Printing Remember that, if you leave the setting as Default, the setting saved in the job will be used. If the job contains no setting, the setting in the printer will be used. If you have chosen some non-default settings and expect to reuse the same group of settings in the future, you can save them all under a single name from the Manage presets tab, and recall them using that name later. Print from a computer using a printer driver This is the traditional way of printing from a computer. The correct printer driver must be installed on the computer (see Installing the software on page 14), and the computer must be connected to the product by network or USB cable. If you connect by USB cable, the front panel will ask whether you want to print with a printer driver, or with HP Direct Print. When the printer driver has been installed and the computer is connected to the product, you can print from a software application by using the application's own Print command and selecting the correct printer. Advanced print settings The rest of this chapter explains the various print settings that you can use when printing with a printer driver, the Embedded Web Server or the HP Utility. These methods offer a relatively large number of settings in order to satisfy all requirements. TIP: In general you are recommended to use the default settings unless you know that they do not meet your requirements. TIP: If you intend to reuse a particular group of settings repeatedly, you can save those settings under a name of your own choice and recall them later. A saved group of settings is known as a 'quick set' in the Windows printer driver, and as a 'preset' in the Embedded Web Server. Select print quality The printer has various print-quality options because best-quality printing requires some loss of speed, while fast printing implies some reduction in print quality. Therefore, the standard print-quality selector is a slider that allows you to choose between quality and speed. With some paper types, you can choose a compromise position between the two. Alternatively, you can select from the custom options: Best, Normal and Fast. If you select Fast, you can also select Economode, which uses a lower rendering resolution and consumes less ink. It therefore increases printing speed even further, but reduces print quality. Economode can be selected only from the custom options (not from the slider). There is also a supplementary custom option that may have an effect on print quality: Maximum detail. See High-quality printing on page 67. NOTE: In the Windows driver dialog, the rendering resolution for your job is displayed in the Custom Print Quality Options dialog box (select Custom options and then Settings). In the Mac OS Print dialog, it is displayed in the Summary panel. ENWW Print from a computer using a printer driver 61
