Non-Windows software

Since each program differs in its setup capabilities, there is no

standard way to select the printer driver. See your software

manual for information on how to select an HP LaserJet 4

driver.

Using the serial interface

If you are using the serial interface, you need to ensure that the

printer and the computer are using the same serial settings. If

the serial settings do not match, you must change the

appropriate settings. The settings can be changed either at the

printer or computer.

The printer’s default serial settings are listed below. To change

the printer’s serial settings, see “SERIAL MENU” in Chapter 4

of the Reference Guide. For information about your computer’s

serial settings, see your computer manual.
