increase copy speed or quality

The HP Fax provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.

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 might be of lower quality. Using Fast reduces the frequency of replacing your print cartridges, because it uses less ink.

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.

1Load your original face down and top first in the document feeder tray. For more information, see load originals.

2Press Copy until Copy Quality appears in the top line of the display. The following options are available in the Copy Quality menu.
