ENWW What is it for? 1
Getting started
1. Install the software and software licenses. See the installation guide.
2. Create a job in the job preparation pane, which gives you many tools for manipulating and setting up each
job before printing. To create your rst job, select the printer that you want to use, and drag and drop one
or more les onto the job preparation pane (or click to browse for les). At this point, the Preight
Manager checks each le and reports any errors in the le that could aect printing. You can preview pages
in the preview pane. See Job preparation on page 21.
NOTE: The supported le formats are PDF, JPEG, TIFF, HP-GL/2, DWF, as well as SMJ and ZIP les
containing les in any of the preceding formats.
3. Send your job to the printing queue (using the Print job button), where you can monitor its progress. See
Printing on page 55.
NOTE: If you are printing to an HP DesignJet printer, do not close the application or shut down the
computer until your job has printed. See Exit the application while printing on page 58.
4. Conveniently reprint past jobs from the application’s history tab. See History on page 60.
NOTE: Whenever a new version of the application becomes available, it will notify you, and it can update itself if
you give permission.
2 Chapter 1 Introduction ENWW
What do I see on the screen?
HP SmartStream provides three tabs, only one of which is visible at a time:
● The job preparation tab, in which you prepare each job. This contains:
1. The printers pane, showing the printers available to the application and their status
You can select here the Preight desk instead of a printer, if you want to prepare jobs without
assigning them to a specic printer.
2. The job preparation pane, showing the pages of the job
3. The preview pane, showing a preview of the selected page
4. The settings pane, which lists the print settings for the selected page
The printers pane, preview pane, and settings pane can be minimized.
● The printing queue tab, in which you can monitor the progress of each job
– The printers pane
– The printing queue pane, showing the jobs in the printing queue and their status
– The preview pane
● The history tab, from which you can reprint any past job
– The printers pane
– The history pane, showing the old jobs in the history
ENWW What do I see on the screen? 3
How can I adjust the HP SmartStream window?
The widths of each area can be changed according to your requirements.
● The printers pane (with Preight desk) is minimized by default, but can be widened by clicking the active
printer. See also The printers pane on page 10.
● The preview pane can be minimized by clicking or the PREVIEW title, or widened by dragging the left
pane border to the left, or maximized by clicking in the top right corner of the pane.
● The settings pane is minimized by default, but can be widened by clicking and then minimized again by
clicking .
● The job preparation pane includes a horizontal scroll bar if necessary, so that all columns can be accessed.
You can change the order of the columns by dragging the column headings.
You can show or hide columns by right-clicking anywhere in the column heading row, and then checking or
unchecking column names in the menu.
You can freeze the rst column by clicking in the column heading.
4 Chapter 1 Introduction ENWW
Notications
A notication is displayed briey on the screen when certain events occur, such as:
● A job moves from the job preparation pane to the printing queue.
● A job moves from the printing queue to the history (when it has been printed).
● A stacker or folder has been installed or uninstalled.
The notication normally fades in, remains for 5 seconds, and then fades out. You can stop it from fading by
hovering over it, or see it again by hovering over the notication icon in the icon tray (if you have enabled it).
Recommended ways to set up the software
HP SmartStream can be set up in a variety of ways, the most common of which are described below.
End-to-end printing workow
The end-to-end workow is a basic ow designed around the needs of a single operator managing the end-to-
end ow of a job from job reception to preparation/preight to printing and perhaps nishing.
For example, only one operator is in charge of printing, or possibly one operator per printer. In this case, this
operator has full control over the printing workows and the printing queue using HP SmartStream.
In other cases, with multiple operators, each of them may be responsible for a single job end to end; that is, from
the reception of the job to its delivery.
A individual installation of HP SmartStream can perform all the required steps of an end-to-end printing
workow, allowing an operator to prepare jobs and print to one or more printers.
Files can be added to the application from local or removable drives, local network, or remote locations, as long
as they are accessible by the operating system’s le explorer.
Distributed workows
In an enterprise environment, the HP SmartStream solution allows users (such as architects or engineers) to
send jobs to the CRD (Central Reprographics Department), so that the central print operator can print them. This
is not intended to replace using any printer present in the users’ own department to print samples or a limited
number of pages on their own. Rather, it is intended for jobs with many pages or high urgency, when
professional print operators should take care of the printing and nishing.
In order to streamline the job submission and subsequent processing by the print operator, the installation of
HP SmartStream in the CRD should have one or more hot folders congured that point to a folder that any user
in the enterprise can access. See Hot folders on page 18.
Likewise, each user’s installation of the HP SmartStream Submission Driver should point to a hot folder that is
connected to the CRD’s HP SmartStream software.
With this setup in place, a typical enterprise workow with a CRD may run as follows:
1. Job submission from the user’s computer
ENWW Recommended ways to set up the software 5
Users can:
● Send a print-ready le from their specialized application (such as CAD software) by selecting the
HP SmartStream Submission Driver from the application’s print menu. See Submission Driver
on page 73.
● Select their desired color mode, paper type, page settings, number of copies, and nishing options.
See Job preparation on page 21.
● Assign the project and/or department ID to the job for tracking and/or accounting purposes. See
Accounting on page 70.
● Add any further instructions as a comment. See Accounting on page 70.
● Submit the le to the CRD with the job ticket information.
2. Job reception and printing in the CRD
The print operator can:
● Act on a notication that a new job has arrived in a hot folder, by opening it in the preparation pane.
See Job preparation on page 21.
● Check the instructions in the job ticket by opening the detailed job summary. See Accounting
on page 70.
● Make sure that a suitable roll is loaded in the printer, and that the nisher is ready.
● Change the page settings according to instructions, where they have not been applied automatically
when the job was added from the hot folder.
● Ensure that any issues detected (such as content in the printer margins) are tolerable, by consulting
the Resolution Center. See Resolution Center on page 24.
● Print the job and prepare the printout for delivery or pickup. See Printing on page 55.
NOTE: Conguring a hot folder for auto-print allows unattended processing and printing of incoming jobs. See
Hot folders on page 18.
6 Chapter 1 Introduction ENWW
2 Printers
Preight desk
There is a Preight entry in the list of printers, with which you can use the Preight Manager to check your les
without printing them. It has only the settings that are appropriate without a printer, and has no printing queue
or history.
The Preight desk can be disabled from the printer preferences by right-clicking the icon and selecting Disable
Preight desk. Subsequently, the Preight desk will no longer appear in the printers pane, but it cannot be
deleted, and can be re-enabled from the printer preferences. See Printer-specic preferences on page 15.
Add a printer
To add a non-HP printer, see How to use non-HP printers with HP SmartStream on page 88.
1. Before you can add any printers, the software must be licensed. See the installation guide.
2. Ensure that the printer you want to add is turned on, awake, and accessible from your computer.
3. Click near the top right of the window.
ENWW Preight desk 7
4. Click the Printers tab.
5. Click the Add Printer button.
6. You can give the printer a name (this is optional) and enter its IP address or hostname (this is required),
then click Continue. If you assign a name, you can choose any name you like; it will be used only in the
printers pane. If you do not know the printer’s IP address, the printer’s own documentation will tell you how
to nd it. It is normally available from the Connectivity menu in the printer’s front panel.
NOTE: You can change the IP address or hostname later in the printer preferences. See Printer-specic
preferences on page 15.
NOTE: Only supported printers are detected (see the installation guide), and only licensed printers can be
added to the application; any attempt to add an unlicensed printer will fail, unless you have a trial version
of the software (see the installation guide).
7. The application downloads a set of color proles for the new printer.
The name you have given the new printer should now appear in the printers pane.
You can add more printers, in which case their names all appear in the printers pane.
8 Chapter 2 Printers ENWW
Change a printer’s IP address or hostname
If the IP address of a printer changes, it is removed from HP SmartStream. To add it again with the new IP
address, see Add a printer on page 7.
When you add it with the new IP address, HP SmartStream detects that it is the same printer with a new IP
address, and asks whether you would like to merge the two printers.
● Click Merge to merge the two printers: the new printer keeps the history of the old printer.
● Click Duplicate not to merge the printers: the new printer’s history starts o empty.
Delete a printer
1. Click near the top right of the window.
2. Click Preferences in the drop-down menu
3. Right-click the printer that you want to remove, and click Delete printer in the popup window.
4. Another window warns you of the implications of removing the printer, and oers you the chance to Cancel
or Delete printer.
ENWW Change a printer’s IP address or hostname 9
The printers pane
The printers pane is at the far left of the window. By default, it shows only the names of the printers that you
have added.
Click a printer name to select the active printer; the rest of the window always shows the jobs for the active
printer, in any of the three tabs.
The active printer is shown with a lighter background color than the others.
To widen the pane and see more information about each printer, click the active printer or double-click an
inactive printer (which also activates it). You can now see up-to-date status information on the printer and its
accessories.
NOTE: There may be a short delay while the application retrieves the status information from the printer.
10 Chapter 2 Printers ENWW
To return to the default narrow pane, click the icon in the top right corner.
To see more details about the active printer, click Details.
ENWW The printers pane 11
When fully expanded, the printers pane contains the following items:
1. The name of the printer
2. The overall status of the printer
3. A picture of the printer
4. An expander button to increase or decrease the number of details shown
5. The total number of pages in the queue for this printer.
6. The ink level in each ink cartridge
7. The dimensions and type of paper loaded on each roll, and a warning or error message if necessary
8. The status of the folder and stacker, if any
9. A link that opens the printer’s Embedded Web Server
The collapsed printers pane (before clicking Details) contains only items 1 to 4 above.
If the pane is too small to show all of the printers, you can move up and down the list by clicking the
and buttons at the bottom of the pane.

16 Chapter 3 Set preferences ENWW
● Preight Manager analysis: By default, a thumbnail of each page in a job is generated, and displayed in the
left column of the job preparation pane. You can choose a partial analysis to increase the speed of the
Preight Manager, by unchecking the Always generate thumbnails box here; in which case, a placeholder
image is displayed in place of each thumbnail. However, by turning o thumbnails you also disable some
features of HP SmartStream, such as identifying the color mode of your original documents, clipping
detection, fast page preview, and automatic removal of white areas.
If thumbnail generation has been turned o, you can use the icon in the job header to generate
thumbnails for all pages in the current job at any point:
● Remove white areas: If you choose Remove white areas or Smart crop, your pages are automatically
cropped to remove white areas at the edges. You can also choose Custom crop. See Cropping on page 44.
● Rotation: Choose the page rotation to be applied by default (Original, Auto, Landscape, or Portrait).
● Alignment
– Page/image alignment: Choose how the image is aligned with respect to the page.

● Content in printer margin: The printer margins are normally 5 mm, but in some circumstances you may be
able to choose a printer margin of 3 mm, depending on the printer, the printer rmware, and the paper
type.
– You can choose whether the printer should try to detect content in the printer margins (never,
moderate analysis, or extensive analysis).
NOTE: Moderate analysis may not detect all clipping; extensive analysis detects all clipping but may
sometimes detect clipping when there is none (a false positive).
– If content is detected in the printer margin, the application can try to x the problem automatically by
adjusting the paper source margins.
– When adding margins, you can choose between the minimum distance needed to avoid clipping and
the whole width of the printer margin.
ENWW Printer-specic preferences 17
● Paper and ink alerts: Whether to minimize paper and ink alerts.
● Roll switching options: If you choose Non-stop printing (see Job options on page 28), the application will
try to carry on printing even if a roll runs out of paper while printing and there is no roll of the same roll
width loaded. In this case, it will look for a roll of the same paper type with a wider roll. The narrowest
suitable roll is selected. If there are multiple narrowest suitable rolls, the application can choose between
them according to one of the following rules:
– Minimize roll switches
– Use roll with less paper
● Color options: You can select Relative colorimetric, the default setting, or Perceptual, which emulates the
output of a PostScript driver. See Color management on page 59.
● Nesting: see Nesting on page 35.
Presets
A preset is a group of settings saved together under a single name. You can create, modify, or delete presets in
the Presets tab.
On the left, you can select from a list of presets that you have created. They are displayed in the same order in
the preset drop-down menu in the job preparation pane. You can delete a preset by right-clicking its name in this
list.
On the right, you can see the settings of the selected preset. A setting is part of the preset only if the box to the
left of the setting is checked.
You can use the Preset column in the job preparation pane to apply a preset to one or more pages, or to a whole
job.
Hot folders
This tab enables you to dene hot folders for incoming and outgoing les. Once dened, the hot folder allows
you to import les into (or export les from) the application in an easy way. See Using a multifunction printer that
includes a scanner on page 65.
18 Chapter 3 Set preferences ENWW
You can set:
● Function: Whether this particular hot folder is for incoming or outgoing les
● Target: The folder in your computer or network that will contain the hot folder
● Name: The name of the hot folder
● Delete imported les: Whether the imported documents should be deleted after importing them
NOTE: If you delete the imported les, you are recommended to attach the les when saving the job,
otherwise the application will not be able to nd the les when you reopen the job. See Save options in
General preferences on page 14.
● Assign preset: An optional preset that may be applied automatically when les are added to or dragged
from this folder.
NOTE: You must create the preset in advance in order to select its name here.
ENWW Hot folders 19
● Printer to autoprint: A printer that will automatically print any les added to this hot folder. If you select
None, the les in the hot folder will not be automatically printed. You can specify here the number of copies
to be printed.
If the printer has any problem, automatic printing is suspended until the printer is ready again, and a
warning is added to the hot folder icon in the job preparation pane.
Log les for autoprint operations can be found in the My Documents\HP SmartStream\Auto-print Logs
folder. A log le contains information about the success or failure of the autoprint operation. Any document
added to the hot folder that cannot be processed correctly by the application will be copied to a subfolder
of the logs folder.
NOTE: Documents added to a hot folder with autoprint enabled will print as they are to the most suitable

4 Job preparation
You can create and edit jobs in the job preparation pane.
HP SmartStream allows you to work in two dierent ways:
● You can select a specic printer and prepare a job for that printer.
● You can select the Preight desk in order to prepare a job without specifying a specic printer. This allows
you to check page size and alignment. The job can be assigned to a printer later, by clicking or by
dragging the job to a printer in the printers pane.
The job preparation process
1. Select the printer that you want to use to print your job, or select the Preight desk.
2. Create a new job by clicking at the top left of the job preparation pane, or by dragging les or folders
directly onto an empty job preparation pane.
NOTE: Whenever you add a new printer, an empty job is created automatically.
3. To add les or folders to a job, you can click , or drag and drop the les or folders onto the job
preparation pane.
See also Tracking les added to the job on page 77.
NOTE: You can drag and drop les directly from Microsoft Outlook to HP SmartStream.
ENWW 21
4. A Preight Manager window is displayed while the application is checking each le for problems. This
window disappears when the job is ready. See File error detection on page 22.
If problems are found that prevent les from being added, a report window appears with a summary of the
problems. This window remains open until you click Later. More details can be seen in the Resolution
Center. See Resolution Center on page 24.
If problems are found that do not prevent les from being added, the Preight Manager does not produce a
report, but the details can be seen in the Resolution Center.
5. After checking the les, the application automatically suggests the paper type (unless the preferences
indicate to use one
specic paper type), the page size, the rotation of the page on the roll, and the roll
width. See Automatic attribute detection and setting assignment on page 25.
6. You can review and modify the settings using the job preparation pane and/or the settings pane. See Edit a
job on page 26.
You can also sort and/or lter the content of the grid. See Sort pages on page 40 and Filter pages
on page 39.
See Accounting on page 70 for information about clusters and the job details icon.
TIP:
Changing the view from standard to compact turns o the display of thumbnails and thus
allows you to see more rows on the screen.
7. Use the print preview to see how a page will look when printed, how it will be positioned on the roll, and
whether your image will be clipped with your present settings. See Print preview on page 48.
8. When you are ready to print, click the Print job button. See Printing on page 55.
If you decide to print the job on a printer dierent from the one you originally selected, you can drag the job tab
to another printer tab.
HP SmartStream Preight Manager
The Preight Manager analyzes each le to check for errors, issue warnings, and propose various page settings
automatically.
NOTE: You can choose to perform only a limited Preight Manager analysis. See Faster Preight Manager
analysis in the Printer-specic preferences on page 15.
File error detection
When les are added to a job, the Preight Manager checks them for possible errors. If an error means that a
page cannot be printed, it is not added to the job preparation pane and is not included in the job.
All supported le types are checked. The Adobe Libraries are used for fast and accurate checking of PDF les.
22 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
Errors that prevent adding les
In these cases, the le is not added to the job.
● The le format is not supported by HP SmartStream.
● The le is corrupted.
● A certicate is needed to open the le.
● You do not have enough free memory or enough free hard disk space to process the le.
The author of a PDF le can specify an Open password that you must provide to open the le, and/or a
Permissions password that you must provide to print the le. If you try to add a password-protected PDF le to a
job, an Action Required window is displayed, in which you can enter the required password(s). If you cannot
provide a required password, the le is not added to the job.
A PDF le with a Permissions password but no Open password is treated as being in error, and is not added to
the job.
Errors that do not prevent adding les
In these cases, an explanation is added to the resolution center for your information, but the page is added to
the job and can be printed, unless you decide to exclude it.
● The page and/or image will be clipped. You can ask the application to try to x this problem automatically,
or you can x it manually after viewing the preview to see what will be clipped and where.
NOTE: You can choose not to be notied about clipping that occurs within the printer margins. See
Printer-specic preferences on page 15.
● Some layers are not printable. You can check what will be printed in the preview.
● Some layers are not visible, but can be printed. You can check what will be printed in the preview.
● The following errors are found only in PDF les:
– Fonts are missing. The application can automatically substitute other fonts for the missing fonts.
Alternatively, you may be able to recreate the PDF le with the correct fonts embedded in it.
– There are references to external items, which will not be printed. If you want to print these items,
they must be embedded in the le.
– The le contains one or more embedded PostScript objects that will not be printed.
ENWW HP SmartStream Preight Manager 23
When a page has an error, its thumbnail is outlined in yellow. When it is selected, its background color changes to
blue.
Resolution Center
The toolbar contains a Resolution Center icon. If a job contains no issues (everything is ne), this icon is
disabled.
If there are any issues with the job, you can click the button to see them. In addition, a warning icon is
displayed over the page thumbnail. You can double-click the warning icon to open the Resolution Center at the
page showing the issue.
The issues may consist of the following types:
● Information: These give you information but require no action.
● Warnings: These warn you of a possible problem that may require action. The action is explained.
● Actions: These explain a situation and oer you options for responding to it.
In the resolution center, you can choose to see all the issues on a page, or you can choose a specic type of issue
and browse through the pages that have that issue.
Issues are shown per page, and you can navigate from page to page by using the buttons at the top right.
You can choose to ignore specic issues, or use the General preferences to ignore all issues of a specic kind, or
not to perform checks before printing. See General preferences on page 14.
If I get a warning that the image will be clipped, what can I do about it?
You can click the Solve all button, in which case HP SmartStream will try to solve the problem automatically.
Alternatively, you can use the preview to see exactly what the problem is, and solve it manually. For more details, see Print
preview on page 48.
24 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
Automatic attribute detection and setting assignment
The following attributes are detected automatically for each page that is added to a job:
● The document name and the number of pages that it contains
● The original image size of the page
● Whether the page is in color or grayscale
The following settings are automatically assigned for each page:
● The page size
● The page rotation, if any
NOTE: In the paper source options, you can turn automatic rotation on or o by means of a check box.
See Paper source options on page 46.
● The paper type, which is limited to the paper types currently loaded in the printer
NOTE: In the Preferences window, you can choose to use a specic default paper type when adding
pages, instead of using the paper type proposed by the application. See Printer-specic preferences
on page 15.
● The roll width, which depends on the page size
● The roll ID, which may depend on the roll width
NOTE: The roll ID is assigned automatically only if you have set it to Any in the paper source options. See
Paper source options on page 46.
NOTE: Your printer may enable you to set a roll to protected status. In this case, the roll ID is not available
for automatic assignment; you can print on that roll only by requesting it explicitly.
You can modify these proposed settings. If you have changed a setting and want to restore the automatic value,
click the AUTO button.
Job overview
Visual job overview
The Preight Manager generates a visual overview of each job, known as a cluster, which can be displayed near
the top of the job preparation pane. It divides the pages of the job into categories, rst dividing them into color or
monochrome pages, and then dividing them by page size; showing a count of the pages in each category.
Page clusters are a new feature that helps you to simplify the production of large jobs by giving you a fast and
clear understanding of the job composition from the beginning, knowing the number of pages that each job has
for each size and page content. In addition, you can easily select all pages in one or more categories by clicking
those categories. In this way you can apply and modify settings at a category level.
The total page count is always displayed; you can open or close the display of categories.
ENWW Job overview 25
If a lter is in operation, the pages hidden from the job preparation pane are also excluded from the cluster.
Job details
The icon in the toolbar displays information about the job that may be used for accounting purposes (see
Accounting on page 70). The icon appears in the job preparation pane and in the history pane.
Edit a job
You can edit a job in various ways to print the pages that you want, in the order that you want, and with the print
settings that you want.
● By selecting one or more pages and changing the print settings
You can change print settings in the job preparation pane or in the settings pane; the eect is the same.
The dierence is that the display of settings in the job preparation pane can be customized: you can change
the order of the columns and remove columns that you don’t normally use. The settings pane displays all
available settings in a xed order: it cannot be customized.
To display a list of all the possible columns that you can show or hide, right-click any column header.
● By clicking the column header to change the settings of the whole job
● By sorting the pages into a dierent sequence (see Sort pages on page 40)
● By applying a lter to one or more columns in the job preparation pane, and thus hiding some pages (see
Filter pages on page 39)
26 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
● By selecting one or more pages and dragging manually them up or down to a dierent position: this
changes the sequence in which the pages will be printed
● By renaming pages (see Rename pages on page 77)
This is not a complete list of the possibilities. For further options, see the subsequent sections in this chapter.
TIP: If you make a mistake or change your mind while editing a job, you can use and (or their Ctrl-Z and
Ctrl-Shift-Z shortcuts) to undo or redo edits to a single job. Actions other than job editing cannot be undone.
Toolbar
The toolbar contains the following icons and buttons:
● to undo the last job editing action
● to redo the last action that was undone
● to add documents to a job or open a saved job
● to save a job
● to show the status of the hot folders
● to show the status of the resolution center
● to show the job details

● to change the number of copies of the job to be printed
● to select job options
● to send (in the context of a printer)
● to submit a job but put it on hold in the printing queue
● to print a job
Labels
The job preparation pane has a Label column that is hidden by default, but can be shown (right-click any column
header to show or hide columns).
If you choose to show this column, it initially contains the tag attached to each page of a PDF le. However, you
can edit these tags in the Label column, replacing them with any text you like. The new text that you provide is
saved as part of the job, but it is not saved in the PDF le.
ENWW Edit a job 27
The existence of this column allows you to sort and lter pages according to tags that you can choose yourself.
Discipline
The job preparation pane has a Discipline column that is hidden by default, but can be shown (right-click any
column header to show or hide columns).
If you choose to show this column, it initially contains a subset of categories. However, you can edit these
categories in the Discipline column, replacing them with any you like.
The existence of this column allows you to sort and lter pages according to tags that you can choose yourself.
Job options
You can see the job options for any job by clicking in the toolbar of the preparation pane.
28 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
● Collate: If you choose to print more than one copy of the job, you can choose to collate the copies;
otherwise, the printer will print multiple copies of the rst page, then multiple copies of the second page,
and so on.
● First page on top: You can choose to print the job with the rst page on top, which may be convenient if you
are stacking the pages face-up as they emerge.
NOTE: You can choose in the Preferences window whether this option is on or o by default. See Printer-
specic preferences on page 15.
● Disable cutter: If the paper is cuttable and the cutter is turned on at the printer’s front panel, you can turn it
o here. If the paper is not cuttable or the cutter is turned o at the front panel, you cannot turn it on from
HP SmartStream.
● Revert to original page order: Restore the original sequence of pages in the job, as they were when you
created the job. This may be useful if you have sorted the pages or changed the order manually.
● Revert to custom page order: Restore the last manual sequence of pages in the job, as they were when you
last manually reordered them.
● Non-stop mode: The application checks the selected roll ID, roll width, and paper type for each page
against the currently loaded rolls in the printer. If a roll with the correct characteristics is not loaded, a
window appears asking you how to proceed. However, just before printing the page, if a roll is detected of
the correct paper type but wider than specied, printing will continue.
NOTE: This option allows you to print with minimal interruptions, while still respecting the paper type
specied in the job and avoiding clipping. A job may be printed on wider paper if the specied width is not
available.
● Extract job: You can extract a whole job and store it, in the same way that individual pages can be
extracted. See Extract pages on page 39.
● Duplicate job: You can duplicate a whole job, including its job options and page settings.
ENWW Job options 29
NOTE: You can also duplicate a job by dragging it to the + tab at the top of the job preparation pane.
● Separator: You can choose to print a job separator page for this particular job. See Job separators
(HP PageWide XL only) on page 55.
Gloss enhancer
Gloss enhancer is a layer of coating that you can apply to printouts to create a special eect, is switched on/o in
job options (see Job options on page 28), and applies to the whole job.
NOTE: Gloss enhancer cannot be applied on all paper types.
NOTE: For printers that support this feature.
Stamps
In the preparation pane, in the Stamp column, you can choose to assign a stamp to a page or create a new one.
This prints a text and/or graphical stamp or watermark over the contents of the page; you can assign the same
stamp to all pages of a job, or particular stamps to particular pages.
You can specify the position of the stamp and the formatting of a text stamp: its font, size, color, angle, opacity,
and oset. You can add various dynamic elds to be displayed as part of the text.
TIFF, PNG, and JPEG les can be imported to provide a graphical stamp. You can also import one of these les
contained in a ZIP le. If the ZIP le is password-protected, you will need to give the password in order to import
the image successfully.
NOTE: A ZIP le within a ZIP le is not supported.
The stamp can consist of a maximum of ve layers.

34 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
Nesting
Nesting enables you to save paper and time. It enables you to print two or more pages side-by-side on the paper
(if the paper is wide enough). In this way, you can print the whole document more quickly, and avoid wasting
paper.
NOTE: When you nest a job, the paper type and print quality must be the same for all pages in the job.
NOTE: Nesting is not available if you have chosen the Preight desk.
You can set the nesting parameters for each printer in the printer preferences (see Printer-specic preferences
on page 15), and you can turn nesting on and o for each job using the icon in the toolbar.
In the preview (see Print preview on page 48), you can see how your pages will be nested, and you can move
individual pages in the preview if you like. The order and positioning of pages that you set in the preview will be
respected in the nal print.
ENWW Nesting 35
If you have asked for multiple copies of a page, the copies of that page can be nested, which is known as N-up
printing.
36 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
Nesting preferences on roll paper
● Nest width: The maximum total width of the nested pages. Roll width (auto) by default, which uses the
width of the widest roll loaded into the printer.
NOTE: If there is a page in your document wider than the nest width you have selected, the width of that
page is used as the nest width.
● Sheet length: The printer is allowed to cut the paper into sheets of this length or greater. Minimum by
default, which means that the printer is allowed to cut the paper into sheets of any length. Or you can
choose to Disable cutter.
● Page gap: The spacing between pages, from 0 to 100 mm (3 mm by default).
● Cutting lines: If checked, the application adds cutting lines to all pages (unchecked by default).

In the print settings (general settings).
Cropping
● You can choose from the following cropping options:
– Do not crop: No cropping is done (the default option).
– Remove white areas: Crop white areas around the edges of the image.
– Smart crop: Crop white areas around the edges of the image, and solve any issue arising from content
in printer margins.
– Custom crop: Crop the image to a specied width and height.
TIP: The ability to crop white border areas automatically can save you a lot of work compared with doing
the same task manually for each page.
TIP: You can lock the width and height to preserve the aspect ratio of the cropped image, or release the
lock to change width and height independently.
If the page size is set automatically and you crop to a dierent page size, that becomes the new page size.
However, if you have set the page size manually, cropping does not change it.
After cropping, you can select Do not crop to restore the original image size.
Page options
● Scale: You can rescale the image to a dierent size—to a percentage of its original size, to t a particular
page size, or to t the current roll.
– When you rescale the image, the page margins are also rescaled.
– When the page size is set automatically, it will change automatically if you rescale the image.
– However, when you set the page size manually and then rescale the image, the page size is not
aected.
44 Chapter 4 Job preparation ENWW
● Page size: This is initially set automatically, based on the dimensions of your original document, but you
can change it. The page-size list enables you to select portrait or landscape mode. You can also click AUTO
at any time to return to the automatic page size.
NOTE: If your original document has dimensions within 1.5 mm (0.6 in) of a standard size, the page size is
set to the standard size. You can disable the display of standard sizes in the preferences. See General
preferences on page 14.
To print your document on the nearest standard page size, scroll down to Nearest standard size in the
page-size list. Below it is a list of page-size families (ANSI, American, Architectural, and so on); click the
family you want to use. See also Page size in General preferences on page 14.
You can create, modify, and delete custom page sizes by selecting Create from the page-size list. A custom
page size is specic to a particular printer: it is not available for use with all printers.
The application noties you if you try to create a custom size that already exists; whether it is a standard
size or another custom size.
● Cutting lines: In the Settings pane, you can add dashed lines to show where the paper should be cut to
achieve the correct page size. Cutting lines can be printed only if they fall within the printable area of the
paper.
Cutting lines are turned o by default, but you can turn them on for particular pages, or change the
preferences to turn them on by default.
● Alignment: You can align the image to the left, right, center, top, or bottom of the page.
ENWW Print settings 45
● Margins: In the Settings pane, you can change the margins between the printed image and the page
boundaries.
● Rotation: You can rotate the page and image by multiples of 90°, or select automatic rotation (the default
behavior), which seeks to minimize the use of paper.
NOTE: The Top, Bottom, Left, and Right elds when cropping or adjusting margins always take into
account the current rotation of the page (if any) as seen in the preview.
Paper source options
With these options, you can specify how the page should be printed on the available paper sources.
● Paper source: You can select a roll or single sheets, or select Any to tell HP SmartStream to select the
paper source automatically.
● Roll width: You can select the desired roll width, or select Any to tell HP SmartStream to select the roll
automatically.
● Alignment: You can specify how pages should be aligned on the roll.
● Margins: You can change the margins between the roll edges and and the page.
● Destination: You can select the destination of the printed output if the printer oers a choice. For example,
you may be able to choose between a basket and a stacker. If no choice is available, this option is not
shown.
A Manual mode checkbox may be provided if the printer has a stacker that oers this option. If you check
the box, before the page is printed you will be reminded to put the printer into manual mode (it cannot be
done automatically).
● Folding style: If the printer has a folder installed, you can assign a folding style, display the folding style in
the preview, or create a new folding style (if the folder allows you to do that). For more information on
folding styles, see the printer or folder user’s guide. This option is not shown if no folder is available.
NOTE: With auto-rotation enabled, pages with the folder as destination are rotated depending on the
selected folding style; see the list of rules below.
To help users to set rotation automatically for a job when there is a folding style selected, automatic
rotation is applied if any of the following folding style families are selected: DIN, inverse DIN, fan fold only,
mailer, or a custom folding style.
Autorotation applies the following rules:
● If page width is greater than or equal to page height (B ≥ A), rotate 270°.
● If page width is less than page height (B < A), rotate 180°.
● If page width is less than page height (B ≤ A), and page height is less than or equal to 305 mm, and
page width is less than or equal to 229mm (A ≤ 305 mm && B ≤ 229 mm), rotate 270°.
● If page width is greater than page height (B > A), and page width is less than or equal to 305 mm, and
page height is less than or equal to 229 mm (B ≤ 305 mm && A ≤ 229 mm), rotate 180°.

5 Print preview
The preview pane shows what your nal print will look like, and adds a visual indication of margins and clipping
(if any).
The preview pane can be enlarged by dragging the left pane border further to the left, or maximized by clicking
the maximize button in the top right corner of the pane.
You can zoom in or out by using the Zoom drop-down menu (above the preview), or by pressing the Ctrl key and
moving the mouse wheel. You can also zoom in on a particular section of the preview by clicking and dragging to
form a rectangle enclosing that section.
48 Chapter 5 Print preview ENWW
If you have zoomed in so that the preview is too big to t in the available space, you can view dierent parts of it
by using the scroll bars, or by pressing the space bar and dragging the image with the mouse (panning). If you
have a mouse wheel, you can use it to pan vertically or (with the Shift key) horizontally.
The interactive preview also allows you to adjust the paper and the page freely with the Move tool, or rotate left
or right with the Rotate buttons.
Image, page, and roll
HP SmartStream distinguishes between the image, the page, and the roll.
The documents you want to print consist of one or more pages, called original pages. For each original page, you
can select it completely or crop it to select a particular part of it. The part of the original page selected for
printing is called the image.
Images are laid out on destination pages, called simply pages in HP SmartStream. The destination page is the
output you want to print. If cutting lines are requested, they will be drawn around this page. By default, the
destination page size is the same as the image size, but you can dene a dierent page size which may create
margins between the image and the page. When there is a dierence between the image size and the page size,
you can set how the image is aligned within the page in the page options in the Settings pane: see Print settings
on page 40.
Pages are printed on rolls of paper. The roll can be wider than the page, in which case you can set how the page
is aligned within the roll in the paper source options in the Settings pane: see Print settings on page 40.
Preview features
A preview shows the whole roll width (not just the page), and it shows the page boundaries and image
boundaries if they are dierent. All previews are marked with boundaries in various ways:
● The background color of the page is white; any part of the roll outside the page is colored light gray.
● Printer margins are shown as dashed gray lines.
● If the image size diers from the page size, the boundaries of the image are shown as blue lines.
The printed image may be clipped for dierent reasons; these are indicated by warning icons in the job
preparation pane, and visually marked in the preview:
● Part of the image falls outside the page: The image is cropped, and the cropped edge is shown with a solid
yellow line. Also, the page options in the Settings pane include a negative margin.
● Part of the page falls outside the roll: That part of the page is highlighted in yellow. Also, the paper source
options in the Settings pane include a negative margin.
● One image is overlapped by another.
If the clipping indicated in the preview is not acceptable, there are various ways to avoid it, such as:
● Choose a wider roll.
● Reduce the widths of the margins (if possible).
● Rotate the page and/or the image.
● Rescale the page and/or the image.
If the folder style does a cross and fan fold, the preview shows a green rectangle in the appropriate corner. If the
folder style only does a fan fold, the rectangle is shown at the top or bottom, across the whole width of the roll.
ENWW Image, page, and roll 49
How can I use the color proong preview to see the real colors that will be printed?
Click the button.
How can I remove white areas from the edges of the page?
You can do this easily and automatically by selecting Remove white areas, which is one of the cropping options in the print
settings. See Print settings on page 40.
Preview tools
The preview is interactive: it permits image manipulation using the tools provided in the preview pane:
● The Rotate buttons allow you to rotate the image.
● The Move tool allows you to select the image (click the image) or the page (click the edge of the page), and
move it to a new position on the paper.
You can also use the Move tool to resize an image, by dragging a corner of the image. To maintain the
image proportions (the aspect ratio), hold down the Shift key while resizing.
NOTE: The Move tool is disabled if the job has not been assigned to a printer.
Undock the preview
You can undock the preview into its own separate window by clicking the button at the top right of the
preview pane. This gives you more space for the other panes in the SmartStream window.
To return the preview to the SmartStream window, click the button at the top right of the preview window.
Mirror
Mirroring allows you to reect an image horizontally or vertically.
For horizontal mirroring, click the Horizontal Mirror icon , and for vertical mirroring click the Vertical Mirror icon

Crystal Preview
If HP SmartStream nds problems in a PDF le, in some cases it can continue and print the le, but the thumbnail
and preview may not correctly represent the nal print. In these cases, you can display an accurate soft-proong
preview by clicking the button near the bottom left of the preview pane. The following scenarios
require the Crystal Preview, which uses the Adobe Libraries:
● Fonts are used but not found in the PDF le nor in the system.
● Some PDF layers are enabled or disabled dierently, depending on whether they are viewed or printed.
● There are references to external documents or images.
● Embedded PostScript (EPS) is contained in the PDF le.
The Crystal Preview provides an accurate preview whatever the characteristics of the le, showing you exactly
what will be printed, so that you can evaluate the printed colors, and judge for yourself the eect of any
problems in the le. However, the Crystal Preview may take longer to generate than the default preview. It
performs full color management (see Color management on page 59), and can understand and handle the
following PDF features correctly:
● Output intent
● Transparency
ENWW Crystal Preview 51
● Overprinting
● Rendering spot colors with the HP Professional PANTONE Emulation Library
While the computer is busy generating a Crystal Preview, the toolbar buttons in the Preview pane are disabled.

Submit jobs for printing
From the job preparation pane, you can submit the selected job(s) for printing by clicking the Print job button at
the top right.
Jobs are checked for possible problems before being added to the printing queue. If any problems are found, you
can choose between the following options:
● Modify settings: The job is not added to the printing queue but is kept in the job preparation pane so that
you can try to solve the problems.
● Continue anyway: The job is added to the printing queue without modication. If the problem consists of
clipping an image, the image will be clipped. Other problems, such as a paper type mismatch, may cause a
pause and notication while printing.
Filtered and unchecked pages
If you have hidden some pages by using a lter (see Filter pages on page 39), they disappear from the screen
and are not printed. However, if you remove the lter, those pages reappear in the job preparation pane.
If you have excluded some pages by unchecking the box in the Print column, they remain visible on the screen.
When you click Print job and the job is printed, the excluded pages are not printed, but they are added to the
history together with the printed pages.
Job separators (HP PageWide XL only)
A job separator is a page of information about a printing job. If you have chosen to print job separators, a
separator is printed as soon as all pages of the job have been printed, regardless of the First page on top setting.
You can choose to print job separators in the printer-specic preferences (for all jobs of a particular printer), or in
the job options (for a particular job). A job separator is not counted as part of the job for accounting purposes.
ENWW Submit jobs for printing 55
It is sent to the same destination as the last printed page, with the same width as the last printed page, and the
same height as the last printed page plus 5 cm. It is printed in grayscale (no color).
A job with collated copies has a separator for each collated copy.
A job separator is indicated in the printing queue and history as ‘(+1)’ after the stated number of pages of the job.
It is not indicated in the job preparation pane.
Printing queue
You can monitor the printing process by clicking Printing queue near the top of the window.
In the printing queue tab, you can see the progress of each job and document in the active printer queue,
including the destination of the print, which may be the stacker, the folder, or the basket.
At the top of the printing queue are the Cancel all and Hold all buttons, which can be clicked to cancel or put on
hold all jobs in the queue. There is also a Release all button to release all jobs that have been held.
56 Chapter 6 Printing ENWW
In the Actions column, at job level only, there is a Cancel button to cancel the job. If the job has not started
printing, there is also a Hold button to put the job on hold, and a Modify settings button that returns the job to
the job preparation pane so that you can modify the print settings.
If you are printing to an HP PageWide XL printer:
● You can cancel only your own jobs from the application. You can cancel jobs created by other people from
the printer’s front panel.
● You can change the order of the jobs in the queue.
The job at the top of the queue is printed rst, and any jobs added to the queue are added at the bottom. You can
change the order of the jobs in the queue by dragging a job into a
dierent position, except for jobs that are
currently printing or about to be printed. You cannot drag a job to a dierent printer.
Before printing, each page of a job is checked for mismatches between the job settings and the loaded roll (for
instance, the wrong paper type is loaded). If there is a mismatch, you can resolve the problem by modifying the
print settings, loading a dierent roll, or canceling the job.
Job status
● The current status of a job is displaying below the printing progress bar. A normal, successful job passes
through the following states: Waiting to process in printer*, Waiting to process**, Processing in printer*,
Processing**, Waiting to print, Printing, Printed.
● If the job encounters some problem, you may see: Paused, Failed.
● If you interrupt the job in some way, you may see: On hold in printer*, On hold for mismatch, Canceling,
Canceled, Pausing, Printer paused*, Releasing.
● In the Finishing column, you may see: Servicing*, Stacking, Folding, Completed.
* HP PageWide printers only
** HP DesignJet printers only
Printing interruptions
There are various situations in which printing may be interrupted, such as:
● A paper jam in the printer
● A problem with the cutter, stacker, or folder
● The printer runs out of paper
● The printer runs out of ink
● The connection to the printer has been lost
● A page cannot be rendered for one of various possible reasons
● The printer is paused, perhaps because a cover is open
In such situations, a popup window explains what has happened, and oers options depending on the situation.
For example:
● Paper jam: If there is a paper jam, you will have to clear the jam and restart the printer. This means that the
job that was printing when the jam occurred will be left uncompleted, and the whole job will appear in the
history with the unprinted pages marked as failed.
● Out of paper: If the current roll runs out of paper, there are various possible consequences. These depend
on the validation mode (see Printer-specic preferences on page 15) and the job settings (such as roll ID)
ENWW Printing interruptions 57
that you assigned. In some cases, if the printer nds another roll of the required paper type and roll width,
it will continue printing automatically; in these cases, a page that was interrupted while printing is normally
reprinted in full on the second roll. Such a page is marked with a warning in the history.
You may see the following options in an out-of-paper situation:
– Cancel: This cancels the job and moves it to the history.
– Modify settings: This cancels the job and moves it back to the job preparation pane.
– Assigned roll/Continue: This allows you to choose a roll of the same or greater width to continue
printing the current job.
– Hold: This puts the current job on hold.
If the connection to the printer is lost or printing is impossible for some other reason, the current job is canceled
and the jobs remaining in the queue are put on hold. You can chose to print the jobs when the printer problem
has been xed.
Cancel jobs
There are three ways of canceling print jobs:
● In the printing queue, click the Cancel button in the Actions column, next to the job name, to cancel that job.
● In the printing queue, click the Cancel all button at the top of the queue to cancel all jobs for a particular
printer.
NOTE: With an HP PageWide XL printer, all jobs for that printer are shown, but Cancel all cancels only the
HP SmartStream jobs.
● Use the printer’s front panel to cancel the job that is currently printing. Any other jobs for that printer in the
HP SmartStream queue are also canceled.
Exit the application while printing
If you are printing to an HP DesignJet printer, and you try to close the HP SmartStream application while there
are still jobs in the printing queues, you are warned and oered the opportunity to change your mind. If you go
ahead and close the application, any jobs in the printing queues are canceled and moved to the history.
This does not occur if you are printing to an HP PageWide XL printer, because in that case the queue is stored in
the printer.
58 Chapter 6 Printing ENWW
7 Color management
HP SmartStream provides many advanced color management features with a very simple user interface. ICC V4
and V2 color proles are fully supported for all supported le types, plus black point compensation, PDF output
intent, HP Professional PANTONE emulation, and Crystal Preview soft-proong (see Crystal Preview on page 51).
HP Professional PANTONE Emulation (HP PPE) is a technology that replaces PANTONE color names with RGB or
CMYK colors calculated specically for your printer and paper at print time, in the same way that professional
graphic artists and prepress professionals prepare PANTONE emulations by hand. The results are professional-
quality emulations of PANTONE colors that look as similar to the originals as possible with a given combination of
printer and paper.
Crystal Preview soft-proong uses the Adobe Libraries to emulate on your screen what your print will look like
on paper, using color proles provided with your printer to take account of the characteristics of paper, ink, and
printing mode.
Supported color spaces
● PDF: Any color space supported by PDF 1.7
● JPEG: Gray, RGB, CMYK, and ITU/Fax CIE L
*

● HPGL2: Adobe RGB, sRGB, and Device RGB
Color options
Color management is automatically applied by HP SmartStream to provide optimal color output. However, you
can choose between two color management options in the Preferences window (see Printer-specic preferences
on page 15):
● Relative colorimetric: This is the default option. It favors more saturated colors and modern CMYK
standards. It uses relative colorimetric rendering intent and black point compensation, sRGB IEC 61966-2.1
as the default RGB color space, and ISO Coated v2 as the default CMYK color space.
● Perceptual: This option provides color consistency with a printer using a PostScript driver. It uses perceptual
rendering intent, sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 as the default RGB color space, and SWOP as the default CMYK color
space.
ENWW 59
8 History
The history preserves a record of printed jobs in case you want to reprint any of them later; perhaps with
changed settings.
NOTE: You can also save jobs outside the history, using the icon in the toolbar. See Toolbar on page 27.
The history contains a tab for each printer, which has its own separate history.
The history includes various items of information about the original job, including its success or failure.
To manage the size of the history, you can set a time limit in the general preferences: jobs older than this are
deleted from the history. See General preferences on page 14.
How can I reprint from the history in case of a mismatch?
Click the Reprint button, and correct the mismatch by changing the loaded paper or changing the print settings in the job
preparation tab.
Search the history
There is a search eld that you can use to search for past jobs or documents by name.
Reprint a job
To reprint a job, click the Reprint button in the job action column.
● If the job was printed on an HP PageWide XL printer, the reprint is done by the printer.
● In the case of other printers, the job is returned to the job preparation pane for error detection; if there are
no errors, the job moves automatically to the printing queue and is sent to the active printer. If you want to
change the printer, click and hold the Prepare to print button, which displays a menu of all the available
printers; select the one you want.
NOTE: You can reprint only a whole job; you cannot select part of a job. You can select the number of copies.
NOTE: If the printer no longer has the same rolls available, there may be a mismatch between the job and the
available rolls, in which case you are oered the opportunity to modify the job settings.
Recongure a job
To change settings or revalidate an old job, click the Prepare to print button in the job action column. The job is
moved to the job preparation pane.
Any settings that were originally set automatically are recalculated, which may change the settings, depending
on the rolls loaded. Settings that were set manually remain unchanged. You may change any of the settings
manually.

9 Folding
If your printer has a folder installed, you can select the folding style as one of the print options. See Paper source
options on page 46. At the same time, you can choose to print jobs in reverse order whenever the folder is in
use.
If the folder permits custom folding styles, you can create them by selecting Create from the folding style print
option and then lling in the specications of your custom folding style.
62 Chapter 9 Folding ENWW
You can specify in the dialog the dimensions of your custom folding style. You can also choose from the
following options:
● Fan-fold only: The folding style is fan-fold, and has no cross-fold part.
● Compensation: The folding style performs compensation if necessary.
● Tabs: The folding style uses tabs (this option appears only if the folder has tabs).
NOTE: If you are using an HP PageWide printer, any custom folding style created with the printer’s control
panel will automatically be synchronized to HP SmartStream.
You can specify in the application preferences whether you want to see the dimensions of the folded paper
indicated in green in the preview. See General preferences on page 14.
NOTE: In some cases, the folded dimensions may not be shown because the application does not know them.
The green rectangle in the preview indicates which part of the page will be on top after folding. If the page
contains some header or summary information describing its contents, you may want to ensure that this is in the
green rectangle, so that it will be easily visible once the page has been folded. To move the contents of the page,
ENWW 63
you can use the rotation, alignment, and/or margins options (among the paper source options in the settings
pane).
The following steps are recommended to check that the required content is in the green rectangle, and to adjust
the page if necessary:
1. Set the default alignment between page and roll in the preferences so that the page is placed on the
correct side of the roll (see Printer-specic preferences on page 15). You need to do this only once.
2. Select the rst page of the job to see it in the preview.
3. Zoom in on the green rectangle. You may want to maximize the preview.
4. If required, use the E key on the keyboard to rotate the page 90° counterclockwise or the R key to rotate
90° clockwise.
5. Use the down-arrow navigation key to select and preview the next page.

11 Accounting
The icon in the toolbar displays information about the job that may be used for accounting purposes. The icon
appears in the job preparation pane and in the history pane; but some of the information is available only from
the history pane, after the job has been printed.
You can decide in the general preferences (see General preferences on page 14) what information is displayed.
The General tab normally includes:
● Total number of pages; total area of paper printed (not including wasted paper outside the page area); and
total length of paper printed
● Number of pages per paper-type category
● Number of pages per page size
● Number of pages per color mode
● Number of pages per page length
● Area of paper used per print-coverage category
NOTE: A job analysis module is available that can calculate the print coverage per page in advance, so
that you can plan your jobs.
In the general preferences (see General preferences on page 14), you can move two sliders to adjust the three
print-coverage categories shown in this tab.
70 Chapter 11 Accounting ENWW
The units of measurement used in the job details are those you have chosen for the application in general.
If you have selected the Preight desk, you will see here only the page counts, with no paper types nor printed
area.
You can click the Export button to export the job details to a le in the PDF or CSV format.
If you have chosen to gather page accounting data from the printer (see Printer-specic preferences
on page 15), the history pane will contain an icon to access the accounting data.
The Accounting tab contains information that you can attach to the job for accounting purposes.
ENWW 71
You can select a previously-created template from the Use template list as an alternative to lling in the elds
manually. To create a template, click Create at the bottom of the Use template list. Accounting templates are
saved in My Documents\HP SmartStream\Accounting templates with the .smat extension (HP SmartStream
Accounting Template le).
The Work log tab contains a summary of the settings that were applied to the printed pages, and a summary of
any unsolvable issues.
If you want a higher level of accounting details, such as getting to know which users sent jobs to print, and
generating and customizing reports with accounting information, consider using HP SmartTracker software. Your
support representative can give you more information about HP SmartTracker.

12 Submission Driver
The HP SmartStream Submission Driver enables you to send content from any application (including CAD and
graphics applications) and any le format (including DWF, DWG, Microsoft Oce, and so on) to be prepared and
printed with HP SmartStream. The Submission Driver appears among your system’s list of printers and creates a
package containing the content to be printed plus the print instructions and accounting information. Once
submitted, the package is sent to the hot folder monitored by HP SmartStream (see Hot folders on page 18).
The Submission Driver is an ideal companion for HP SmartStream in enterprise environments with Central
Reprographic Departments (see Distributed workows on page 5), or for anyone using applications that are
unable to save HP SmartStream-supported le formats (see Color management on page 59).
HP Applications Center
In particular, the Submission Driver enables you to use HP SmartStream to prepare and print les from the
HP Applications Center. To set this up:
1. Click .
2. Click the Hot folders tab.
3. Add a new incoming hot folder and enter its path and name.
4. Check the box Get les from Applications Center.
5. Enter the Applications Center URL, and your username and password.
ENWW 73
The hot-folder toolbar icon will notify you of any Applications Center les in the hot folder, as usual.
Restrict account IDs
By default, the Submission Driver accepts any account ID entered by the user, but it can be set up to oer a
closed list of permissible account IDs.
1. Go to the driver’s Advanced tab and select Account IDs le.
2. Enter the name of a CSV le containing the list of permissible account IDs.
The CSV le can be automatically generated from HP SmartStream, using the account IDs known to the
application. In the General tab of the application preferences, click the Export button and select a folder in which
to create the le.

A Optional modules for advanced users
Three optional modules are available for HP SmartStream: the document organizer module, the pixel analysis
module, and the workow management module.
Each module requires a specic electronic license. If the license is not present, the features of the module will
not appear in the application.
Document organizer module
The document organizer module allows you to track les that you have already added to a job, and to rename
documents and pages in several dierent ways.
Tracking les added to the job
The application remembers which les you have added to your job. When you use the HP SmartStream le
explorer to locate more les to add, any les in the folder that you have already added are marked with a blue
dot.
Files that are added by dragging and dropping are also remembered.
However, the application no longer remembers the added les after the job has been printed.
Rename pages
Documents and pages can be renamed in three dierent ways: manual renaming, batch renaming, and OCR
renaming.
ENWW Document organizer module 77
Renaming overwrites the original les. Therefore, if you want to retain the original les, copy them before
renaming.
If you rename a single page of a multipage PDF le, the page is extracted from the original document.
DWF, HP-GL/2, and TIFF les are not supported for renaming.
Manual renaming
You can rename one or more documents or pages manually.
To rename a page manually:
● Right-click the current page name in the job preparation pane, and select Rename from the popup menu.
● Alternatively, ensure that the page is selected, and press F2.
Press Enter to conrm the new name.
To rename the next page, press Tab. To rename the previous page, press Shift Tab.
Manual renaming can also be done in the settings pane.
If you enter a name that is already in use, the application will suggest another name.
78 Appendix A Optional modules for advanced users ENWW
If you select multiple pages to rename at once, the name you enter will be used for all pages, with an added
numerical sux to distinguish between them. The sux for the rst page will be 1, 01, or 001, depending on the
number of renamed pages.
Batch renaming
You can rename multiple documents or pages in a single batch.
First select the pages you want to rename in the job preparation pane. If none are selected, all pages will be
renamed.
Near the left of the column headers in the job preparation pane, click and then Renaming Center.
The following dialog box appears, in which you can specify the new lenames that you want to use.
The new page names can be composed of a prex, a main part, a sux, and the lename extension (which you
cannot edit).
You can ll each part of the new name by entering text (avoid using special characters), and/or by clicking one of
the variables below: le name, le page number. and so on.
If used, the Current date variable is displayed in the standard format that you have selected in your operating
system.
By default, the sux consists of a numerical counter, starting from 1, 01, or 001, depending on the number of
renamed pages. But this is not obligatory: you can remove the counter from the sux. Alternatively, you can
change the starting value and format of the counter by clicking the icon in the counter.
ENWW Document organizer module 79
When you have specied how you want to rename the pages, click Rename to start renaming.
While the renaming operation is in progress, you can cancel it at any time. If you cancel it, all pages are restored
to the names they had at the beginning of the operation.
By default, the renamed les remain in their original folder, but you can specify a dierent batch-rename save
folder in the preferences; see General preferences on page 14.
NOTE: Any pages whose extensions are not supported by the application will not be renamed.
NOTE: If you try to give a le a name that already exists in the same folder, the application will modify the new
name automatically.
OCR renaming
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition: the software technique of interpreting pixels as text. You can use
this technique to obtain a lename to be used in renaming.
First select the pages you want to rename in the job preparation pane. If none are selected, all pages will be
renamed.
Near the left of the column headers in the job preparation pane, click and then Renaming Center.
In the Renaming Center dialog box, click Dene OCR areas.
80 Appendix A Optional modules for advanced users ENWW
In the preview pane, you can dene up to three OCR areas containing text to be used in renaming. Each area is
dened by drawing a rectangle around it on the preview image, enclosing the text.
Areas can be added, modied, or deleted.
When you have specied in the Renaming Center dialog box how you want to rename the pages, click Rename to
start renaming.
Autoproles
During Optical Character Recognition you can select Autoprole, in which case the application will try to detect a
pattern in the text.
ENWW Document organizer module 81
The autoprole has a tooltip that shows the autodetected pattern.
Creating OCR proles
This tab enables you to save named OCR proles, each one specifying rules for interpreting scanned text.
Create a new OCR prole
1. Click Create.
2. Enter a name for the new prole.
3. Enter the prole specication. You can enter characters directly and/or drag one of the patterns shown
below.
4. Click Save to save the new prole.
Your OCR proles are listed on the left; you can reorder the list, and delete proles from it (right-click, then
Delete).
OCR simulation
In the Renaming Center, you can click OCR simulation to check the OCR results before applying them. The OCR
simulation window then appears, in which you can see the OCR results and manually correct any that need
adjustment. You can choose dierent OCR proles (see Creating OCR proles on page 82) and see the results.
82 Appendix A Optional modules for advanced users ENWW
When you have nished with this window, you can click Apply to apply the results as displayed, or Cancel not to
apply them. Both buttons close the window.
Zoom to legend box
In preview zoom drop-down menu, select Zoom to legend box. This displays the title box in the viewport and
helps you to identify and focus on a document’s legend box.
Add metadata
First select in the job preparation pane the pages to which you want to add metadata. If none are selected, the
metadata will be added to all pages.
Near the left of the column headers in the job preparation pane, click and then Metadata Center.
ENWW Document organizer module 83
In the Metadata Center dialog box, you can enter metadata that will appear in the Label or Discipline column in
the job preparation pane. As in a renaming operation (see Batch renaming on page 79), there are various
variables you can use, including one OCR variable (see OCR renaming on page 80).
When you have specied the metadata you want to add, click Apply.
84 Appendix A Optional modules for advanced users ENWW
Pixel analysis module
With the pixel analysis module, the application can calculate the pixel coverage of pages and classify them into
custom categories that you can set in the preferences. A report then appears in the job details, with an estimate
of the total page cost.
Categories and thresholds
If the pixel analysis module license is active, you will nd the pixel coverage section at the bottom of the
application’s accounting preferences, in which you can specify pixel coverage thresholds and categories.
When you use the application for the rst time, default categories are set up as shown above, with no prices.
You can edit these categories and set prices for each category, per square meter or per page. Costs can be
calculated for the total amount of paper used (the roll width) or only for the paper that is actually printed on (the
page width).
The fth category is optional. To use it, just enter a name of your own choice where you see Custom category on
the screen. You will then see a extra marker in the threshold slider, as shown below.
When you click Save, your changes are saved and applied to all past as well as future jobs.
Calculating pixel coverage
If the pixel analysis module license is active, the Coverage column appears in the job preparation pane. This
column is visible by default, but it can be made to disappear or reappear like the other columns (see How can I
adjust the HP SmartStream window? on page 4).
ENWW Pixel analysis module 85
To analyze pixel coverage, just click in the column header. Pixel coverage can be calculated for a single page,
or for all pages in a job.
When pixel coverage has been calculated, the Coverage column displays two values: the total percentage
coverage of the surface, and the color percentage coverage.
Coverage of pages or documents can be recalculated at any time.
Job details
The job details window includes a table summarizing the pixel coverage analysis, as shown below.
Click Export to export the job details report to a CSV or PDF le. The exported report includes a detailed list of all
pages with page statistics.
86 Appendix A Optional modules for advanced users ENWW
Workow management module
The workow management module allows HP SmartStream to use Job Denition Format (JDF) les.
JDF is a technical standard in use with XML les. HP SmartStream JDF supports job settings such as job name,
job copies, and collate; and document settings such as number of copies, color mode, and destination.
When a JDF le is added it will be analyzed as a separate job, regardless of the job in which it was inserted.
Once the JDF le has been analyzed, only the les referenced by the JDF will exist as documents in the
application; the JDF le itself is not preserved as an item within the application (as with SMJ and ZIP les).
Ink-density prole
The ink-density prole allows you to select the percentage of ink to be used for printing a job, if your printer
supports this feature.
ENWW Workow management module 87
B How to use non-HP printers with
HP SmartStream
Introduction
HP SmartStream can print to some non-HP large-format printers by using specic drivers, each of which may
cover multiple non-HP printers. Here is the list of ocially supported printers and their drivers:
Printer model Windows driver

Installing the printer
Before you can add any printers, the software must be non-HP licensed. The license for non-HP printers will
enable the non-HP mode in SmartStream, so the user will be able to print to multiple non-HP printers with only
one license.
88 Appendix B How to use non-HP printers with HP SmartStream ENWW
Contact your HP sales representative to acquire an EON code with a non-HP full license (T9B46AAE:
HP SmartStream Print Controller for Non-HP MV-HV devices E-LTU). You can test the new functionality by using
the trial license for non-HP printers for 60 days. See how to get the EON code for the trial license here:
http://www.hp.com/go/smartstreampagewidexl/software.
Once the non-HP license is added to the License Manager, follow the instructions below to add non-HP printers:
1. Click Preferences near the top right of the window.
2. Click the Printers tab.
3. Click the Add printer button.
4. Click Add non-HP large format printer (visible only when there are compatible printer drivers installed in the
system).
5. Give the printer a name (optionally) and select a driver.
NOTE: Only drivers that are installed and compatible with HP Smartstream will appear; so you must
install the driver in advance.
6. Click the Add button.
Preparing a job
Non-HP printers are driver-supported in HP SmartStream, which means that there are some dierences in
functionality compared with HP printers. In the job preparation or settings pane you will be able to edit only the
following print settings for each page:
● General settings: Color mode
● Page options: Page size, scale, orientation, alignment on page, rotation on page
● Cropping
● Advanced options: Copies
Print settings can be changed in either the job preparation pane or the settings pane. Other settings must be
dened at job level, with the icon.
ENWW Preparing a job 89
Here you can dene the following job settings or actions:
● Copies
● Collate
● Revert to original page order
● Revert to custom page order
● Print job
● Extract
● Delete job
For non-HP printers, Advanced options at job level is enabled within the above list. Select this option to open the
printer driver. Here you can change driver default values and save them, so that they apply to the whole job. In
this way, you can dene additional settings such as the output destination or print quality.
However, the following driver settings will not be saved: they are always overwritten by those dened at page
level in the job preparation pane.
● General settings: Color mode
● Page options: Page size, scale, orientation, alignment on page, rotation on page
Therefore, you are not recommended to change these settings in the driver.
Other considerations
Non-HP printer integration in HP SmartStream has some limitations compared with HP printers in the following
areas.
Printer status
Only the following statuses are reported:
● Ready
● Paused
● Error
90 Appendix B How to use non-HP printers with HP SmartStream ENWW

● Cropping
Printer preferences
Only the following settings are available:
● Printer name
● Print quality
● Remove white areas
● Rotation
● Page/image alignment
● Roll/page alignment
● Content in printer margin
● Color options
● Nesting
Other limitations
● Print-preview orientation inconsistency: If the printer has a Save paper setting activated, the orientation of
the HP SmartStream preview may not match the orientation of the print.
● Long plots: Some printers may not permit prints longer than 5 m, which will be canceled.
