Imaging Options

You can adjust the saturation, brightness, and color tone of printed images by moving the slider bar on the Imaging tab. The saturation controls the relative purity of printed colors. The brightness darkens or lightens the printed image. The color tone controls the perceived warmth and coolness of printed colors.

shades of gray.

high-contrast shades of gray making your

sharpen the image.

 

 

Preferences

The Preferences tab lets you set whether or not a document prints immediately, a print preview is displayed, or a print confirmation is displayed. It also lets you change what happens when the media width sensor detects that the page is not wide enough.

Note: The Preference tab also lets you change the amount of time a page is left to dry before the next page prints. Each paper type has a default dry time.

Ink Volume is a slider that increases or decreases the amount of ink used, which affects the way colors appear on the page.

Printing from DOS Software Programs

When printing from DOS, you can adjust print settings in two ways: in the HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS and from within your DOS application’s printer driver.

HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS

You have access to many printer features through application specific DOS printer drivers; however, some software manufacturers do not develop printer drivers for their DOS applications. Use the DeskJet Control Panel to specify the default printer settings for printing from DOS applications.
