Driver configuration for Windows
The HP print drivers 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, optional
paper trays, printer hard disk, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Driver autoconfiguration
Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the
following circumstances:
●

When a print driver is installed by using the installer

●

When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed

However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and Update Now are not available
in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
operating systems over a direct connection (USB) when the product is installed by using the Add Printer
Wizard.
Table 1-6 Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication1

Add Printer Wizard install

Common installer

Network

The table applies to Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

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 paper is available or what
accessories are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network
operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. 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 the
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.

14

Chapter 1 Product basics and Windows software description

ENWW

If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the
pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectionalcommunication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the
print driver with the actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or
whenever the Update Now feature is used.
If the product configuration 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 on page 15.

Update Now
If you have modified the configuration of the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603
Series Printer product 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.
For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, 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 the Device Settings tab.
NOTE: Depending on which settings were updated, the Update Now feature might change the
configuration information that displays on the print-driver tabs, instead of (or in addition to) changing
the information on the Device Settings tab.
NOTE: The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows XP clients
are connected to Windows XP hosts.
To activate the Update Now feature, follow these steps:
1.

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, click the Start button, click the Control Panel item, click the
Hardware and Sound item, and then click the Printers item.
In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, click the Start button, click
the Settings item, and then open the Printers and Faxes item.

Driver configuration for Windows

15

HP Driver Configuration
HP Driver Configuration 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 Configuration, 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 Configuration 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:
●

Product settings

●

Printing-preferences settings

The driver is configured to match the product hardware so that 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 Configuration configures the driver to match the accessories that are 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 configuration process consists of three basic steps:
●

Driver acquisition

●

Driver configuration

●

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 driver configuration process 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 deployment and
installation of the driver entirely up to the user. The following tools support driver preconfiguration:
●

HP Driver Configuration Utility. The HP Driver Configuration Utility 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) and Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary
Windows software program is used.
The HP Driver Configuration Utility is available at the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/dcu
◦

16

HP Driver Deployment Utility. The HP Driver Deployment Utility (HP DDU) was created
to simplify the deployment of print drivers onto a client computer. It is a simple utility that
packages the print-driver files, and the code needed to deploy them, into two files: an .EXE

Chapter 1 Product basics and Windows software description

ENWW

file and a .CAB file. These files are run on the client computer to copy the print-driver files to
the Windows driver store and, for network packages, to install the product. This utility is
supported on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008,
and Windows Vista operating systems.
●

HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queue-creation
program that can be used to create printer queues on Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration 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. HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration is limited to Internet Explorer browsers.
Netscape Navigator is not supported.
HP Web Jetadmin is supported by the following:
◦

Windows XP (Professional only)

◦

Windows Server 2003 (R2 only)

◦

Windows Server 2008

◦

Windows Vista (Business and Enterprise Editions)

◦

Windows 7

The HP Web Jetadmin print management features are supported by the following:
◦

Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2 or higher)

◦

Windows Server 2003

To gain access to the HP DDU, insert the software CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then navigate to the
Driver Deployment Utility folder.

HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series
Printer PCL 6 Print Driver for, Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), Windows Server
2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
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
paper 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.
When you install the printing-system software in Windows, the HP PCL 6 Print Driver is installed by
default through the installer. The HP PS Universal Print Driver and the HP PCL 5 Universal Print Driver
and the HP PCL 6 Universal Print Driver can be installed by downloading the software from the Web.

Help system
The HP PCL 6 Print Driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and
configuration options.

HP Printer Help
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
support HP Printer Help . You can gain access to HP Printer Help messages in any of the following
ways:
●

Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears.

●

Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key. The Help window for the currently selected
control appears.

Incompatible Print Settings messages
Incompatible Print Settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in
response to specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or
impossible given the product capabilities 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 product 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.
In supported Windows operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations
result in warning messages. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency paper type
is selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print Settings message.
Figure 3-1 An Incompatible Print Settings message

To resolve the conflicting settings, click Restore my previous settings., and then click OK. The
driver resets the conflicting control back to its previous state.
If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click Keep this setting, and I will change it later.,
and then click OK.
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.

The number of copies that you request appears in the Copy Count option. You can select the number
by typing in the 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. 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 text 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 text 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, whenever possible.
When the Copy Count option is set to more than 1, the Collated check box becomes available.
Select this check box when you want the product to collate (collect and combine in proper order) the
printed copies. Most current software programs support the collating feature in the print dialog box or
through the page settings in the software program.

Graphic
The Graphic setting contains the following control:
●

True Type Font settings

True Type Font
Use Substitute with Device Font (the default setting) to print documents that contain TrueType fonts
by using equivalent printer based fonts. This permits faster printing; however, you might lose special
characters that the equivalent printer based font does not support. Select Download as Softfont to
download TrueType fonts for printing instead of using printer based fonts.

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 product.
Enhanced metafile spooling is used to greatly reduce the amount of time that elapses between a request
to print (initiated by an application) and the return of control to the application by the operating system.
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 appear 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.

Print Optimizations
The default setting for Print Optimizations is Enabled. When this feature is enabled and your
document contains overlapping text and graphics, the text that is placed on top of a graphic might not
print correctly. If the printed output is not correct, you can disable this feature. When this feature is
disabled, print optimization-features, such as substituting device fonts for TrueType fonts and scanning
for horizontal and vertical rules, are turned off.

Printer Features
The Printer Features setting contains the following controls:
●

Print All Text as Black
The feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black
regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text,
which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark
background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text
that is part of a graphic.

●

Send True Type as Bitmap
Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for software programs that have trouble
using TrueType fonts for special graphic aspects such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting
is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to bitmap soft fonts before
downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as
outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.

●

Alternative Letterhead Mode
When selected, this option eliminates the need to flip or reload letterhead or preprinted paper in a
tray, whether you are printing on one or both sides of the sheet. Load the paper as you would for
printing on both sides. If the product tray has an icon that indicates whether to load paper either
face-up or face-down, load the paper in opposite orientation of that shown.

ENWW

Advanced tab features

57

When this option is selected, you must use one of the following options in the Paper type
setting:
◦

Letterhead

◦

Preprinted

NOTE: Because Alternative Letterhead Mode is available only if the product is equipped
with an automatic duplexing unit, the the base model (HP Laserjet Enterprise 601n) does not
support this option.

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.
NOTE: The page-ordering operation works on whole sheets of paper 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 paper does not change.

Paper sizes
The Paper sizes setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper 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 paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to
use the driver to set paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include
a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not
require different paper sizes.
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes
within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.

Figure 3-7 Custom Paper Size dialog box

NOTE: The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product supports
custom paper sizes from 3 inches in length and 5 inches in width up to 14 inches in length and 8.5
inches in width. The driver will be updated to enable printing to the maximum size.
Name
Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size. When you change the name to
something other than Custom, the Save and OK buttons become active.
The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:
●

If a saved custom paper 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 paper size.

●

If a standard paper 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 Save, you can change the
width and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking
Save, 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 paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest
whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole
millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the minimum value. Width and height entries are
validated when the focus has changed.
The resolution of each control is 1 millimeter or 1/10 of an inch, depending on the current
measurement units.
Supported paper sizes
This product supports a number of paper sizes, and it adapts to various media.

No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types through the driver. Use HP Web
Jetadmin to add custom paper types. Custom types can be added only by using bidirectional
communication, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If
bidirectional communication is enabled, then an updated list of paper types is returned. If bidirectional
communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types that have been saved from
a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are
available through the driver.
NOTE: To download a current version of HP Web Jetamin and for the latest list of supported host
systems, go to the following Web site:

EconoMode check box
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less
toner and decrease the cost per page. However, using EconoMode also can reduce print quality.
HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply
might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these
circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.

Actual Size
Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size.

Print Document On
Click the Print Document On option to format the document for one paper size and then print the
document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●

The % of Actual 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 paper sizes on which you
can print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports 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 paper.

Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target paper 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 paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document
image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following figure shows

preview images for a document formatted for Legal-size paper with the Print Document On check
box selected, and the target size specified as Letter.
Figure 3-11 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 paper size.

% of Actual Size
The % of Actual Size option provides a slider bar and input box to use for scaling the percentage
setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of actual size. Actual size is defined as the paper
size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the
software program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the
appropriate factor and sends it to the product.
The limits of the range are from 25% 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 page preview, which increases or decreases from the upperleft corner of the preview.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the slider-bar indicator is
dragged, and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the
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 slider-bar indicator. Instead, either use the sliderbar indicator to approximate the value that you want and then use the arrows to refine the value, or
type the value into the entry box.
The following settings disable % of Actual Size:

Watermarks
Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create a new watermark (text only), or edit an
existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver:
●

●

SAMPLE

The Watermarks feature can be configured using the Driver Configuration Utility.
If the [Username] watermark is selected, the driver will use the network username of the logged in
user for the watermark.
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).

Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current
Watermarks list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you
might want several different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font
size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for
example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name
is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).

Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations 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. Use the
numeric spin box to select the angle.

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

Print on both sides automatically
The duplexing unit in the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product
prints on two sides of a sheet of paper when the Print on Both Sides option is specified in the print
job. The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product comes with a
duplexing unit installed in the following models:
●

M601dn

●

HP LaserJet M602

●

HP LaserJet M603

These product 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 paper types support the smart duplexing feature, except for paper types that cannot be printed on
both sides (such as labels, transparencies, and envelopes) and the following paper types:
●

Prepunched

●

Preprinted

●

Letterhead

●

Cardstock

When the paper type is set to Unspecified, the smart duplexing feature is disabled.
To achieve the best print quality when printing on the second side of the page, the product needs to
make adjustments to its print modes. When you select a paper type, you are, in effect, instructing the
product to use a group of settings (such as fuser temperature and print speed) to print the paper with
the best possible quality. This group of settings is known as print mode. A different print mode is used
with each paper type. Print-mode adjustments for the second side of a duplexed page are automatic.
Print on both sides manually
Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box to print on the second side of the paper for
the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601dn, M602dn, M603dn, which does not have a duplexing unit
installed. Also, select Print on Both Sides (Manually) on the other HP LaserJet Enterprise 600
M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product models for paper types that are not available when
using the automatic duplexing unit, such as cardstock and thick paper.
Manually printing on the second side of a page is available when you are using the HP PCL 6 driver. If
a duplexing unit is installed and manual duplexing is enabled in the driver, the product automatically
prints on both sides of paper types that are supported for automatic duplexing (Letter, A4, Legal, and
8.5 x 11 only). For paper types that are not supported for automatic duplexing, a Help message
appears prompting you to configure the driver settings for manual printing on both sides. Manual
printing on both sides does not occur automatically.

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 print-driver
Properties tab set. See Installable Options on page 100.
If you want to print on both sides manually while using paper that is supported for automatic duplexing,
you must select and apply the Not Installed setting on the Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)
option on the Device Settings tab.
Cardstock paper can be manually printed on the second side, but no change occurs to the print mode.
Transparencies and labels should never be manually printed on the second side.
To print a multiple-page document, follow these steps:
1.

Select the Print on Both Sides (Manually) check box.

2.

Click OK. The even-number pages of the document print.

3.

When the control panel shows the MANUALLY FEED message, insert the stack of paper (on
which the even-number pages have been printed) as indicated in the following figure.

Figure 3-14 Print on Both Sides Instructions dialog box

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 paper. The driver does not require the program to specifically
support odd- and even-page printing, because the driver coordinates this function.

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.
Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar.
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 paper 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 paper
size that is set on the Paper/Quality tab:
●

Left Binding

●

Right Binding

When you select Left Binding or Right 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. If you change the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or
16 pages per sheet, the booklet setting is disabled. See Pages per sheet on page 84 for more
information.
Book and Booklet Printing
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer supports book and booklet
printing.
A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages. It can have a different paper type for the front
cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Covers and Print pages on
different paper settings on the Paper/Quality tab to select different paper for the front cover, first
page, other pages, and back cover. For more information, see Paper/Quality tab features on page 61.

A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can then be folded into a
booklet that is half the size of the paper. Use the Booklet Layout drop-down menu on the Finishing
tab to control booklet settings.

Pages per sheet
Use the Pages per sheet option to select the number of pages that you want to print on a single
sheet of paper. If you choose to print more than one page per sheet, the pages appear smaller and are
arranged on the sheet in the order that they would otherwise be printed. The Pages per sheet dropdown menu provides six settings:

The preview document image changes to reflect alterations in these settings.

Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. 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:
●

Printing Shortcuts

●

Paper/Quality

●

Effects

●

Finishing

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 way that paper feeds
into the product. 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 the following options:
●

Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the paper.

●

Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the paper.

●

Rotate by 180 degrees. This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is
rotated 180°. This setting is useful for printing prepunched paper.

You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image. If
you select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box, no change occurs in the document preview
image.

Job Storage tab features
NOTE: The Job Storage tab is located on the Printing preferences tab set or the Properties
tab set.
Use the job-storage feature to store print jobs in the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and
M603 Series Printer product memory or hard disk for printing at a later time.
The Job Storage tab appears among the driver tabs only if the job-storage feature is enabled on the
Device Settings tab. To support job-storage features for complex jobs, or if you often print complex
graphics, print postscript (.PS) documents, or use many downloaded fonts, HP recommends that you
install additional memory, install a hard disk, or both. Added memory also gives you more flexibility in
supporting job-storage features. A minimum total memory of 288 MB is required to use the Proof and
Hold and Personal Job job-storage features. A hard disk is required to use the Quick Copy and
Stored Job job-storage features.
After a hard disk is installed, the driver must be configured to reflect the changes in the product. If
bidirectional communication is enabled in your environment, the Update Now feature can be used to
update the drivers. For more information, see Automatic Configuration on page 101.
To configure the drivers manually after installing a hard disk, follow these steps:
1.

In Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008, click the Start button, click Control
Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers.
In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers

Use the Job Storage Mode options on the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603
Series Printer product to store documents at the product and then control their printing at the product
control panel.
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product offers the following
Job Storage Mode options:
●

Off

●

Proof and Hold

●

Personal Job

●

Quick Copy

●

Stored Job

These options and the settings that control them are described below.

Off
When selected, this option turns the job-storage feature off (it is disabled), which means that the print
job will not be stored in the product.

Proof and Hold
To use the Proof and Hold option, the job-storage feature must be enabled.
When selected, this option stores the print job in memory and prints only the first copy of the job,
allowing you to check the first copy. If the document prints correctly, you can print the remaining copies
of the print job at the control panel. You can set the number of proof-and-hold print jobs that can be
stored in the product at the control panel.

88

Chapter 3 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

NOTE: When using the Proof and Hold option, only one copy of the print job is sent to the printer
even if multiple copies are specified in the software application you print from. If multiple copies are
needed while using the Proof and Hold option, they must be specified at the control panel.
After it is released for printing, the proof-and-hold job is immediately deleted from the product. If more
copies are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second proofand-hold job to the product with the same user name and job name as an existing proof-and-hold job
(and you have not released the original job for printing), the job overwrites the existing job. Proof-andhold jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.
NOTE: The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-and-hold
jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu, and the default is
32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the oldest held document. Also, a
document that has the same user name and job name as one that is already stored on the printer hard
disk will overwrite the existing document.

Personal Job
To use the Personal Job option, the job-storage feature must be enabled.
When you select Personal Job, the print job is sent to the product, but is not printed until you request
the job at the product control panel. Selecting Personal Job activates the Make Job Private/
Secure group box.
If PIN to print is selected in the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box, the print job can be
printed only after you type the correct PIN at the control panel. After the job is printed, the job is
immediately deleted from the product. This feature is useful when you are printing sensitive or
confidential documents that you do not want to leave in an output bin after printing.
The PIN number for Personal Jobs must be exactly four digits (0 though 9). If non-numeric characters
are entered for the PIN number, they disappear from the input field. If more than four characters are
entered for the PIN number, the characters past the fourth are truncated. The default value for the PIN is
0000 for Personal Job.
If Encrypt Job (with password) is selected in the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box,
the print job is sent and stored on the product encyrpted. See Encrypt Job (with password)
on page 91.
After the personal job is released for printing, it is immediately deleted from the product. If more copies
are needed, you must reprint the job from the software program. If you send a second personal job that
has the same user name and job name as an existing personal job (and you have not released the
original job for printing), the job overwrites the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Personal jobs are
deleted if you turn off the product.

Quick Copy
To use the Quick Copy option, a printer hard disk must be installed, and the job-storage feature must
be enabled.
When you select Quick Copy, the entire print job prints and a copy of the print job is stored on the
product, after which you can print additional copies of the print job at the product control panel. The
number of quick-copy print jobs that can be stored in the product is set by using the product control
panel.

NOTE: The product configuration can be set to hold a maximum of 50 quick-copy or proof-and-hold
jobs. The number is set at the product control panel in the CONFIGURATION menu, and the default is
32. When this preset limit is reached, the new document overwrites the oldest held document. Also, a
document that has the same user name and job name as one that is already stored on the printer hard
disk will overwrite the existing document. Quick Copy jobs are deleted if you turn off the product.

Stored Job
To use the Stored Job option, a hard disk must be installed on the product and the job-storage feature
must be enabled.
Use the Stored Job option to send a print job directly to the printer hard disk without printing it. The
print job is stored in the product as if it is an electronic file cabinet. After the print job is stored on the
printer hard disk, you can print the job at the product control panel.
The job remains stored in the product until it is deleted or overwritten by a document that has the same
user name and job name. Stored jobs remain on the printer hard disk when the product is turned off.
Use this feature for forms and other common or shared documents.
A stored job can be managed in two ways: as either a public or a private job.
To make a stored job public, set the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box to None.
To make a stored job private, set the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box to either PIN to
print or Encrypt Job (with password).
Select PIN to print in the Make Job Private/Secure dropdown box to set the private mode
(without encryption). The print job can be printed only after you type the correct, 4–digit PIN at the
control panel. For more information on the PIN to print option, see Personal Job on page 89.
Select Encrypt Job (with password) to set the private mode with encryption. For more information,
see Encrypt Job (with password) on page 91
After the job is printed, the job remains in the product and can be printed again at the product control
panel.
The group box labeled Make Job Private/Secure is usually inactive. The PIN to print and
Encrypt Job (with password) options only become available when you select Stored Job or
Personal Job. If you select PIN to print or Encrypt Job (with password), you must type a PIN
to make the stored job private or else select None.
NOTE: A private stored job is not the same as a personal job. Personal jobs are deleted from the
product after they are printed. Private stored jobs are retained in the product after printing, but require
that a PIN be typed each time they are printed. A printer hard disk is required for Private stored jobs.

Make Job Private/Secure
The Make Job Private/Secure drop-down menu is available when Personal Job or Stored Job
is selected.

supported devices. The print job is sent and stored encrypted, and can only be printed after entering
the password on the device.
Set a password for encrypting a job
1.

Enter a sequence of numeric characters, from 4 to 12 numeric characters in length, in the
Password field.

2.

Confirm the password you entered by retyping it in the Confirm field.
NOTE: The key icon next to the Confirm field will change to green when you correctly retype
your password in the Confirm field.

3.

Select Save as default password to save your password and then click the Apply button.
NOTE: If Save as default password is not selected, the password is not saved even if you

If Save as default password is selected with a password and used to print a job, and then
Save as default password is deselected at a later time, the password will still be used as the
default password.

User Name
Use the User Name settings to help identify the job at the product control panel. The following are the
User Name settings:

ENWW

●

User Name. This option associates your Windows user name with the stored print job. The
Windows user name automatically appears in the text field below the User Name options.

●

Custom. Use this option to type a custom name for the stored print job. When you click
Custom, the text field below the option becomes available. The User Name field can contain
no more than 16 characters, and is limited to A through Z and 0 through 9 because the name
appears on the product control-panel display. If you try to type a lowercase character, it
automatically shifts to uppercase. If you try to type a character in an ASCII code of fewer than 32
or more than 126 characters, the character is removed from the edit field, along with all of the
characters that follow it. If you try to type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is
truncated.

Job Storage tab features

Job Name
Use the Job Name options to specify a name to identify the job at the product control panel. The
following are the Job Name settings:
●

 This option, which is the default selection, automatically generates the job name
that is associated with the stored print job. The file name of the print job is used if it is available to
the print driver. Otherwise, the software program name or a time stamp is used for the job name.

●

Custom. Use this to type a custom job name for the stored print job. When you click Custom,
the text field below the option becomes available. In those languages for which 
cannot be translated without the use of invalid characters, the driver uses a string of three dashes.
The acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string
must be of a length and type that can appear on the product control-panel display.

The Job Name field can contain no more than 16 characters, and is limited to A through Z
(uppercase or lowercase) and 0 through 9 so that the name can appear on the product control-panel
display. If you try to type a character in an ASCII code of fewer than 32 or more than 126 characters,
the character is removed from the edit field, along with all of the characters that follow it. If you try to
type more than 16 characters, any character beyond 16 is truncated.
When the dialog box is closed, or as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the
Tab key is pressed or another control is selected), an empty string is replaced with . The
acceptable characters for job name and user name vary for each operating system. The string must be
of a length and type that can appear on the product control-panel display.
If Job Name Exists. When you store a print job, you can create a print-job name or the product
software can assign one automatically. If a print job with the same name already exists, the new print
job will overwrite the existing print job. To eliminate the chances of a new print job overwriting an old
print job because both have the same name, select Use Job Name + (1-99). After you create the
print job name, or when one is created automatically, the product software assigns a number between
1 and 99 to the end of the print job name to make the name unique. Select Replace Existing File if
you always want the product software to overwrite an existing print job with the same print job name.

Form to Tray Assignment
A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the paper size in each input
tray.
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product supports more than
one source of paper. You can assign a form (which defines the paper size and margins) to each paper
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
paper size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are
available in the paper-size list on the Paper/Quality tab in the Printing preferences driver tabs.

ENWW

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, update 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.
If you have more than one driver installed for the product (for example, the default HP PCL 6 Print
Driver and the HP PCL 5 Universal Print Driver), 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 the specific product model.

Printer Status Notification
When enabled, this option displays a small status-notification window in the lower-right corner of the
screen. This window is visible while printing a document or while viewing the print driver settings. It
provides information about the status of the document being printed as well as information about the
printer, including the current status of the printer supplies.

Tray 3
This control specifies whether you have Tray 3, an additional 500-sheet tray, installed on the product.
Tray 3 comes standard on all HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer
models.

Accessory output bin
Provides an additional output bin that holds 500 sheets.

Duplex Unit (for 2-Sided Printing)
The duplexing unit comes installed on the HP LaserJet M602 and the HP LaserJet M603 product
models.
NOTE: The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer product supports
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 printable information appears on
the second side of the page.

Allow Manual Duplexing
Select Allow Manual Duplexing to print on both sides of any supported size and most types of
paper (except transparencies, envelopes, and labels). To use this feature, you must reinsert the paper
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
Boosts the ability of the product to handle large or complex print jobs. 44 x 32-pin DDR2 memory
DIMM, 512 MB.

Printer Hard Disk
When this option is installed, the Job Storage option and the Mopier Mode are enabled in the
print driver. Use the Job Storage option to store print jobs and then print them later from the control
panel. The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces multiple,
collated copies from a single print job.

Job Storage
When Job Storage is enabled, the product can store print jobs so that you can gain access to those
print jobs later at the control panel.

Secure Printing
The new HP UPD option Encrypt Job (with password) is available for use with this printer and
provides end-to-end secure print job transmission with mutual authentication on the supported devices.
The print job is sent and stored encrypted, and can only be printed after entering the password on the
device.

102

Chapter 3 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

Setting this to disabled results in the setting Encrypt Job not to be listed under Make Job Private/
Secure on the Job Storage tab.
The default is Automatic, enabling the setting to be selected from the Job Storage tab.

Job Separator
Use this control to specify whether a print job identifier page should be printed between print jobs. The
Job Separator feature is disabled by default.

Mopier Mode
The multiple-original print (mopy) function is an HP-designed feature that produces multiple, collated
copies from a single print job. Multiple-original printing (mopying) increases performance and reduces
network traffic by transmitting the job to the product once, and then storing it in memory or on the hard
disk. The remainder of the copies are printed at the fastest speed. All documents that are printed in
mopier mode can be created, controlled, managed, and finished from the computer, which eliminates
the extra step of using a photocopier.
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601, M602, and M603 Series Printer supports the transmit-once
mopying feature when the Mopier Mode: setting on the Device Settings tab is Enabled.
When you use the HP PCL 6 Print Driver, mopying is performed in one of two ways: either through the
software or through the product hardware. When mopier mode is enabled, mopying takes place
through the product hardware. One copy of a multiple-page print job is transmitted once through the
network to the product, together with a printer job language (PJL) command directing the product to
make the specified number of copies.
When you disable mopier mode, you are not necessarily disabling multiple collated copies, which the
driver can still perform through the software rather than the product hardware (the mopying path that is
disabled when you change the Mopier Mode setting to Disabled). However, a multiple-copy print
job that is sent when the mopier is disabled loses the advantage of transmitting the print job once,
because the job is sent through the network for each collated copy.
Mopier mode and collation
Mopying and collating print jobs are independent but closely related functions. Mopying, the ability to
send original print jobs to the product, is performed by the print driver. Collating can be controlled by
either the print driver or the document software program. The mopying mode is selected by default in
the driver, and can be disabled by changing the Mopier Mode setting on the Device Settings tab
to Disabled.
Control collation through the print driver by selecting or clearing the Collated check box on the
Advanced tab. Click Copy Count under the Paper Output setting. You can clear the check box,
which is available only when the Copy Count option is set to more than 1 copy, to allow the software
program to control collation.
To receive uncollated multiple copies of a print job, you must clear the Collated check box and make
sure that the software program collation feature is not selected.

NOTE: The About tab is located on the Properties tab set.
The About tab provides detailed information about driver component versions. It contains an overall
build version number (in parentheses after the model name) together with specific information about
each of the components. The information varies according to the HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601,
M602, and M603 Series Printer model number, driver, date, and versions. The About tab is shown in
the following figure.
Figure 3-21 About tab

The About tab lists driver installation file names and their version numbers. The About tab also
indicates whether the driver was autoconfigured, whether administrator preferences were set, the date
the driver was last configured, and whether the configuration is autoconfigured or user-configured.
The About button is also available on most driver screens. The About button provides a driver version
number and creation date.
NOTE: The HP PCL 6 print driver is installed by default when using the installer CD. It can also be
downloaded from www.hp.com with an installer or just the driver. In all cases, the driver will be listed
as UPD Version 5.3.0.10295. This refers to the HP PCL 6 driver version NOT the UPD driver
version as stated. This will be removed in a future version of the driver.

File to E-mail utility
The File to E-mail utility collects the data specified in an .INI file and then attaches the data files to an email that can be sent to HP Customer Support to assist troubleshooting. The utility runs on the computer,
but does not interact with the 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 by e-mail or by posting it to an HP Web site.
The tool is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Win 7.
The File to E-mail utility runs with any MAPI-compliant e-mail applications. It does not run with Webbased e-mail services such as Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL.
Depending on the speed of the computer, it might take a few minutes for the utility to gather the log
files and attach them to an e-mail message.

ENWW

File to E-mail utility

143

The File to E-mail utility consists of two files that are located in the util folder on the product printingsystem software CD:
●

Utilities\FileToEmail.exe

●

Utilities\FileToEmail.ini

To use the File to E-mail utility, copy these files to the desktop, navigate to them in Explorer, and doubleclick 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 the system administrator.
If the File to E-mail utility is not successful for any reason (for instance, if you cancel the new message or
you are using Web-based e-mail software), all the files are copied to a folder on the desktop that is
named HpCCC, possibly with strings of zeros attached to the end. You can zip these files and e-mail
them separately.
