increase copy speed or quality

The HP PSC 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.

•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.

•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 cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges, because it uses less ink.
