SET REGISTRATION
     
For each tray, setting the registration shifts the margin alignment to center the image on the page from top to bottom and from left to right. You can also align the image on the front with the image printed on the back.

PRINT TEST PAGE
X1 SHIFT
Y1 SHIFT
X2 SHIFT
Y2 SHIFT
Shift from -20 to 20 along the X or Y axes. 0 is the default.
Print a test page and perform the alignment procedure for each tray.
When it creates an image, the product scans across the page from side to side as the sheet feeds from top to bottom into the product.
The scan direction is referred to as X. X1 is the scan direction for a single-sided page or for the first side of a two-sided page. X2 is the scan direction for the second side of a two-sided page.
The feed direction is referred to as Y. Y1 is the feed direction for a single-sided page or for the first side of a two-sided page. Y2 is the feed direction for the second side of a two-sided page.

Use the Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) setting to produce print with smooth angles, curves, and edges.
REt does not affect print quality if the resolution is set to the FASTRES 1200 or PRORES 1200 settings. All other print resolutions benefit from REt.
ECONOMODE
   
OFF*
ON
EconoMode is a feature that allows the product to use less toner per page. Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and might reduce the cost per page. However, it also reduces print quality. The printed page is adequate for printing drafts.
HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.
TONER DENSITY
   
1 to 5
Lighten or darken the print on the page. The lightest setting is 1, and the darkest setting is 5. The default setting of 3 usually produces the best results.
AUTO CLEANING

ON
When auto-cleaning is on, the product prints a cleaning page when the page count reaches the CLEANING INTERVAL setting.

When AUTO CLEANING is on, this option specifies the paper size that is used to print the cleaning page.
CREATE CLEANING PAGE
     
Prints a page of instructions for cleaning excess toner off the pressure roller in the fuser.

PROCESS CLEANING PAGE
     
Create and process a cleaning page for cleaning the pressure roller in the fuser. When the cleaning process runs, a cleaning page is printed. This page can be discarded.
