increase copy speed or quality
The HP PSC provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.
• Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for 
most of your copying. Normal copies faster than Best.
• Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding 
(striping) effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies more 
slowly than the other quality settings.
• Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is of comparable quality 
to the Normal setting, but the graphics might be of lower quality. Using 
Fast cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges, because 
it uses less ink.
