Select the resolution from the
following values:
300
: Produces draft print quality at
the printer’s maximum speed (17
ppm). 300 dpi (dots per inch) is
recommended for some
bitmapped fonts and graphics, and
for compatibility with the HP
LaserJet III family of printers.
600
: Produces high print quality at
the printer’s maximum speed
(17 ppm).
FASTRES 1200
: Produces
optimum print
quality (comparable
to 1200 dpi) at the printer’s
maximum speed (17 ppm).
PRORES 1200
: Produces optimum
print quality (true 1200 dpi) at half
the printer’s maximum speed (8
ppm for the HP LaserJet 4000
printer, or at highest print quality at
engine speed for the HP LaserJet
4050 printer).
When the resolution is changed,
any downloaded resources (such
as fonts or macros) will need to be
downloaded again, unless they are
stored on an optional hard disk or
flash DIMM.
Note
It is best to change the resolution
from the printer driver or software
application. (Driver and software
settings override Control Panel
settings.)
