Who needs this software?
All users require this printing-system software. Network clients need the installation CD or the name of the appropriate network directory to install the software on their individual workstations.

Overview of the printing-system components
The CD that is included with the printers has software for IBM-compatible computer systems and Apple Macintosh (and Apple-compatible) systems. For more information about a particular printer driver or software component, see the associated online help.

Network administrator software components

HP Web Jetadmin
Network administrators can use HP Web Jetadmin to configure and manage HP printers across a variety of operating systems.

NOTE: HP Web Jetadmin is not included on the software CD. Network administrators can download the HP Web Jetadmin software at the following Web site:

http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin

HP Printer Utility for Macintosh OS
Network administrators can use the HP Printer Utility for Macintosh OS X V10.2 and above to configure and manage HP printers from the computer. The printing-system software CD-ROM includes Adobe PPD files for the Macintosh printer driver.

Installer Customization Wizard
The printing-system software CD includes the Installer Customization Wizard as one of the installer options. Network administrators can use this utility to create a custom printer-driver installation package that includes organization-specific components. Upon completion, the customization utility produces an executable file (*.EXE). Use the file to install the preconfigured printer drivers on client machines. This utility supports silent, batch operations.

HP Driver Preconfiguration
HP Driver Preconfiguration is a set of tools that allows HP software to be customized and distributed in managed printing environments. Using HP Driver Preconfiguration, administrators can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the drivers in the network environment. The HP Preconfiguration solution is also a component of the Installer Customization Wizard and a plug-in for Web Jetadmin.

Most printer-driver-feature settings can be preconfigured, and several of the features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings. The following printer-driver features can be locked:

Print on Both Sides (Duplex)
Print in Grayscale
Media Type
Paper Source
Output Bin

For more information, see the HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw. HP Driver Preconfiguration is supported for all the PCL5, PCL6, and PostScript drivers in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.

Driver Autoconfiguration
The HP Color LaserJet PCL 6, PCL 5c, and PostScript drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista feature automatic discovery and driver configuration for printer accessories at the time of installation. Some accessories that Driver Autoconfiguration supports are the duplexing unit, optional paper trays, and memory modules.

Update Now
If you have modified the configuration of the HP Color LaserJet CP4005 printer since installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. Click the Update Now button to automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver.

NOTE: The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows 2000 or Windows XP clients are connected to Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista hosts.

PURPOSE OF THIS README FILE
This Readme file provides specific installation instructions and other information you should know before you perform a custom color table upgrade for your Color LaserJet printer. Installation instructions are provided for Windows and Macintosh systems.

This file provides specific installation and troubleshooting information. For additional information on the printer features, refer to the online user guide found on the Windows Printing System Installer CD-ROM that came with your printer.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A REMOTE CUSTOM COLOR TABLE UPGRADE?
The CLJ Custom Color Table Remote Upgrade file available from the HP web site contains a custom color table. When the Remote Custom Color Table Upgrade file is sent to the printer, the printer's custom color table is upgraded. The printer's firmware and all paper handling accessory's firmware is not modified.

TABLES PROVIDED WITH THIS UPDATE
cp4005_Reset_1_1.rfu -- Use this table to return the printer to its original state.

Files names are constructed as follows:
cp####_{what}_{ver}.rfu

Where:
cp#### is the printer model number the color table is for
{what} is a one word description of what the table will do
{ver} is a two part version number consisting of a major and minor value

ie.
clj4700_clj9500_1_1.rfu is an HP CLJ9500 emulation for the CLJ4700 version 1.1

Note: Ensure your printer model matches the model described in the filename.

Note: This update affects both the RGB and CMYK custom slots of your printer

While every care was taken to ensure a close match was made during the creation of these tables, there are several factors that can affect the outcome of the match including, but not limited to,

- differences between printers within and between a given model line
- the media type used
- the age and state of both printers being compared
- the use of non-HP supplies
- environmental conditions

To access the new table, be sure to select "Custom Profile" from the RGB and/or CMYK color options.

To check if a custom color table is being used, refer to the configuration page for a "@" mark next to the "Last DMax/DHalf:" line under the "Calibration Information" sub-section.
