HP (Hewlett-Packard) 5200 Printer User Manual


 
Print Quality drop-down menu
The Print Quality drop-down menu contains the following controls in the HP PCL 6 Unidriver:
ProRes 1200 (170 lpi)
ProRes 1200 (141 lpi)
FastRes 1200
600 dpi
NOTE When a ProRes1200 setting is selected, documents are printed using a resolution of
1200 x 1200 dpi. This is the best print quality, but printing speed is slower than for documents
printed on the FastRes 1200, which uses a resolution of 1200 x 600 dpi.
The Print Quality drop-down menu contains the following controls in the HP PCL 5 Unidriver:
600 dpi
300 dpi
The Print Quality drop-down menu contains the following controls in the PS Emulation Unidriver:
1200 dpi
FastRes 1200
600 dpi
300 dpi
NOTE When a “ProRes” setting is selected, documents are printed using a resolution of 1200
x 1200 dpi. This is the best print quality, but printing speed is slower than for documents printed
on a “FastRes” setting. The “FastRes” setting emulates 1200-dpi printing, but places fewer dots
on the page and uses less toner, and printing speed is faster than for documents printed on a
“ProRes” setting.
EconoMode
Select the EconoMode check box to reduce the amount of toner on each printed page.
Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and reduces cost per page. However, it also
reduces print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time when the
average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the
mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you
must install a new print cartridge, even if toner remains in the cartridge.
NOTE The EconoMode setting might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed.
HP print cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as the quantity of toner.
If the EconoMode setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply
of toner is depleted, increasing the risk of toner leaking. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this
problem.
