Table 3-8. Print Quality Menu (continued) Item Values Explanation RET=MEDIUM OFF LIGHT MEDIUM DARK Use the printer’s Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges. REt does not affect print quality when the print resolution is set to ProRes 1200. All other print resolutions, including FastRes 1200, benefit from REt. Note It is best to change the REt setting from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override Control Panel settings.) ECONOMODE=OFF OFF ON Turn EconoMode on (to save Toner) or off (for high quality).
EconoMode creates draft-quality printing by reducing the amount of Toner on the printed page by up to 50%. Caution HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. (If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the Toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the Toner cartridge.) Note It is best to turn EconoMode on or off from the printer driver or software application. (Driver and software settings override Control Panel settings.) Control Panel Menus 3-13
