installed in the product. The driver generates ranges of memory that can be selected, up to the maximum that the product can accept. The driver can use this information to manage how the print driver uses the product memory.

Point and Print is a Microsoft term that describes a two-step driver installation process. The first step is to install a shared driver on a network print server. The second step is to "point" to the print server from a network client so that the client can use the print driver. This section outlines the procedures for installing print drivers by using Point and Print. If these procedures are not successful, contact Microsoft. To install the print driver on a Windows 2000,Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating system, you must have administrator privileges. To completely install the Windows 2000 print driver on the Windows 2000 server, you must have administrator privileges on the server. The Windows 2000 Printer .INF file must contain the same product name as the Windows 98 or Windows Me printer .INF file. Point and Print installation of a postscript driver is supported only with a Microsoft Windows 98 or Windows Me PS Driver V4.0 or later. In a homogenous operating system environment (one in which all of the clients and servers running the same operating system), the same print driver version that is vended from the server to the clients in a Point and Print environment also runs and controls the print queue configuration on the server. ENWW Installation instructions 199 Installation in Windows Hewlett-Packard provides drivers that are compatible with the Point and Print feature, but this is a function of the Microsoft operating systems, not of HP print drivers. Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 drivers from HP are supported only on Intel X86 processor types. However, in a mixed operating system environment (one in which servers and clients might run on different operating systems), conflicts can occur when client computers run a version of the print driver that is different from the one on the print server. In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows 2000 and continuing with all future operating systems, print drivers would run as user-mode processes. Usermode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal end-user processes and software programs. A user-mode print driver that functions incorrectly can terminate (or “crash”) only the process in which it is running, — not the whole operating system. Because access to critical system resources is restricted, overall operating system stability is increased. Setting a default printer This section applies to the Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Installation in Windows 200 1. In Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 operating systems, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers. In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click Start, click Control Panel, click Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional) or Printers and other hardware devices (Windows XP Home). 2.

The program then attaches relevant log or history files to an e-mail that can be sent to HP Customer Support to assist troubleshooting. The utility runs on the computer, but does not interact with your HP LaserJet product. The tool is included on the installer CD, but is not copied to the computer during the software installation. HP Customer Support can also send the utility to you through e-mail or by posting it to an HP web page. The tool is compatible with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Engineering Details The File to E-mail utility runs with any MAPI-compliant e-mail programs. It does not run with Web-based e-mail services such as Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL. Depending on the speed of the computer, it might take several seconds for the utility to gather the log files and attach them to an e-mail message. The File to E-mail utility consists of two files that are located on the HP Color LaserJet 3600 software CD: ● Temp\FiletoEmail\FileToEmail.exe ● Temp\FiletoEmail\FileToEmail.ini To use the File to E-mail utility, copy these files to the desktop, navigate to them in Explorer, and then double-click FileToEmail.exe to open the utility. The utility generates files, opens an e-mail message, and attaches the files so that you can send them to an IT administrator, as shown in the following figure. NOTE The figure is provided as an example only. The actual files attached will vary, depending on your product. 218 Chapter 7 Engineering Details ENWW Engineering Details Figure 7-1 File to E-mail – sample e-mail message with files attached If the File to E-mail utility fails for any reason (for instance, if you cancel the new message), all the files are copied to a folder on the desktop that is named CCC, possibly with strings of 0's attached to the end. You can zip these files and e-mail them separately.

Chapter 7 Engineering Details ENWW Remote firmware update The HP Color LaserJet 3600 features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the latest printing-system software and print drivers. 1. Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the printer. 2. Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to your computer. 3. Download the new firmware to the product. Determining the current level of firmware To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration page, follow these instructions. (the select button; the one with the check mark) to open the menus. 1. Press 2. Press and to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press 3. Press and to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION. 4. Press 5. Look in the "Printer Information" section on the configuration page for the firmware date code. The firmware date code looks something like this: 20051002 07.000.0. . to print the configuration page. Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site The remote firmware update (.RFU) file and an associated readme file are packaged together as a selfextracting .EXE file. For detailed instructions about how to download the .EXE file, go to the following URL: www.hp.com/go/clj3600_firmware The .EXE file consists of a readme file and the .RFU file. NOTE For UNIX systems, the remote firmware update file is a .TAR file. Downloading the new firmware to the product For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to www.hp.com/support/ clj3600. The product can receive an RFU update to a product when the product is in a READY state. The product waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update. NOTE If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings. The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts. ENWW Remote firmware update 225 Engineering Details The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps: The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the product to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the host computer that is sending the update and the I/O method (parallel or network). The reinitialization time depends on the specific hardware configuration of the product, such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper-handling devices, and the amount of memory that is installed. Finally, any print jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are printed before the update is processed. Use one of the methods described in this manual to update your product firmware. Engineering Details Printer messages during the firmware update The following table lists the causes and results of possible interruptions to the firmware update. Table 7-7 Troubleshooting a firmware update Cause Result The job was cancelled from the control panel. No update has occurred. A break in the I/O stream occurred during send (for example, the parallel cable was removed). No update has occurred. A power cycle occurred during the RECEIVING UPGRADE process. No update has occurred. A power cycle occurred during the PERFORMING UPGRADE process. No update has occurred. Resend the update through a parallel port. A power cycle occurred during the INITIALIZING process. The update has been completed. Print jobs that are sent to the product while an update is in process do not interrupt the update. All HP LaserJet products leave the factory with the most recent firmware version installed. If a remote firmware update fails in a Windows OS, the .RFU file must be resent. For more information, see Table 7-9 Update messages. If a remote firmware update fails in a Macintosh OS, contact support from an HP Customer Care Center. The following table lists possible reasons for the failure of a remote firmware update and the corrective action required for each situation. Table 7-8 Troubleshooting a firmware update failure 226 Reason for firmware update failure Corrective action The .RFU file is corrupted. The product recognizes that the file is corrupted and rejects the update. Download the file again and send the new file to the product. Download the file from www.hp.com/go/clj3600_firmware. The wrong product is contained in the .RFU file. The product recognizes the printer mismatch and rejects the update. Download the correct file and send it to the product. Download the file from www.hp.com/go/ clj3600_firmware. Chapter 7 Engineering Details ENWW Table 7-8 Troubleshooting a firmware update failure (continued) Reason for firmware update failure Corrective action The upgrade was interrupted.
