Software description Lockable features The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings: ■ Print on Both Sides (Duplex) ■ Media Type ■ Paper Source 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 user interface after it has been installed. 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 orientation is set to Landscape in an installed version of the HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 PCL 6 driver for Windows NT 4.0, then the orientation setting in the newly upgraded HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 HP PCL 6 Unidriver or HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is automatically set to "Landscape." The continuous export feature functions transparently from the user's perspective and works only between drivers of identical product models. NOTE Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the list is always the same for those that can be preconfigured. The following table shows drivers and operating systems that support HP Driver Preconfiguration.
