Software for Windows-based computers The CD-ROM contains printer drivers and other programs for Windows computers. Network administrators If the printer is attached to a network through an HP Jetdirect EIO card, you must configure the printer for that network before you can print. For Microsoft and Novell NetWare networks, you can use the printer installation software. For other options, see the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator's Guide (included with printers that contain an HP Jetdirect print server). Select the Create Customized Installer option in the Customization Utility to create an installer with the exact software that you want the end users to use. The installer can be configured to execute without user interaction and to install pre-configured driver settings for all PCL drivers and for the PS driver in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. (Select Silent Installer, and then select Yes, allow me to configure the drivers.) The Copy Printer Drivers Only option in the Customization Utility also allows you to create a set of disks with drivers that can be installed through the Microsoft Windows Add Printer wizard. Select the right printer driver for your needs Select a printer driver based on the way you use the printer. Certain printer features are available only in the PCL 6 drivers. See the printer driver Help for availability of features. Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of printer features. For general office printing, the PCL 6 driver is recommended to provide optimum performance and print quality. Use the PCL 5e driver if you encounter documents that print incorrectly with PCL 6 or if font DIMM support is missing. Use the PS driver if you are printing primarily from PostScript-specific programs such as Adobe® or Corel®. The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages. 30 Chapter 1 Printer basics ENWW
