SOFTWARE APPLICATION NOTES



Large-File Problems



If you experience some problems when printing very large drawings or long plots, please ensure that your system drive has at least 800 Mb of free space.



You may also find it helpful to disable print spooling, as follows:



Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:

Start -> Printer and faxes -> Properties -> Advanced  -> "Print directly to printer"



Timeout for Complex Print Jobs



For particularly complex drawings you may need to change the printer spool settings. This may be done as follows:



Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:



Start -> Printer and faxes -> Properties -> Advanced  -> "Start printing after last page is spooled"



Color Space



You should select the sRGB color space in your application, otherwise hue casts may not be printed correctly. No CMYK path is available in this driver. If you use CMYK color space, your  application will convert it to RGB; ensure that it converts  to sRGB.



Large Images and Adobe Applications



Adobe Photoshop may have difficulty in printing large images at high resolutions or on large paper sizes. You can check in advance whether a problem will occur by clicking on the second pane from the left of the Photoshop status bar. You should see a gray rectangle representing the printed page, and a white crossed rectangle on top representing the image. The white rectangle should be surrounded by the gray one; if not, your image may be clipped.



To overcome this limitation, click on the "Troubleshooting Menu"  menu in the "Services" tab and check the option "Compatibility  with 16-bit applications". By doing this, the printer driver will  report a lower resolution to the application, which may allow the  large images to be printed. This option should only be used as a  workaround in case of problems, as it reduces the rendering  resolution and can affect the final printed quality. 



You may experience a similar problem with Adobe Acrobat.



Choosing Standard Page Sizes in Microsoft Word



If you want to select from a particular group of standard page sizes (such as ANSI or ISO) in Microsoft Word, you must first enable those paper sizes in the driver's Paper Sizes dialog box.



INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS



You should have Windows running and displaying the desktop; we recommend rebooting your computer before installing a driver.



Manual Installation



1. If the output you send to the printer will go directly to the printer by network without being stored on another computer, you must create a network port before installing the driver (consult your network documentation or network administrator).



2.1 Under Windows XP x64 or Windows Server 2003 x64, click Start, Control  Panel, Printer and faxes; then click Add a Printer in the frame  labeled "Printer tasks".



2.2.Under Windows Vista, click Start, Control Panel, Printers; then click Add Printer in the Toolbar.





3. Follow the steps displayed on your screen, answering the questions as appropriate. Below is some basic advice for some of the questions that you may be requested to answer, depending on your system configuration.



You may be asked whether your printer is connected directly to your computer, or connected indirectly through another computer.



Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Select:



* "My computer" or "Local printer attached to this computer"  if the output you send to the printer will go directly to the printer by cable or network without being stored on another computer.



* "A network printer, or a computer attached to another computer" if you will send output to the printer via another computer. In this case, all settings for the printer are managed by a printer server that has been set up by an administrator.



You may be asked the manufacturer and model of your printer.



Click Have Disk...



In the Install From Disk dialog box, enter the location of the driver on the CD-ROM (the same folder as this ReadMe file) and click OK. Select your HP Designjet printer from the list and click Next.



If you want to install several drivers you will need to repeat this procedure.



You may be asked whether you want to keep the existing driver or use the new one.



Select "Replace existing driver".



You may be asked whether you want to print a test page.



We recommend that you select "Yes". By printing a test page you will test the communications link between your system and the printer.



If you are sharing the driver with Windows 95, 98, or Me, you may be informed that a file from Windows 95, 98, or Me is needed. All the necessary files are located two folders up from this ReadMe file, in the "Win9X" folder.



If you are sharing the driver with Windows NT, you may be informed that a file from Windows NT is needed. All the necessary files are located two folders up from this ReadMe file, in the "WinNT" folder.
