Memory Enhancement technology (MEt)
(HP LaserJet 4 Plus and 5 only)
HP Memory Enhancement technology (MEt) effectively doubles
the printer’s standard memory through a variety of font and data
compression methods. MEt also automatically compresses fonts
for desktop publishing applications.
When printing graphics, MEt analyzes each page as it is being
printed and automatically applies a variety of methods to print
the complete page at the correct resolution. Two of these
methods, Image Adapt and Page Protect, are user-selectable
through HP Explorer’s Remote Control Panel (Printer Memory
Category).
Note
MEt is only available in PCL mode; it is not
functional when printing in PostScript mode.
Density
Print density is a measure of the darkness of print on the page.
The factory default setting is 3, but you can experiment with
different settings to find the best setting for your job. The lower
numbers lighten the print, the higher numbers darken the print.
(1 = low, 5 = high).
Print density can be affected by resolution enhancement, which
can be set for dark, medium, or light values.
Note
When you set the density to a higher number,
toner is used at a faster rate, reducing toner
cartridge life.
To adjust print density:
1 Press [On Line] to take the printer off line.
2 Press [Menu] until CONFIG MENU appears in the display.
3 Press [Item] until DENSITY appears in the display.
4 Press [+] or [-] to select the desired setting.
5 Press [Enter] to save the selection.
6 An asterisk (*) appears to indicate that your selection was
saved.
7 Press [On Line] to return the printer to active status.
8 Print approximately 20 pages to allow the new density setting
to stabilize.
Configuration 3-17
