Production mode is a fast print mode that gives acceptable
image quality for some purposes. It is available only with dye-
based inks and certain specific HP paper types: Coated,
Heavyweight Coated, Productivity Gloss, and Productivity Semi-
Gloss. When one of these paper types is loaded, the front panel
announces that Production mode is available.
If you select Production mode when using a printing material
that does not support Production mode, the printer will print in
Productivity mode.
If you decide to use a non-HP printing material, see
using non-hp
printing materials
on page 60.

Press the Print Quality key repeatedly until you see two green
lights, beside Productivity and Max Speed. The two lights

However, remember that the print mode selected in the front
panel is ignored if you have set a different mode in the printer
driver or in WebAccess.
selecting production mode using the printer driver
To select Production mode in the printer driver, you must select
the Max Speed mode with the Enhanced IQ option. The exact
method of doing this depends on the driver; see the examples
