increase copy speed or quality

The HP OfficeJet provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.

•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.

•Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.

•Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is of comparable quality to the Normal setting, but the graphics may be of lower quality. Using Fast also cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges, because it uses less ink.

1Load your original on the glass or in the ADF.

2Press Quality until the green light in front of the desired quality is lit.

3 Press Start Copy, Black or Start Copy, Color.
