Print quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style that the graphics are printed. You can also use the print quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type. See Optimizing print quality for media types for more information.
You can change the settings in the printer Properties to accommodate the types of jobs you are printing. The following are the settings:
●1200 dpi: (HP LaserJet 1320 series printer only) This setting uses ProRes 1200 to provide
●1200 dpi effective output quality: This setting provides 1200 dpi effective output quality using FastRes 1200.
●600 dpi: This setting provides 600 x 600 dpi output with Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) for improved text.
●EconoMode (Saves Toner): Text is printed using less toner. This setting is useful when you are printing drafts. You can turn on this option independently of other print quality settings. See Using EconoMode (saves toner) for more information.
