Optimizing print quality for media types

Media type settings control the temperature of your printer's fuser. You can change the settings for the media that you are using to optimize the print quality.

You can access the optimizing feature from the Paper/Quality tab in your printer driver or from the embedded web server.

The HP LaserJet 1022, 1022n, and 1022nw printers provide a number of print modes that allow the unit to adapt more specifically to the printer's media environment. The following tables provide an overview of the driver print modes.

NOTE	When using the CARDSTOCK, ENVELOPE, LABEL, and ROUGH modes, the printer
	pauses between pages and the number of pages per minute decreases.
