Purpose and scope
Driver configuration for Windows
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series host-based driver features bidirectional communication
technology which, in environments that support the driver, allows the printer to respond to data inquiries
from the computer and report information back, such as toner cartridge life. Bidirectional communication
depends on the configuration of the Windows operating system as well as the type of connection that
exists between the computer and the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer.
ENWW Driver configuration for Windows 7

Advance color use
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer provides automatic color features that generate excellent
color results. Carefully designed and tested color tables provide smooth, accurate color rendition of all
printable colors.
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series also provides sophisticated tools for the experienced
professional.
HP ImageREt 2400
ImageREt 2400 provides 2400 dots-per-inch (dpi) color laser-class quality through a multi-level printing
process. This process precisely controls color by combining up to four colors within a single dot and by
varying the amount of toner in a given area. ImageREt 2400 has been improved for the HP Color
LaserJet CP1210 Series printer to offer trapping technologies, greater control over dot placement, and
more precise control of toner quality in a dot. These new technologies, coupled with HP's multi-level
printing process, result in a 600 x 600 dpi printer that provides 2400-dpi color laser-class quality with
millions of smooth colors.
In contrast, the single-level printing process, called dithering, does not allow the colors to be mixed within
a single dot and is the default mode for many color laser printers. Dithering significantly hinders the
ability to create a wide range of colors without reduced sharpness or visible dot structure.
Media selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate media type from the software printer menu
or from the printer driver.
Color options
Color options use object tagging, which provides optimal color and halftone settings for different objects
(text, graphics, and photos) on a page. The printer driver determines which objects appear on a page
and uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print quality for each object.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the printer
driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)

Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft® developed as a
common color language for monitors, input devices (scanners and digital cameras), and output devices
(printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft operating systems,
the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the typical Windows
monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor you use and the room lighting can affect the appearance
of colors on your screen.
The latest versions of Adobe® Photoshop®, Microsoft Office, and many other programs use sRGB to
communicate color. The sRGB standard improves your ability to match colors between the printer, the
computer monitor, and other input devices automatically, and eliminates the need to become a color
expert.

Purpose and scope

Background toner Off*/On Optimize printer settings to reduce

background toner. (Glossy media picks
up background toner more readily than
plain media.)
Extra drum cleaning Off*/On Talc from paper with high talc content
gets coated on the imaging drums and
degrades the image quality. The printer
will use extra cleaning rotations when
stopping to eliminate this coating on the
drums.
Drum banding Off*/On This mode reduces the occurrence of

sharp lines at the OPC drum pitch
(75mm) by extra pre-rotations and by
jogging the drums slightly after each job.
The jogging motion is slightly audible.
Transfer belt cleaning Off*/+1 to +2 This mode increases transfer belt (ITB)
cleaning effectiveness by increasing the
ICL (ITB Cleaning) roller/brush voltage
for the +1 setting, and by increasing
cleaning frequency for the +2 setting.
This should be used when the ghost of
previous heavy coverage pages appears
on following pages.
Transfer belt cleaning voltage Off*/–5 to +5 This adjustment allows fine control of the
ICL roller/brush voltage. Decreasing the
voltage is better for OPC drum ghosting.
Increasing the voltage is better for heavy
coverage cleaning.
Transfer belt voltage – Y Off*/–5 to +5 This adjustment allows fine control of the
Yellow station OPC-to-ITB transfer
voltage. (There is currently no known
defect associated with this adjustment.)

Install overview
The software for the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer comes on a single CD. The software
installer first checks the versions of Windows Installer and Microsoft .NET installed on the system, and
then installs the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printing-system software from the CD onto the hard
disk and updates Windows files.
During the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printing-system installation, the software installer also
checks the firmware version on the device. If the firmware version on the device is older than the firmware
version on the CD, the installer will update the firmware on the device. If the firmware version on the
device is the same or newer than the CD, the software installer does not update the firmware on the
device. Each time you turn the printer on, a firmware file is added to the first print job.

Point and print installation for Windows
Microsoft Point and Print is a two-step driver installation process which allows network computers to
print through a print server rather than printing directly to a device. Point and Print is similar to Window
Sharing except that the printer driver is installed on a network print server rather than a client directly
connected to the device. The first step is to install a shared driver on a network print server. The second
step is to "point" to the print server from a network client so that the client can use the printer-driver.
NOTE: Point and Print is a feature of Microsoft operating systems, not of HP printer-drivers. If these
procedures are not successful, or for more information about Point and Print networking procedures,

3 HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series print
driver (Host-based raster driver)
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer is a host-based device. Host-based printing differs from
PCL printing by rendering the print job on the host computer rather than on the device formatter.
As a host-based printing system, the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer drivers use the Windows
operating system to convert the graphics device interface (GDI) or device driver interface (DDI) calls
from software programs into JBIG (standard-compression) compressed pages. These pages are sent
in “chunks” through the driver to the device formatter.
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer drivers also receive status messages from the formatter
firmware. These messages are passed to the Status Application, which displays them.
CP1210 Series Print

HP Color LaserJet
The HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series formatter has 16 MB of random access memory (RAM). Both
the firmware and the compressed page must fit into the amount of RAM installed in the printer.

NOTE: Use the same size of media for the entire print job. All options selected from the available Use
Different Paper options use the size selected in the Size is: drop down menu.
To enable the Use Different Paper option:
1. From the application you would like to print from, click File, click Print, and then click either
Properties or Preferences.
2. Select the Use Different Paper check box on the Paper/Quality tab.
3. Select the appropriate option (First Page, Other Pages, or Back Cover) in the dialog box.
NOTE: The Back Cover option is not available when the Booklet Layout setting is enabled on
the Finishing tab. For two-page-per-sheet (2-up) booklet printing, include a cover by selecting
different media for the first page only. The back cover setting is unavailable, because this page
would be printed in the middle of a booklet.
4. Select the appropriate tray and type of media from the Source is: and Type is: drop-down menus.
5. Click the OK button.
NOTE: When you change the type and source of the paper and covers, the settings remain configured
until you close the software program.

Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down box and the Print all Text as
Black check box.
The Print Quality drop-down box controls the resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch
(dpi) used to print the page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on
the page is improved, but the printing time may also increase. Resolution Enhancement technology
(REt) refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out jagged edges that can occur on the angles
and curves of a printed image. The default Print Quality setting is ImageREt 2400.
The Print all Text as Black check box is cleared by default. When selected, the driver prints all text as
black regardless of the original document text color. However, white text remains white as a fail-safe
method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background. This setting does not affect graphic
images on the page.

Effects tab features
Use the Effects tab to create unique media effects such as scaling and watermarks.

Fit to Page
Print Document On
Select this option to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a different
paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
The Print Document On check box is disabled by either of the following conditions:
● The % of Normal Size text box value is not 100.
● The Pages per Sheet drop-down list value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When the Print Document On check box is selected, the Scale to Fit check box is automatically
selected, and the drop-down menu shows the predefined media sizes as well as any custom sizes that
have been created.
Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit check box specifies whether each formatted document page is scaled to fit the target
paper size. By default, the Scale to Fit check box is selected when the Print Document On check box
is selected. If the setting is turned off, each document page is centered at full size on the target paper.
If the document size is larger than the target paper size, the document image is clipped. If it is smaller,
it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a document
that is formatted for legal-size paper with the target size is specified as Letter size media. The image
ENWW Effects tab features 79

on the left illustrates the output when the Scale to Fit check box is selected, and the image on the right
illustrates the output when the Scale to Fit check box is not selected.
Figure 3-11 Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size,
the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the
target page size.
% of Normal Size
The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default
setting in the entry box is 100% of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected
within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does
not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and
sends it to the device.
The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside the range are adjusted to those
limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed or another
control is selected). Any change to the scale also changes the page preview image.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator
is dragged, and the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the slider bar affects
the scale by 75%.
The following settings disable the % of Normal Size option:
● The Print Document On check box (on the Effects tab) is selected.
● The Pages per Sheet drop-down list value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
Watermarks
Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create a custom watermark (text only), or edit an
existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver:
● Confidential
● COPY
● Draft
● SAMPLE

The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system,
plus the default setting "(none)", which indicates that no watermark is selected. Any selected watermark
appears in the preview image.
When the First Page Only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the
document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is "(none)".
Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when the Pages per Sheet drop-down list value
is set to "4" and the First Page Only check box is cleared, four watermarks appear on the page (one
on each logical page).
Click the Edit button to open the Watermark Details dialog box.

then select a different watermark or click the New button, all of the changes made to the previous
watermark are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled.
Current Watermarks
The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available predefined and newly create
watermarks.
To create a new watermark, click the New button. The new watermark show as "Untitled" until you name
it. To name it, type text in the Watermark Message field. The name in the Watermark Message field
doubles as the watermark name.
Watermark names appear on the Effects tab as well as in the Watermark Details group box.
NOTE: When the limit of 30 watermarks is reached, the New button is disabled.
To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the
Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.

Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks
list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, several different
watermarks can contain the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font size. When this
occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When
a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the
number increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).
Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations in
relation to the text on the page. The settings are Diagonal, Horizontal, or Angle (custom). The default
is Diagonal. All three settings automatically center the watermark string within the page; the selection
of a particular setting affects only the angle of the string placement. Diagonal places the text along a
line that spans the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page. Horizontal places the text along a line
that spans the mid-left and mid-right edges of the page. Angle places the text at the specified angle
across the page.
Font Attributes
Name
The Name drop-down menu lists fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is language-
dependent.
Color
The Color option is a fixed, unalterable set of color choices for the watermark. The default color is
Gray.
Shading
The default Shading setting for new and preset watermarks is Very Light. The following range of shades
is available from the Shading drop-down menu:
● Lightest
● Very Light (default)
● Light
● Medium Light
● Medium
● Medium Dark
● Dark
● Very Dark
● Darkest
These values represent the intensity of the gray that is used. Light produces a lightly saturated gray

Print Page Borders
Related controls indented beneath the Pages per Sheet edit box are Print Page Borders and Page
Order, which become active when Pages per Sheet is greater than 1.
Selecting the Print Page Borders check box sets a line around each page image on a printed sheet to
help visually define the borders of each logical page.
Page Order
The Page Order options adjust the visual layout of pages when the Pages per Sheet is greater than
1. The Page Order drop-down menu contains the following selections:
● Right, then Down
● Down, then Right
● Left, then Down
● Down, then Left
Copies
This setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available
in the software program, set the copy count in the software program.
Select the number of copies to print in the Copies text box by clicking the arrows to the right of the text
box or by typing a value in the text box. For the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printers, valid entries
ENWW Finishing tab features 87

are numbers from 1 to 999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (999) to 1
when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (999) when the down arrow is
used.
When you click another group box or leave the Finishing tab, invalid entries (such as non-numerical
input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) change to the last valid
value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because the number of copies can be set from some software programs, conflicts can arise between
the software program and the driver. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate
so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) appears in the other (such as
the driver). For some programs, this communication does not happen, and the copies values are treated
independently. For example, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver
will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. Set the number of copies in the program, wherever
possible.
The Collate option becomes active if the Copies setting is greater than 1. Select Collate to collate
multiple-copy print jobs.
Orientation
Select either the Portrait or Landscape radio buttons to change the orientation of the paper. Portrait
is the default setting. Select the Rotated check box to rotate the document image on the paper 180°.
For example, if the return address on an envelope is smudged, try using this setting and feeding the
envelope so that the return address area is fed into the device first.

Color tab features
Use the Color tab to specify predefined color-option settings or to fine-tune the color treatments and
half-toning. Color output can also be converted to grayscale.

Figure 3-17 Manual Color Options
The Color Settings dialog box gives you independent control of the following settings:
● Text
● Graphics
● Photographs
● General
Text, Graphics, and Photographs sections

Use these sections to control the Neutral Grays setting for each control.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is
embedded in the printer firmware. The options are Black Only or 4-Color. You can adjust the Neutral
Grays setting independently for Text, Graphics, or Photographs.
● Black Only. Generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This option
guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default setting for the
Text and Graphics components.
● 4-Color. Generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces smoother
gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and produces the darkest possible black. 4-Color
is the default setting for Photographs.

General
Use the General setting group to control the Edge Control, Halftone, and RGB Color settings for all
color printing.
Edge Control
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered by adjusting three components: Adaptive Halftoning,
Trapping, and C-REt. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect
of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects. C-REt increases the
apparent resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges.
The Edge Control option offers the following settings:
● Off turns off Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt.
● Normal provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning and C-REt are both set to On.
● Maximum provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning and C-REt are both set to On.
Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded
in the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series firmware. The Smooth and Detail options affect the resolution
and clarity of your color output.
CP1210 Series Print

HP Color LaserJet
● Smooth. Select this option for uniform and smooth area fills. This option provides better results for
large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations.
Driver
● Detail. Select this option for sharp edges and detail. This option is useful for text and graphics that
require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or high level
of detail.
Print in Grayscale
Select Print in Grayscale to print a color document in black and white. This option is useful for
previewing preliminary copies of slides and hardcopy output quickly or for color documents that will be
photocopied or faxed.
Color Themes
Use the Color Themes group box to determine how colors are rendered. The settings affect the color
rendering and print quality in the print job.
RGB Color
The RGB Color settings affect the color treatment for object types and determine how colors are
rendered. The options are Default (sRGB), Vivid, Photo, and Photo (AdobeRGB 1998).
NOTE: Custom color themes can be added and configured using the HP Basic Color Match Tool.
● Default (sRGB). Interprets RGB color space (sRGB), which is the accepted standard for many
software companies and organizations such as Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium.
Default (sRGB) is the default setting.
● Vivid. Sets the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are
rendered more colorfully. This option is recommended for printing business graphics.

● Photo. Interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a photograph using a digital mini-lab. It renders
deeper, more saturated colors differently than the Default (sRGB) mode. Use this setting for
printing photos.
NOTE: When the Photo color theme is selected, the halftone settings are changed to the
following:
● Photo (AdobeRGB 1998). When printing digital photographs from a professional software
program that uses AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB, it is important that you turn off the
color management in the software program and allow the printer to manage the color space.
● None. Sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs correctly
when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working or
in the operating system.
The following table lists the lines per inch (lpi) for the Default (sRGB), Vivid, and Photo (AdobeRGB
1998) color themes.
