You can set the number of copies from 1 to 99 using the front panel.

increase copy speed or quality

The HP Fax provides three options that affect copy speed and quality; Best, Normal, and Fast.

1Load your original in the ADF.

2Press Copy until Copy Quality appears.

3Press until the desired quality setting appears, and then press Enter to select it.

–Best produces the highest quality for all paper 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.

4Press Start, Black or Start, Color.

make copies lighter or darker

Use Lighter/Darker to adjust the lightness and darkness of the copies you make.

1Press Copy until Lighter/Darker appears.

The range of Lighter/Darker values appears as a circle on a scale on the front-panel display.

2Press to lighten the copy or to darken it. The circle moves to the left or right, depending on the button you press. Press Enter to select the setting.

3Press Start, Black or Start, Color.
