printing. The following are the settings:
600 dpi:
This is the default setting.
FastRes 1200:
This setting provides better print quality, but jobs take longer to print.
ProRes 1200:
This setting is available for the HP LaserJet 1300 series printer. It provides the
best print quality.
EconoMode (Saves Print Cartridges):
Text is printed using less toner. This setting is useful

settings.
