Print quality

You can choose between three print quality options:

Best

Normal

Fast.

In general, the better the print quality you choose, the slower the printing routine.

The highest resolution in color, for the HP DesignJet 450C and 488CA, is 300 dpi

(dots per inch) and the highest addressable* resolution in monochrome, for the HP

DesignJet 430, 450C and 488CA, is 600 dpi. To select a print quality option, use

either the keys on the printer’s front panel or the printer driver in your software.

Configuration settings

By pressing the Setup key on the front-panel of the printer, you can print the

printer’s current configuration in a Setup Sheet. If you want to change any of the

configuration settings (for example, line widths) you can do this by simply

marking your changes on the Setup Sheet and feeding it back into the printer. The

printer will read your request and re-configure itself automatically.

Each time you print one of these Setup Sheets it shows the printer’s latest

configuration—and so please keep the latest one filed with your Quick Reference

Guide in the pocket at the side of the printer, so that a service engineer would know

the current configuration even if the printer is temporarily inoperable.

* The “addressable” resolution refers to the smallest movement the print head can make between

dots rather than to the size of the dot.
