Print Quality drop-down menu
The Print Quality drop-down menu contains the following controls in the PCL 6 printer driver:
●
ProRes 1200 (156 lpi)
●
ProRes 1200 (180 lpi)
●
FastRes 1200
●
600 dpi
●
ProRes 1200
NOTE: When a ProRes1200 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 the
FastRes 1200, which uses a resolution of 1200 x 600 dpi.
EconoMode
Select the EconoMode check box in conjunction with any of the print quality settings. When using
EconoMode, the product uses less toner on each page. Using this option might extend the life of the
print cartridge and can lower the cost per page, but also reduces print quality. Using the EconoMode
feature with non-HP print cartridges can result in toner spillage or product damage.
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 print cartridge is installed. 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 parts to avoid this problem.
