HP-GL/2 upgrade
HP-GL/2 is a standard file format that HP developed for CAD applications. It was designed to preserve
line and text quality and minimize network traffic.
The HP-GL/2 Upgrade Kit for the HP Designjet Z3100 Photo series enables your printer to understand
and print HP-GL/2 files; and it provides print job management facilities. It has the following advantages.
●
Compatibility with existing HP-GL/2 files. Some applications (such as CAD applications) produce
HP-GL/2 files, or you may have produced HP-GL/2 files for printing on other HP printers.
●
Reliability when printing over a busy network. HP-GL/2 files are relatively small and pass quickly
and easily over the network.
●
Job queuing means that all HP-GL/2 jobs sent to the printer are added to a queue that you can
view and manage. For instance, you can change the order of the jobs, change the number of copies
to be printed, cancel jobs in the queue, and reprint jobs that have already been printed.
In order to install the HP-GL/2 Upgrade, follow the instructions that come with the kit.
To check whether your printer already has the HP-GL/2 Upgrade, go to the printer's front panel and
press the Menu key once or twice until you see the main menu icons. If there are eight icons, you have
the HP-GL/2 Upgrade; if there are seven, you do not have it. The HP-GL/2 Upgrade adds the Job Queue
