Printing In Landscape Orientation
Works takes advantage of the printer’s ability to automatically rotate fonts. Therefore, to print in landscape orientation, no additional drivers or commands are needed. Simply reverse the page length and width in the document’s margin settings.

Using HP-Compatible Downloadable Fonts
You can use HP-compatible downloadable fonts with the LaserPrinter 8II by using the corresponding HP LaserJet printer driver. Choose the LaserJet Series IID or IIP as the model for the best compatibility.

Supported Features
Graphics printing is supported at 75, 150, and 300 dpi.

Bold, italic, and bold-italic are available on all internal fonts on the LaserPrinter 8II. These attributes may or may not be available on cartridge fonts. The cartridge label will list all available attributes for the cartridge. If a font is available on both the cartridge and internally, the cartridge attributes will override the internal attributes.
