HP LaserJet P2015 - Software Technical Reference

4 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation
unidrivers for MS Windows
Introduction
This document describes the features of the HP LaserJet P2015 unidrivers: the HP PCL 6 Unidriver,
the HP PCL 5e Unidriver, and the HP Postscript Level 3 Emulation Unidriver (PS 3 Emulation Unidriver)
for Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit).
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, 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 installing 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 5e Unidriver and the PS 3 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 5e Unidriver, and the PS 3 Emulation Unidriver.
This document also describes differences between the HP PCL 6 Unidriver, the HP PCL 5e Unidriver,
and the PS 3 Emulation Unidriver. Unless otherwise noted, features described here apply to all three.
