Description

HP Embedded Web Server

The HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) is a Web-browser-based utility that
provides an interface to the product that you can use to change product settings,
including color access control settings. No special software needs to be installed or
configured. It allows you to set color printing restrictions and view a log of color
printing use. The HP EWS is designed for one-to-one product configuration
monitoring and management.

HP Web Jetadmin

The HP Web Jetadmin provides an interface to the product through a Web browser
on single network-administration servers. Use HP Web Jetadmin to manage
HP Jetdirect-connected products within an intranet.
For more information, see the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin

certain users and restrict it for other users. User privileges can be set using HP EWS. For
more information, see the EWS online help.

PANTONE color profiles
Most software programs that support the use of PANTONE colors for graphic objects include the
PANTONE name in the postscript output along with the color values that are assigned to the object.
Select a software program that uses a PANTONE palette in a CMYK workspace, and print with the HP
PS Universal Print Driver in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows
Vista, or Windows 7.
When SWOP is selected as the CMYK Color setting, these CMYK values provide a good
reproduction of the PANTONE 4C spot-color simulations.
Vector graphics, such as company logos that are created in PANTONE Application Palettes, can be
imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other Microsoft Office software programs. The color
program must create an encapsulated postscript (.eps) file of the image that will be imported. Use the
Insert file function to import the file into the Office document.
NOTE: Cutting and pasting from the clipboard does not work. These tasks do not preserve the
PANTONE name or the CMYK palette value.

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 printer-driver files, and the code needed to deploy them, into 2
files: an .EXE file and a .CAB file. These files are run on the client computer to copy the printer-driver
files to the Windows driver store, and for network packages, to install the product.
For more information, go to the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/DDU

Chapter 2 Windows software description

ENWW

HP Driver Configuration Utility
The HP Driver Configuration Utility (DCU) is a small Windows application used to edit the configuration
file associated with a particular driver. The configuration file controls the print driver settings and takes
effect when the driver is installed.
The HP Driver Configuration Utility does not handle any part of the deployment or installation of the
driver. Instead, the default driver configuration file is modified and saved back to the same driver
directory in which it was opened (hpcpu*.cf_) or saved to the local host's directory [filename].cfm.
After modification of custom settings, the settings become the defaults used during driver installation.
Please reference the HP Universal Print Driver System Administrator's Guide and the HP Driver
Configuration Utility documentation for full details installing and using the utility.

HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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.

“What's this?” Help
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
support What's this? Help. You can gain access to “What's this?” 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 4-1 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.

Advanced tab features
NOTE: The Advanced tab is located on the Printing Preferences tab set.
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 collating 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.
Figure 4-2 The default appearance of the Advanced tab

The Advanced tab contains the following controls:
●

Paper/Output

●

Graphic

●

Document Options

Paper/Output
The Paper/Output setting contains the Copy Count setting.

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

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 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 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 controls:
●

Image Color Management settings

●

True Type Font settings

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
printing so that the color of images on the screen more closely match the color of those images when
they are printed.
NOTE: The ICM control is typically set to ICM Disabled.

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

Document Options
The Document Options setting contains the following controls:
●

●

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 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.

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

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.

●

Raster Compression
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).

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.
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 HP Color LaserJet CP5525n does not support this option.

Layout Options
The Layout Options setting contains the Page Order setting.

ENWW

Advanced tab features

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.

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.
For information about paper sizes, see Media attributes and commands on page 151 .

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

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.
Units
To change measurement units, click one of the options in the Units group box (either Inches or
Millimeters).
Custom width and height control limits
The minimum paper size for the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 Series Printer product is 76 x
127 mm (3 x 5 in) and the maximum in Tray 1 is 312/320 x 470 mm (12.3/12.6 x 18.5 in). The
following table summarizes paper size limits for each paper-handling device.
NOTE: Custom media width is limited to 312 mm (12.3 in). However, SRA3, which is 320 mm (12.6
in) wide, is supported. The maximum printable image is 302 mm (11.9 in) wide. With the required
blank 5 mm (0.2 in) margins on each side for printing, any media wider than 312 mm (11.9 in) will
have its image centered and limited to 302 mm wide.

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.

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

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:
●

(none)

●

[Username]

●

Confidential

●

Draft

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).

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

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

Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations 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.

●

Print on both sides automatically
The duplexing unit in the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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 Color
LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 Series Printer product comes with a duplexing unit installed in the following
models:
●

HP Color LaserJet CP5525dn

●

HP Color LaserJet CP5525xh

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 Color LaserJet CP5525n, which does not have a duplexing unit installed. Also, select Print on
Both Sides (Manually) on the other HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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.

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:

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

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

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.

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.

Flip Pages Up
Use the Flip Pages Up check box to specify the duplex-binding option. By default, the Flip Pages
Up check box is not available. It is available only when Print on Both Sides is selected. The

16 pages per sheet, the booklet setting is disabled. See Pages per Sheet on page 76 for more
information.
Book and Booklet Printing
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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 52.
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:
●

1 page per sheet (this is the default)

●

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 Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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 and Windows 7, click the Start button, click Control Panel, click
Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers.
In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, click Start, click Settings,
and then click Printers and Faxes.

Right-click the product name.

Click Properties.

Click the Device Settings tab.

Select Installed for the Printer Hard Disk under Installable Options, and then select

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.

ENWW

Job Storage tab features

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 PIN group box. If PIN to
print is selected, 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 Private Job/PIN coupling has a PIN restriction of four ASCII numeric characters (0 though 9). If you
type non-numeric characters, they are removed immediately. If you type more than four characters, the
characters past the fourth are truncated. The field temporarily accepts fewer than four digits in the
string, but when the edit field loses focus, the zeroes pad the left end until the PIN contains exactly four
digits. The default initialized value for the PIN is 0000 for Personal Job.
After it is released for printing, the private 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 private job that
has the same user name and job name as an existing private job (and you have not released the
original job for printing), the job overwrites the existing job, regardless of the PIN. Private 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 private or a public job.
Select the PIN to Print check box to set the private mode. Use a private stored job to send a print job
directly to the product, which can then be printed only after you type a PIN up to 4 digits long at the
product control panel. (You can set the PIN in the PIN group box.)
After the job is printed, the job remains in the product and can be printed again at the product control
panel.
The box labeled PIN is usually inactive. The PIN to Print option becomes available when you select
Stored Job. If you select the PIN to Print box, you must type a PIN to make the stored job private.
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.

PIN to print
PIN to print check box is available when Stored Job is selected. Select the PIN to Print box, then
type a 4-digit PIN number in the box provided. The stored job is sent to the product, where you must
enter the 4-digit PIN on the control panel to retrieve the personal job.
The PIN to Print check box is available when Personal Job is selected. Select the PIN to Print
option, and then type a 4-digit PIN number in the box provided. The personal job is sent to the product,
where you must type the 4-digit PIN on the control panel to retrieve the stored job.

Job Notification Options
Clicking a Job Storage Mode selection causes the User Name and Job Name options to
become available. The Display Job ID when printing check box is selected by default. The
Display Job ID when printing option causes a pop-up dialog box to appear when the job-storage
print job is printed. The dialog box shows the user name and job name that are associated with the
stored print job, as well as the printer name, port, and location.

ENWW

Job Storage tab features

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

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 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.

General
Use the General setting group to control Edge Control settings for all color printing.
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of three components:
●

Adaptive Halftoning, which increases edge sharpness

●

Trapping, which reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges
of adjacent objects

●

Color Resolution Enhancement Technology (C-REt), which 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.

Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is
embedded in the product firmware. You can adjust the Neutral Grays setting independently for text,
graphics, or photographs. The following options are available:
●

Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner.
This option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default
setting for the Text and Graphics components.

●

4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which
produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest
possible black. 4-Color is the default setting for Photographs.

Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a product-dependent halftone algorithm that is
embedded in the product firmware. Halftoning is a method by which the product mixes the four primary
colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in varying proportions to create the appearance of many
colors. The Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of the color on the printed page. You can
select Halftone settings for text, graphics, and photographs independently.

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

The following Halftone options are available:
●

Detail. This is the default option; it is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions
among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this
option for sharp edges and detail.

●

Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth
area fills.

Color Themes
NOTE: To change Color Themes, first de-select the HP EasyColor option.
The Color Themes group box contains the following RGB color options, which determines how
colors are rendered:
●

Default (sRGB)

●

Photo (sRGB)

●

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)

●

Vivid (sRGB)

●

None

●

Custom Profile

Default (sRGB)
Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB color
as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Colors are matched to optimize the RGB colors on the screen and to provide vivid images and
graphics.

Photo (sRGB)
Select Photo (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap images, such
as .GIF or .eps files. This setting instructs the product to use the best color matching for rendering sRGB
bitmap images. This setting affects only raster data; it has no effect on text or vector-based graphics.
Using glossy paper in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)
Select Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than
sRGB. For example, some digital cameras capture images in Adobe RBG, and documents that are
produced with Adobe PhotoShop use the Adobe RGB color space. When printing from a professional
software program that uses Adobe RGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the
software program and allow the product software to manage the color space.

ENWW

Color tab features

Vivid (sRGB)
The Vivid (sRGB) feature instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less
colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.

None
Select None to instruct the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render documents
properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working
or in the operating system.
CAUTION: Use this option only if you are familiar with the procedures for managing color in the
software program or in the operating system.

Custom Profile
Select Custom Profile when you want to duplicate the printed output from other products or for using
special effects. This setting instructs the product to use a custom profile to emulate color output from
another product by modifying how color is rendered.
The default custom profile is an emulation of the color table used on the HP Color LaserJet 4650
product. The product holds only one custom profile at a time, so when you download and install
another color table, it erases the default color table and installs the new one.
You can download custom profiles from the following Web site:

HP EasyColor
If you are using the HP PCL 6 printer driver for Windows, the HP EasyColor technology automatically
improves mixed-content documents that are printed from Microsoft Office programs. This technology
scans documents and automatically adjusts photographic images in .JPEG or .PNG format.
HP EasyColor technology enhances the entire image at one time, rather than dividing it into several
pieces, which results in improved color consistency, sharper details, and faster printing.
In the following example, the images on the left were created without using the HP EasyColor option.
The images on the right show the enhancements that result from using the HP EasyColor option.

The HP EasyColor option is enabled by default in the HP PCL 6 printer driver, so you do not need to
make manual color adjustments. To disable the option so you can manually adjust the color settings,
open the Color tab, and click the HP EasyColor check box to clear it.

Form to Tray Assignment
A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the paper size in each input
tray.
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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.
This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the product with paper-mount messages
that occur when users request sizes or types that are not available.

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 printer 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 Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 Series Printer models.

CP5525xh product models.

ENWW

Device Settings tab features

101

NOTE: The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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 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.

Job Separator
Use this control to specify whether a print job identifier page should be printed between print jobs.

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 Color LaserJet Enterprise CP5520 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

102

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows

ENWW

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.
The following table shows the relation between mopier mode settings and collation settings in the
software program and the driver. The first three columns show the settings; the last column, "Expected
result", shows how a 3-page print job would appear.

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.
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.
