RET OFF
LIGHT
MEDIUM
DARK
Use the Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to
produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges.
REt does not affect print quality if the print resolution is set to
FastRes 1200 or ProRes 1200. All other print resolutions
benefit from REt.
NOTE It is best to change the REt setting in the
program or printer driver. (Program and device-driver
settings override control-panel settings.)
The default setting is MEDIUM.
ECONOMODE ON
OFF
EconoMode is a feature that allows the printer to use less toner
per page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner
supply and may reduce cost per page. However, it will also
reduce print quality. The printed page is lighter, but it is
adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If
EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the
mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to
degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a
new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.
NOTE It is best to turn EconoMode on or off in the
program or printer driver. (Program and device-driver
settings override control-panel settings.)
The default setting is OFF.
TONER DENSITY 1 to 5 Lighten or darken the print on the page by setting the toner
density. Select a setting ranging from 1 (light) to 5 (dark). The
default setting of 3 usually produces the best results.
