= SUMMARY =

When trying to print legal landscape on the Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 500 with factory default settings, only the 8.5-inch by 11-inch (portrait landscape) area on the paper is printed.

To print legal landscape on the DeskJet 500, follow these steps:

  From the Print menu, choose Printer Setup. In the Printers box, select HPDJLAND.   Set the A5 DIP switch to the up position. This switch is located on the front of the DeskJet 500, parallel to the power switch.   From the Print menu, choose Page Setup & Margins. In the “Page length:” text box, type 8.5. In the “Page width:” text box, type     From the Print menu, choose Print. 

= MORE INFORMATION =

The 7K (landscape) cartridge is internally installed on the DeskJet 500; therefore, autorotation (that is, portrait landscape) is available with all DeskJet 500 printer drivers.

In order to get the other drivers to print in legal landscape, follow the procedure outlined above. You must also press the FONT button three times so that the “COUR 10/20” light and the “Landscape-orientated PAPER” light are both illuminated.
