Selecting a Print Mode
Your printer incorporates several print modes that allow you to select print
quality, density of ink, and paper type. The control panel enables you to
select three of these print modes: HQ, FINE, and HS.
If you are using Windows, the INKJET MFP printer driver automatically
adjusts the print mode. If you are not using Windows, you may need to set
the print mode for your MS-DOS applications.
To select the print mode follow these steps:
1
Make sure the printer is off-line and the
machine is in standby mode.

HQ mode:Use HQ mode for most of your printing needs. The printer
automatically prints in HQ mode unless you change the mode.
HS mode:Use HS mode when you are printing draft documents. Your
document will print faster but the print density will be lower. HS mode uses
half the amount of ink as HQ mode.
FINE mode:Use FINE mode for printing on transparencies or printing
halftone images that produce grayscale or intermediate colors.
NOTE:
❐
The print mode may be overridden by your software.
❐
Select FINE mode (which reduces the print speed) only when
you want excellent quality for printing graphics or printing on
transparencies.
