Print Quality

The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down box and the EconoMode check box.

The default setting for Print Quality is FastRes 1200.

This setting controls resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is improved. However, higher resolution might also result in longer printing times. The following Print Quality options are available in the drop-down box:

FastRes 1200

600 dpi

Select the EconoMode check box in conjunction with any of the print quality settings. When using EconoMode, the device uses less toner on each page. Using this option might extend the life of the print cartridge and can lower the cost per page, but also reduces print quality. Using the EconoMode feature with non-HP print cartridges can result in toner spillage or device damage.
