increase copy speed or quality
The HP PSC provides three options that affect copy speed and quality.
• 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.
• 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 may be of lower quality. Using Fast
also cuts down on the frequency of replacing your print cartridges,
because it uses less ink.
