Understanding print quality settings
Print quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style in which the graphics are
printed. You can also use the print quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type. See
Optimizing print quality for media types on page 17 for more information.
You can change the settings in the printer properties to accommodate the types of jobs you are printing. The
following are the settings:
●
FastRes 1200: This setting provides 1200 dpi effective output quality (600 x 600 x 2 dpi with
HP Resolution Enhancement technology [REt]).
●
600 dpi: This setting provides 600 x 600 dpi output with Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) for
improved text.
●
EconoMode (Save Toner): Text is printed using less toner. This setting is useful when you are printing
drafts. You can turn on this option independently of other print quality settings.
1. Access the printer properties (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See
Printer properties
(driver) on page 8 for instructions.
2. On the Finishing tab, select the print quality setting you want to use.
NOTE: Not all printer features are available in all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties
(driver) online Help for information about the availability of features for that driver.
NOTE: To change the print quality settings for all future print jobs, access the properties through the Start
menu in the Windows task bar. To change the print quality settings only for the current software application,
access the properties through the Print Setup menu in the application you are using to print. See
Printer
properties (driver) on page 8 for more information.
