HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - Quick Reference Guide

Manage print options

Select print quality

The printer has various print-quality options. The best quality printing requires some

loss of speed, while maximum-speed printing can cause some reduction in print

quality. The printer has four different print-quality options.

NOTE: If you have set the print quality in the printer driver or through the

Embedded Web Server, that setting overrides a print-quality setting

established on the front panel.

NOTE: You cannot change the print quality of pages that the printer is

already receiving or has already received (even if they have not started to

print yet).

Use the Embedded Web Server

To specify the print quality through the Embedded Web Server, go to the Submit

Job page on the Main tab. In the Job Settings tree, select Basic settings and

then select one of the settings from the Print quality drop-down menu: Fast,

Normal-Fast, Normal, or Best.

NOTE: Be aware that when you submit more than one job at a time by

clicking the Add files button in the Embedded Web Server, all of the jobs

that you submit will adopt the settings of the final job that you submit.

However, none of the jobs in the print queue are affected.

Use a driver

You can specify the print quality in the following ways:

●

In the Windows HP-GL/2 or Postscript driver, go to the Paper/Quality tab

and look at the Print Quality section. If you select Standard Options, you

can use the slider to select some compromise between speed and quality. If you

select Custom Options, you can choose Fast, Normal-Fast, Normal

or Best.

●

In the Mac OS Print dialog box, go to the Image Quality panel. If you

select Standard quality options, you can use the slider to select some

compromise between speed and quality. If you select Custom quality options,

you will see the specific print-quality options.

NOTE: In the Windows driver dialog box, the rendering resolution for your

job appears in the Custom Print Quality Optionsdialog box. In the Mac

OS Print dialog box, it appears in the Summary panel.
