Software description For detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools, download the HP Driver Configuration Utility software from the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw The HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide is included in the download. Topics: ● Lockable features ● Continuous export Lockable features The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings: ● Print on Both Sides (duplex). The options are True or False. ● Print in Grayscale. The options are Disable or Enabled. ● Media Type. The options include all the media types that the HP LaserJet 5200 printer supports. ● Paper Source. The options are Printer Auto Select, Manual Feed (Tray 1), Tray 1, or Tray 2. When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users. Generally, the feature is unavailable in the driver UI after it has been locked. Continuous export The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the driver to copy the latest driver settings back to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be transferred when a compatible version of the driver is used to upgrade the print driver. For instance, if the orientation is set to Landscape in a driver originally installed in Windows 2000, then the orientation setting automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. The continuous export feature functions transparently from the user's perspective and works only between drivers of identical device models. NOTE Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the exportable components are always the same as the components that can be preconfigured.
