ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. HP LaserJet and HP LaserJet-Compatible Printers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The LASERJET.DRV supports HP LaserJet** printers using Printer Control Language
(PCL), and three device font types:

 o Your printer is shipped with one or more internal fonts, which are fonts
   permanently stored in its memory.  When you indicate printer model during
   installation, you automatically set up these fonts.
 o You can purchase cartridge fonts, (fonts that have additional character
   shapes, alphabets, or graphic character sets) in a package that fits into a
   slot on your printer.  The cartridge provides additional memory to the
   printer, with the font shapes already loaded.
 o Some cartridges include extended fonts, that enable you to print characters
   (for example, bar codes) that are not included in the character sets
   supplied with your operating system.
 o Soft fonts are optional fonts shipped as files.  Some fonts have
   predetermined sizes, and some can be scaled to size from within a program.
   At the time of printing, the fonts selected for a print job are downloaded,
   or copied, to the memory of your printer.  The capacity of printer memory
   determines the number of different fonts you can select for downloading with
   a particular print job.

 To take advantage of fonts:

  1. The device drivers that come with your OS/2* system contain a list of
     cartridge names catalogued by the printer manufacturer.  If you have a
     cartridge, and want to install its fonts, display the Printer Properties
     window for the driver, then select Fonts.  Installing entails adding font
     names to the list of Installed fonts in the Font Installer window.  If you
     purchase fonts separately, the font manufacturer might supply a separate
     installation program that you must run before you can add fonts in the
     Font Installer window.
  2. Exiting the Font Installer window re-displays the Printer Properties
     window.  In the Printer Properties window, you mark as active, any
     cartridge loaded into a printer slot.  Your printer might have one or more
     cartridge slots.
  3. Select the fonts for a particular job from within your program.  You can
     mix internal, cartridge, and downloadable fonts in any print job.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Installing Hewlett-Packard AutoFont Support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The AutoFont support files provided with Hewlett-Packard** typeface diskettes
and cartridges contain information needed to install the typefaces.

  1. Using DOS, run the AutoFont Support Installation program (or the Type
     Director 2.0 program).  Make note of the directory into which the program
     installs its diskette files.
  2. Display the Printer Properties window for the driver; then select Fonts.
  3. In the New font directory field, type the name of the directory containing
     the AutoFont Support files.

 For more information on typefaces and AutoFont support files, consult the
 Hewlett-Packard documentation.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Font Symbol Sets ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

 bottom of the window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Help for Active Cartridges ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This list contains the names of installed cartridge fonts. Select from the list
any cartridges currently inserted in the printer.  Because some laser printers
have more than one cartridge slot, Max. = indicates the total number of
cartridges you can select.  If you attempt to select more than that maximum,
the next cartridge name you select replaces the first one selected, and you
hear a warning tone.

If you have a cartridge that is not listed, select the Fonts push button; a
window appears that enables you to add your cartridge to the list.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Help for Defaults ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Defaults for an opportunity to specify number of copies, orientation,
resolution, choice of form, paper feed, duplex printing, and fast (downloaded)
system fonts.  These default choices are used if you do not specify these types
of job properties for a particular print job or for the queue to which you
submit that job.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. Help for Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Fonts for access to the Font Installer window.  You can then view a list
of currently installed soft fonts and cartridge fonts, or you can add fonts to
those listed as installed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. Help for Forms ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Forms to add forms to those listed for each paper tray.  Add a form if
the defined forms do not include a paper size that matches the paper loaded in
your printer.  You can also add a form to assign a unique name to a preprinted
form, even if it conforms to a size already defined.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 28. Help for LaserJet Job Properties ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Job Properties to request multiple copies, specify orientation, resolution,
and elect to download system fonts.  You can select a tray-loaded form or
indicate that you will feed forms by hand, and specify output bin if your
printer has more than one place for holding printed pages.  You also can select
dual-sided printing for printer models offering this feature.

Some programs provide access to this window, enabling you to assign these job
properties for a specific document or template.  When setting up a queue, you
select job property defaults that take effect if the program does not override
them.

For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below:

 o Copies
 o Orientation
 o Resolution
 o Fast system fonts
 o Form
 o First page
 o Remaining pages
 o Paper feed.
 o 1 or 2 sided printing
 o Output bin
 o Effects
 o OK


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 29. Help for Copies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In this field, type the number of copies of each page you want printed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 30. Help for Orientation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Portrait (upright) to print the top of the printed material in the same
direction as the top of the paper.  Letters, books, and reports usually have
portrait orientation.

Select Landscape (rotated) to print perpendicular to the direction in which the
paper is fed.  Landscape is frequently selected for documents such as
spreadsheets or plotted graphics, which are wider than they are long.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 31. Help for Resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select the number, in dots-per-inch (dpi) increments, that represents the
resolution in which you want graphics produced on your printer.  Laser printers
process device fonts in the highest available resolution, and can mix high
resolution text with lower resolution graphics.

Select the highest number for the best quality.  Because printing in high
resolution takes longer, you can reserve this setting for final documents.
Select a low number to print faster; for example, to produce drafts of
documents.

Note:   Your printer must have enough memory to hold the dots composing a print
        job.  For laser printers with less than one megabyte of memory, select
        75 or 150 dpi to print a full-page graphic, a dense graphic, or a
        full-page spreadsheet that has horizontal and vertical lines mixed with text.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 32. Help for Fast System Fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select one of the radio buttons to enable or disable downloading of OS/2*
system fonts. The preselected choice, Enabled, copies system fonts to the
printer memory which allows your job to print faster and requires a smaller
spool file than one that has the document in graphic font form.  Select
Disabled when overlaying system fonts with graphics.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 33. Help for First Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This list contains all the forms defined for this printer.  You can scroll the
list to see more form names.  Select the form on which the first page of your
job should print.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 34. Help for Remaining Pages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This list contains all the forms defined for this printer.  You can scroll the
list to see more form names.  Select the form on which all pages after the
first page of your job should print.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 35. Help for Form ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use this field to select a particular form for a print job.  Selecting the
arrow displays a list containing the names of all forms defined for the
printer.  Select the form of your choice.

Because you associate form names with a specific tray (in the Printer
Properties window), selecting a form from this window causes the printer to
feed paper from the appropriate tray, if loaded, or wait for the correct tray,
if not loaded.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 36. Help for Paper Feed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select one of the radio buttons to indicate the source for the paper form.  The
preselected choice, Automatic, means paper feeds from a tray without human
intervention.  Select Manual to have the printer wait for you to manually feed
odd size forms, transparencies, or other media that should not feed from paper
trays.  If you select Manual, you are prompted to insert the paper before the
printer processes each page of a job.  Select Automatic mixed to use one form
for the first page of your document, and a different form for subsequent pages.

The type of form for Automatic or Manual paper feed is selected in the Form
list.  Selecting Automatic mixed causes two lists to appear.  One form is
selected in the First page list and a different form in the Remaining pages
list.  For a detailed explanation of each list, select from the list below:

 o Form
 o First page
 o Remaining pages


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 37. Help for 1 or 2 Sided Printing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If your printer has the capability to print on both sides of a page, you can
select one of the radio buttons in this field.  1 sided, the preselected choice
prints pages on one side only.  2 sided book prints on both sides, with the top
line on each page in the same location.  2 sided flip prints on both sides of
the paper, but the top line on the back page corresponds to the top line of the
front page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 38. Help for Define Forms ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In this window, you can add, delete, or change the size of named forms defined
for this printer.

  1. To add a form, type a unique form name.
  2. Specify the units in which you prefer to see measurements: inches or
     centimeters.
  3. Select the arrow to display the size list, then select the size you want
     to assign to the name.

 To delete a form, erase its name.

 For a detailed explanation of each field, select from the list below:

 o Name
 o Size
 o Units
 o OK
 o Cancel


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 39. Help for Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

In this field, type a unique name for a new form.  You can use up to 22
characters.

You can delete a form definition by deleting the contents of the Name field.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 40. Help for Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This field expands to a list containing form size descriptions.  Select the
arrow to see the contents of the list.

Sizes are shown with measurements in inches or centimeters, depending upon the
Units selected.  You use the list to assign a form size to the identifier in
the Name field at the left.  Select your choice from the listed sizes.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 41. Help for Units ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select one of the radio buttons to indicate whether you prefer the form size
displayed in inches or centimeters.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> resolution ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Density or sharpness of an image.  For bit-map material, resolution is
expressed in dots-per-inch, with higher quality output having more dots-per-
inch.  Resolution can be adjusted for some printers.  Low-resolution images are
printed faster, but appear coarser than high-resolution images.  A printer's
memory size can limit the resolution you can choose.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> spooling ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The process of temporarily storing print jobs while waiting for an available
printer or port at a print-destination.  Spooling jobs frees system resources
from waiting for a relatively slow device to provide output, and keeps the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 42. Help for Device Defaults ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Device defaults to request multiple copies, specify orientation,
resolution, and elect to download system fonts.  You can select a tray-loaded
form or indicate that you will feed forms by hand, and specify output bin if
your printer has more than one place for holding printed pages.  You also can
select dual-sided printing for printer models offering this feature.

Some programs display a similar window, enabling you to assign these types of
properties for a specific document or template.  You can also set up default
job properties for a particular print queue.  When setting up a printer driver,
you select device defaults that take effect if neither the queue nor the
program supplies job properties.
