Note MFP image The bitmap image in the lower-right portion of the Configure tab represents the current physical configuration of the MFP according to the driver configuration data. It should have the same appearance as the image in the same location on the Paper tab. The MFP image shown on the Configure tab might differ from your HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp, depending on the installed accessory devices. HP traditional PS driver features Note When you install the print-system software in Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0, the HP traditional PCL 6 driver is installed by default. The HP traditional PS driver can be installed by performing a Custom Installation. The information and illustrations in this section reflect the HP traditional PS driver when the computer is running Windows NT 4.0. The HP traditional PS driver appears significantly different for computers that are running Windows 98 and Windows Me. PS 3 emulation support for the HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp A set of 92 PS 3 emulation soft fonts is included with the printing-system software. If you want to permanently install the fonts in the MFP, PS fonts are also available from HP in an optional font DIMM. The PS emulation maintains full compatibility with Adobe PS when PS fonts are purchased from Adobe. Users of Adobe-licensed programs might also have the right to use the Adobe PS print drivers from Adobe with the HP LaserJet PostScript 3 emulation PPD, available on the HP LaserJet 9055mfp software CD-ROM and the HP LaserJet 9065mfp software CD-ROM, or from the HP Web site. When using the Adobe PS print driver, users must comply with all Adobe licensing agreements, as stated on the Adobe Web site at: http://www.adobe.com/ support/downloads/license.html. See the Font support section of this guide for a list of the additional fonts. Access to drivers To gain access to print driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then click Properties. These driver settings apply only while the software program is open. You can also control the print drivers directly from the Printers folder. In Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0, click Start, click Settings, click Printers, right-click the MFP name, and then click Document Defaults to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program controls. These driver settings change the default settings used across all software programs. EN Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows 133

MFP image

The bitmap image in the lower-right portion of the

Configure

tab represents the current physical

configuration of the MFP according to the driver configuration data. It should have the same

appearance as the image in the same location on the

Paper

tab.

The MFP image shown on the

Configure

tab might differ from your HP LaserJet

9055/9065mfp, depending on the installed accessory devices.

HP traditional PS driver features

When you install the print-system software in Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0, the HP

traditional PCL 6 driver is installed by default. The HP traditional PS driver can be installed

by performing a Custom Installation.

The information and illustrations in this section reflect the HP traditional PS driver when the

computer is running Windows NT 4.0. The HP traditional PS driver appears significantly

different for computers that are running Windows 98 and Windows Me.

PS 3 emulation support for the

HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp

A set of 92 PS 3 emulation soft fonts is included with the printing-system software. If you

want to permanently install the fonts in the MFP, PS fonts are also available from HP in an

optional font DIMM. The PS emulation maintains full compatibility with Adobe PS when PS

fonts are purchased from Adobe.

Users of Adobe-licensed programs might also have the right to use the Adobe PS print

drivers from Adobe with the HP LaserJet PostScript 3 emulation PPD, available on the

HP LaserJet 9055mfp software CD-ROM and the HP LaserJet 9065mfp software CD-ROM,

or from the HP Web site. When using the Adobe PS print driver, users must comply with all

Adobe licensing agreements, as stated on the Adobe Web site at:

http://www.adobe.com/

support/downloads/license.html

See the

Font

support section of this guide for a list of the additional fonts.

Access to drivers

To gain access to print driver settings from within most software programs, click

File

, click

, and then click

Properties

. These driver settings apply only while the software

program is open.

You can also control the print drivers directly from the Printers folder. In Windows 98,

Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0, click

Start

, click

Settings

, click

Printers

, right-click the

MFP name, and then click

Document Defaults

to gain access to the same set of driver tabs

that the software program controls. These driver settings change the default settings used

across all software programs.
