type. The device supports the following modes:
NORMAL : Used for most types of paper.
HIGH2 : Used for paper that has a special or rough finish.
HIGH1 : Used for rough paper.
LOW3 : Used for transparencies.
LOW2 : Used for lightweight media. Use this mode if you are
having problems with curled paper.
LOW1 : Use this mode if you are experiencing wrinkled media.
The default fuser mode is  NORMAL for all print media types
except transparencies ( LOW3) and rough paper ( HIGH1).
CAUTION Do not change the fuser mode for
transparencies. Failure to use the  LOW3 setting while
printing transparencies can result in permanent
damage to the device and fuser. Always select
Transparencies  as the type in the printer driver and
set the tray type at the device control panel to
TRANSPARENCY .
When selected,  RESTORE MODES  resets the fuser
mode for each media type back to its default setting.

300: Produces draft print quality and can be used for
compatibility with the HP Las erJet III family of devices.
600 : Produces high print quality for text and can be used for
compatibility with the HP Las erJet 4 family of devices.
FASTRES 1200 : Produces 1200-dpi print quality for fast, high-

PRORES 1200 : Produces 1200-dpi print quality for fast, high-
quality printing of line  art and graphic images.
NOTEIt is best to change the resolution in the

The default setting is  FASTRES 1200.
RETOFF
LIGHT
MEDIUM
DARKUse 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.
NOTEIt 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.
ECONOMODEON
OFFEconoMode 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.
NOTEIt 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.
