5 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation
unidrivers for MS Windows
Introduction
This document describes the features of the HP LaserJet 5200 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:
●
Device control panel
●
Software-program print-dialog box
●
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 device 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 document 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.
The following topics are addressed in this document:
●
Access to print drivers in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
●
Help system
●
Advanced tab features
●
Paper/Quality tab features
