You can also align the image on the front with the image printed on the back. SOURCE=TRAY 2 ADJUST TRAY FUSER MODES (HP LaserJet 9040/9050 only) List of media types Configure the fuser mode that is associated with each print-media type. The fuser mode can only be changed from this menu option on the control panel. The default value for each paper type is AUTO. AUTO: Utilizes the optimum mode for that media type. NORMAL: Normal temperature; prints at 40/50 pages per minute (ppm). LOW: Low temperature; prints at 40/50 ppm. HIGH1: Raises the temperature; prints at 40/50 ppm. HIGH2: Raises the temperature; prints at 32 ppm. SPECIAL: Use this mode to print at normal speeds with a 40second delay added to the beginning of the next job. After each 400 pages are printed, the first page of that job is printed at a slower speed in order to clean the fuser. No defects should be noticeable on the printed page. This is not a preferred setting. CAUTION If you change the fuser mode to HIGH1 or HIGH2, be sure to change it back to the default when you are done printing. Setting a paper type to HIGH1 or HIGH2 might shorten the life of some consumables, such as the fuser, and might cause other failures or jams. RESOLUTION= FASTRES 1200 300 600 FASTRES 1200 Select the resolution from the following values: 300: Produces draft print quality at maximum printer speed. 300 dpi (dots per inch) is recommended for some bitmapped fonts and graphics, and for compatibility with the HP LaserJet III family of printers. 600: Produces high print quality at maximum product speed. FASTRES 1200: Produces optimum print quality (comparable to 1200 dpi) at maximum product speed. Note It is best to change the resolution from the driver or software program.
