Select the resolution from the following values:

300: Produces draft print quality at the printer’s maximum speed (17 ppm). 300 dpi (dots per inch) is recommended for some bitmapped fonts and graphics, and for compatibility with the HP LaserJet III family of printers.

600: Produces high print quality at the printer’s maximum speed (17 ppm).

FASTRES 1200: Produces optimum print quality (comparable to 1200 dpi) at the printer’s maximum speed (17 ppm). PRORES 1200: Produces optimum print quality (true 1200 dpi) at half the printer’s maximum speed (8 ppm for the HP LaserJet 4000 printer, or at highest print quality at engine speed for the HP LaserJet 4050 printer).

When the resolution is changed, any downloaded resources (such as fonts or macros) will need to be downloaded again, unless they are stored on an optional hard disk or flash DIMM.

Note

It is best to change the resolution from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override Control Panel settings.)
