HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 printers - Software Technical Reference Manual

Resolution
The resolution setting for the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers is 600 dpi.
Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG)
The Scale Patterns (WYSIWYG) feature is implemented to address the moiré effect created when certain programs
encounter certain patterns. Use this feature to turn off the pattern scaling. What you lose is WYSIWYG with patterns,
but the printed result might look better. The feature works only with programs that use vector hatch patterns. This
option is on by default.
Print all Text as Black
The Print all Text as Black feature is off by default. When selected, this option causes the driver to print all text as
black regardless of the original document text color. By design, however, white text remains white, as a fail-safe
method of printing reverse typeface against a dark background. This setting does not affect graphic images on the
page. Print all Text as Black remains selected only for the current print job. When the current print job is completed,
Print all Text as Black is automatically turned off.
Font Settings group box
In the Font Settings group box, the only available option is Send TrueType as Bitmaps, which provides a safety net
for programs that cannot easily use TrueType (TM) fonts for special graphic purposes, such as shading, rotation, or
slanting.
EconoMode
Use the EconoMode check box to turn this toner-saving feature on and off independently of the other Print Quality
tab settings. When this check box is selected, the preview image lightens to show the expected appearance of the
printed page when this feature is applied. The option is off by default.
The EconoMode option can also be activated from the printer control panel. The EconoMode setting on the Print
Quality tab (on or off) overrides the setting on the printer control-panel display, as shown on the following table. If an
HP cartridge is not used, EconoMode is not available, regardless of the driver or control-panel setting.
