Explanation

Change the fuser mode only if you are experiencing problems printing on certain media types. After you select a type of media, you can select a fuser mode that is available for that type. The printer supports the following modes:

NORMAL: Used for most types of paper.

HIGH 2: Used for paper that has a special or rough finish.

HIGH 1: Used for rough paper.

LOW3: Used for transparencies.

LOW2: Used for lightweight media. Use this mode if you are having problems with curled paper.

LOW1: Use this mode if you are experiencing wrinkled media.

The default fuser mode is NORMAL for all print media types except transparencies (LOW3) and rough paper (HIGH1).

CAUTION Do not change the fuser mode for transparencies. Failure to use the LOW3 setting while printing transparencies can result in permanent damage to the printer and fuser. Always select Transparencies as the type in the printer driver and set the tray type at the printer control panel to TRANSPARENCY.

When selected, RESTORE MODES resets the fuser mode for each media type back to its default setting.

Optimizes certain parameters for all jobs rather than (or in addition to) optimizing by paper type.

Selects the resolution. All values print at the same speed.

300: Produces draft print quality and can be used for compatibility with the HP LaserJet III family of printers.

600: Produces high print quality for text and can be used for compatibility with the HP LaserJet 4 family of printers.

FASTRES 600: Produces 600-dpi print quality for fast, high- quality printing of business text and graphics.

NOTE It is best to change the resolution in the program or printer driver. (Program and printer- driver settings override control-panel settings.)

The default setting is FASTRES 600.

Use the Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges.

REt does not affect print quality if the print resolution is set to FastRes 600. All other print resolutions benefit from REt.
