4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation
unidrivers for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP Color LaserJet 3800 unidrivers. The unidrivers are the
HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5 Unidriver, and the HP Postscript 3 Emulation Unidriver
(PS Emulation Unidriver) for Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), and
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit).
NOTE For a comparison of features between the HP unidrivers and HP traditional print drivers
in various operating systems, see
Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems.
You can control print jobs from several places:
●
the product control panel
●
the software program print dialog box
●
the driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the
media input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take
precedence over print-driver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel
settings.
When you install the print-system software in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003,
the HP PCL 6 Unidriver is installed by default. The HP PCL 5 Unidriver and the PS Emulation Unidriver
can be installed by performing a Custom Installation.
The following sections describe the options that are available on each tab of the HP PCL 6 Unidriver,
the HP PCL 5 Unidriver, and the PS Emulation Unidriver
This chapter also describes differences between the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5 Unidriver, and
the PS Emulation Unidriver. Unless otherwise noted, features described here apply to all three.
This chapter contains the following sections:
●
Access to print drivers
●
Help system
●
Advanced tab features
●
Paper/Quality tab features
