Change copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One provides four options that affect copy speed and quality:
•Maximum Resolution  scans your original in 6-color. This generates the highest
quality on all paper and produces the most accurate color copy of your original.
Maximum Resolution  copies slower than the other quality settings.
• Best  produces high quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect
that sometimes occu rs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the  Normal or Fast
quality settings.

copying.  Normal copies faster than  Best and is the default setting.

Resize an original to fit onto letter or A4 paper
You can use the  Fit to Page feature to copy an original to fit within the printable margins
of a page without the risk of cropping some part of your original. This is useful for reducing
or enlarging an original. For example:
• If you enlarge a 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo to make a borderless full-size copy on
letter or A4 paper, some part of your photo will be cropped. The  Fit to Page feature
will enlarge the photo as much as possible to fit the page without cropping any part
of your photo.
• If the image or text on your original fills the entire sheet of paper with no margins, you
can use the  Fit to Page feature to reduce your original and prevent unwanted
cropping of the text or images at the edges of the sheet.
NOTE: In order to resize your original with out changing the proportions or cropping
the edges, the HP All-in-One might leave an uneven amount of white space around
the edges of the paper.
