The Print Quality drop-down menu contains the following controls in the PS 3 Emulation Unidriver: ● 1200 dpi ● FastRes 1200 ● 600 dpi ● 300 dpi 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 might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed. HP print cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as 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. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem. The EconoMode option can be activated from the printer control panel, from the Print Quality tab in the software application properties, or from the Print Quality dialog on the Paper-Quality tab in the driver. If the EconoMode option is selected from the control panel, and if the printer has a genuine HP cartridge, the ON setting overrides any setting made in the application or driver, as shown in the following table.
