•Best  produces high quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect
that sometimes occurs  in solid areas. Best copies slower than the  Normal or Fast
quality settings.
• Normal  delivers high quality and is the recommended setting for most of your
copying.  Normal copies faster than  Best and is the default setting.
• Fast  copies faster than the  Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of
the  Normal  setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The  Fast setting uses
less ink and extends the life  of your ink cartridges.

example, if you are copying a page from a smal l book, you can enlarge the copy so it fills
the page and is easier to read. Similarly, if the original is larger than the paper you have
loaded, you can reduce the copy so none of the original content is cropped.
