User Manual
In this way, you can print from anywhere with an Internet connection and email capability, without needing any
printer driver. There are a few constraints that you should bear in mind:
● The attached les to be printed must be in PDF, JPEG, or TIFF formats.
● The maximum le size is 10 MB, but your email server may have a lower limit.
● Files are printed in the original document size (at 100% scale), in normal quality, in color, and normally in
portrait orientation (some printers may oer autorotation)..

Print with HP Click
You can use HP Click to print a TIFF, JPEG, HP-GL/2, or PDF le directly from a computer connected to the printer.

Printing 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 Connecting the printer on page 12), and the computer must be connected to the printer by
network or USB cable.
When the printer driver has been installed and the computer is connected to the printer, 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. These methods oer 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.
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 eect on print quality: Maximum detail. See
High-quality printing on page 44.
NOTE: In the Windows driver dialog, the rendering resolution for your job is displayed in the Custom Print
Quality Options dialog box (click Custom options and then Settings). In the Mac OS X Print dialog, it is displayed in
the Summary panel.
