Draft mode
Depending on which printer driver is used, selecting “draft” or Economode from the
printer driver allows the HP LaserJet 1100 to use approximately 50% less toner,
extending the life of the toner cartridge.
Memory Enhancement technology (MEt)
The Hewlett-Packard Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) effectively doubles the
standard memory through a variety of font and data compression methods.
Enhanced I/O
The Enhanced I/O feature allows printer memory to be used for storing data received
from the host computer. When Enhanced I/O is enabled, you can send more data to
the printer in shorter amounts of time, which allows you to return to your application
sooner. Enhanced I/O has the following options:
•
Auto
- allows the printer to use Enhanced I/O memory allocating to increase the
speed of data transfer from the host computer to the printer, if necessary.
•
Off
- uses the minimum amount of printer memory for storing data sent from the
host computer.
Page Protect
Page complexity (rules, complex graphics, or dense text) may exceed the printer’s
ability to create the page image fast enough to keep pace with the Image Formation
process. If Page Protect is disabled and a page is too complex, the page may print in
parts (for example, the top half on one page and the bottom half on the next page).
Some print data loss is likely in these instances, and the printer will display an error
message.
Page Protect allows the Formatter to create the entire page image in page buffer
memory before physically moving the paper through the printer. This process ensures
that the entire page will be printed. The default setting is Auto.
