5 Special T asks Introduction This chapter explains special tasks you perform occasionally to adjust your printer, manage its memory, and fine-tune print quality using the printer’s control panel. Many of these functions can also be performed using the software that came with your printer. Refer to Chapter 2, “Software for your Printer,” or t[...]

Switchi ng Printer La nguages (Personalities) If more than one printer language is installed, by default your printer is set to switch automatically between languages as it receives printing jobs. For example, if you have a HP LaserJet 4M printer, you can send jobs to the printer in either Hewlett-Packard’s PCL or Adobe’s PostScript language do[...]

T esting Y our Printer Using the printer’s control panel, you can run the following tests to get information about your printer’s current settings, options, and print quality. (If PostScript is installed, you can also print three PostScript tests. See Chapter 6, “PostScript Printing,” for more information.) • Self Test • Continuous Self[...]

For some installed MIO options, this block of information can be as long as 20 lines and three columns. 3 S[...]

Checking Installed PCL Fonts Your HP LaserJet printer comes with 45 scalable typefaces (35 Intellifont and 10 TrueType internal scalable typefaces) and one bitmapped Line Printer font. You can find out which PCL fonts are currently installed in your printer by printing a PCL Typeface List. You can also print a PostScript Typeface List. See Chapter [...]

Figure 5-2 Special Tasks 5-7[...]

How Much Memory Do Y ou Need? The amount of memory you need depends on how you use your printer. Your HP LaserJet 4V printer, which contains only the PCL language, comes with 4 MBytes of internal memory. The PCL printer language is compact and efficient, so you can print most text and graphics at 300 or 600 dpi without adding memory to your printer[...]

How Y our Printer Uses Memory The printer’s memory receives, holds, and processes data from incoming print jobs and manages downloaded resources. Resources include PCL soft fonts, symbol sets, macros, and patterns, and (when the PostScript option is installed) PostScript fonts, forms, and patterns. Keeping Down loaded Resources in Mem ory When on[...]

You may want to change the amount of memory allocated if you download an unusually large number of fonts, or if your printer is in a shared environment. These instructions do not pertain to fonts downloaded to the optional PostScript Disk Accessory. To determine how much memory to all ocate to a personality: 1 Press [On[Line] to take the printer of[...]

How I/O Buffering Improves Performance When you send a job to the printer, you can get back to work more quickly after you press Print from a software program because your printer automatically reserves a portion of its memory, an I/O buffer, to hold jobs in progress. In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the printer automatically reserve m[...]

Fine-T uning Print Q uality You can fine-tune the quality of your printer’s output by adjusting print density and setting Resolution Enhancement technology (REt). Print density and REt settings work together, so it is likely that when you adjust one, you will want to adjust the other. To do so most effectively, see “Harmonizing Print Density an[...]

T o Adjust Print Density You can change the print density using the printer’s density dial by following these steps: Warning The fusing assembly gets HOT. Do not touch the fusing assembly. 1 Using both hands, open the MP Tray by grasping the door on the front of the printer, at the pattern of raised dots on each side. If the MP Tray is open, remo[...]

Enhancing Resolution Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) refines the print quality of characters and graphics by smoothing the fine gradations along the angles and curves of the printed image. Figure 5-3 shows two magnified images: the left one shows REt set to OFF ; the right one shows it set to MEDIUM , the default. You can also select LIGHT [...]

Figure 5-4 illustrates three REt settings. Set REt so that the REt block is a uniform gray with no vertical lines (see Image 2 below). Image 1 is too light and Image 3 is too dark. Harmonizing Print Density and REt Settings Because print density and REt settings affect each other, it is wise to adjust them at the same time. To harmonize print dens [...]

Saving T oner with E conoMod e EconoMode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page. We recommend EconoMode for draft copy only due to substantial reduction of print quality. When set to ON , the printed image is lighter (like A, below), but still readable. (B, below represents the default OFF setting.) To turn on Eco[...]

Saving Energy with P ower Save To reduce the amount of power it consumes, your printer has an adjustable Power Save feature. Power Save shuts down the printer’s fuser after the printer has been idle for a specified amount of time. The Power Save feature is both adjustable and optional. You can set Power Save to start after the printer has been id[...]
