300: Produces draft print quality at the printer’s

 

FASTRES 1200

maximum speed (16 ppm). 300 dpi (dots per

 

PRORES 1200

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 (16 ppm).

 

 

FASTRES 1200: Produces optimum print

 

 

quality (comparable to 1200 dpi) at the printer’s

 

 

maximum speed (16 ppm).

 

 

PRORES 1200: Produces optimum print quality

 

 

(true 1200 dpi) at half the printer’s maximum

 

 

speed (8 ppm).

 

 

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.
