increase copy speed or quality
The HP Officejet provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.
• Best produces the highest quality for all paper types and eliminates the 
banding (striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies 
more slowly than the other quality settings. 
• Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for 
most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.
• Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is of comparable 
quality to the Normal setting, but the graphics may be of lower quality. 
Using Fast also cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print 
cartridges, because it uses less ink.
