Resolution Enhancement technology (REt)

The Formatter PCA contains circuitry for Resolution Enhancement technology (REt), which modifies the standard video dot data on its way to the DC Controller to produce smoothed black-to-white boundaries. REt is user-adjustable from some software applications. Available settings are On or Off.

EconoMode

The EconoMode setting uses approximately 50 percent less toner than standard mode printing by reducing the dot density. However, EconoMode does not extend toner cartridge component life. EconoMode, which can also be thought of as “draft mode,” is user-selectable through some software applications. The default setting is Off.

Note

EconoMode does not affect print speed or memory usage.

Memory Enhancement technology (MEt)

The Hewlett-Packard Memory Enhancement technology (Met) effectively doubles the standard memory through a variety of font and data compression methods. MEt is only available in PCL mode and is not customer selectable. When using the host-based driver, your PC handles memory management.

Enhanced I/O

The Enhanced I/O feature allows printer memory to be used for storing data received from the host computer. When Enhanced I/O is enabled, you can send more data to your printer in shorter amounts of time, which allows you to return to your application sooner. Enhanced I/O has the following options:

lAuto allows the printer to use Enhanced I/O memory allocation to increase the speed of data transfer from the host computer to the printer, if necessary.

lOff uses the minimum amount of printer memory for storing data sent from the host computer.

Enhanced I/O is only available in PCL mode. When using the host-based driver (HP LaserJet 5L and 6L only), your PC handles memory management.
