Document preview image

The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up. The document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the Advanced, Paper/Quality, Effects, and Finishing tabs.

Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image. Move the mouse over the document preview image, and the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a gloved hand. Toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking on the image.

Print Quality

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

The Print Quality 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 product 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 product damage.
