increase copy speed or quality

The HP Fax 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.

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 reduces the frequency of replacing your print cartridges,
because it uses less ink.

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.
