changes from This is the "Faster Printing" setting (or This is the “Best Quality” setting) to This
is a "Custom" setting.

The Output Settings group box contains controls for resolution and pattern scaling, and to print all
text as black.
The following are the default values for the Output Settings:
■ Resolution: FastRes 1200 is selected

■ Print all Text as Black is not selected
Resolution
Resolution refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the page. As resolution is
increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is improved. However, higher
resolution can also result in longer printing times. The following resolution options are available for
the HP LaserJet 4250/4350 printers:
■ ProRes 1200 (180 lpi): Prints using a resolution of 1200 x 1200 with 180 lines per inch (lpi). This
prints slower than other resolutions, but has the best print quality.
■ ProRes 1200 (141 lpi): Prints using a resolution of 1200 x 1200 with 141 lines per inch (lpi). It
prints slower than other resolutions, but has the best print quality.
■ FastRes 1200: Prints using a resolution of 1200 x 600. It is faster than full 1200 x 1200
resolution, but has a slightly lower print quality.
■ 600 dpi: Prints using standard 600 dpi resolution.
Resolution Enhancement technology (REt)
REt refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out jagged edges that can occur on the
angles and curves of a printed image. It is On by default. Select Off if graphics, particularly scanned
images, are not printing clearly.
