NOTE

When a “ProRes” setting is selected, documents are printed using a resolution of 1200

x 1200 dpi. This is the best print quality, but printing speed is slower than for documents printed

on a “FastRes” setting. The “FastRes” setting emulates 1200-dpi printing, but places fewer dots

on the page and uses less toner, and printing speed is faster than for documents printed on a

“ProRes” setting.

EconoMode

Select the

EconoMode

check box to reduce the amount of toner on each printed page.

Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and reduces cost per page. However, it also

reduces print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time when the

average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the

mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances,

install a new print cartridge, even if toner remains in the cartridge.

NOTE

The

EconoMode

setting only works if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed. HP print

cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts and the quantity of toner. If the

EconoMode

setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply of

toner is depleted, increasing the risk of toner leaking.

The

EconoMode

option can be activated from the device control panel, from the

Print Quality

tab in

the software program properties, or from the

Print Quality

dialog box on the

Paper-Quality

tab in the

driver. If the

EconoMode

option is selected from the control panel, and if the device has a genuine HP

cartridge, the ON setting overrides any setting made in the program or driver, as shown in the following

table.
