FASTRES 1200
PRORES 1200
Select the resolution from the following values:
300
:
 Produces draft print quality at the printer’s 
maximum speed (16 ppm). 300 dpi (dots per 
inch) is recommended for some bitmapped 
fonts and graphics, and for compatibility with 
the HP LaserJet III family of printers.
600
:
 Produces high print quality at the printer’s 
maximum speed (16 ppm).
FASTRES 1200
: 
Produces optimum print
 
quality (comparable to 1200 dpi) at the printer’s 
maximum speed (16 ppm).
PRORES 1200
: 
Produces optimum print quality 
(true 1200 dpi) at half the printer’s maximum 
speed (8 ppm).
When the resolution is changed, any 
downloaded resources (such as fonts or 
macros) will need to be downloaded again, 
unless they are stored on an optional hard disk 
or flash DIMM.
Note
It is best to change the resolution from the printer 
driver or software application. (Driver and 
software settings override control panel 
settings.)
RET=MEDIUM OFF

Use the printer’s Resolution Enhancement 
technology (REt) setting to produce print with 
smooth angles, curves, and edges.
REt does not affect print quality when the print 
resolution is set to ProRes 1200. All other print 
resolutions, including FastRes 1200, benefit 
from REt.
Note
It is best to change the REt setting from the 
printer driver or software application. (Driver 
and software settings override control panel 
settings.)
