| List of available paper types
|
|
| Configures the fuser mode associated with each paper type.
|
| Change the fuser mode only if you are experiencing problems printing on certain paper types. After you select a type of paper, you can select a fuser mode that is available for that type. The product supports the following modes:
|
| NORMAL: Used for most types of paper.
|
| LIGHT1: Used for most types of paper.
|
| LIGHT2: Use this mode if you are experiencing wrinkled media.
|
| HEAVY: Used for rough paper.
|
| The default fuser mode is LIGHT1 for all print media types except transparencies (LIGHT2) and rough paper (HEAVY).
|
| CAUTION:
|
Do not change the fuser mode for transparencies. Failure to use the LIGHT2 setting while printing transparencies can result in permanent damage to the product and fuser. Always select Transparencies as the type in the print driver and set the tray type at the product control panel to TRANSPARENCY.
When selected, RESTORE MODES resets the fuser mode for each paper type back to its default setting.
|
|
| Optimizes certain parameters for all jobs rather than (or in addition to) optimizing by paper type.
|
|
|
| Turn this setting on if you are having problems with blurred print or scattered lines.
|
|
|
|
| Use this item to return all the OPTIMIZE settings to OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
| Select the resolution. All values print at the same speed.
|
| 300: Produces draft print quality and can be used for compatibility with the HP LaserJet III family of products.
|
| 600: Produces high print quality for text and can be used for compatibility with the HP LaserJet 4 family of products.
|
| FASTRES 1200: Produces 1200-dpi print quality for fast, high-quality printing of business text and graphics.
|
| PRORES 1200: Produces 1200-dpi print quality for fast, high-quality printing of line art and graphic images.
|
| NOTE:
|
It is best to change the resolution in the program or print driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control-panel settings.)
|
| The default setting is FASTRES 1200.
|
|
|
|
|
| Use the Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges.
|
| REt does not affect print quality if the print resolution is set to FastRes 1200 or ProRes 1200. All other print resolutions benefit from REt.
|
|
| NOTE:
|
It is best to change the REt setting in the program or print driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control-panel settings.)
|
| The default setting is MEDIUM.
|
|
|
|
|
| EconoMode is a feature that allows the product to use less toner per page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner supply and may reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed page is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
|
| HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.
|
|
| NOTE:
|
It is best to turn EconoMode on or off in the program or printer driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control-panel settings.)
|
| The default setting is OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
| Lighten or darken the print on the page by setting the toner density. Select a setting ranging from 1 (light) to 5 (dark). The default setting of 3 usually produces the best results.
