Preferences

The

Preferences

tab lets you set whether or not a document prints

immediately, a print preview is displayed, or a print confirmation is
displayed. It also lets you change what happens when the media width
sensor detects that the page is not wide enough.

Ink Volume

is a slider that increases or decreases the amount of ink

used, which affects the way colors appear on the page.

Printing from DOS Software Programs

When printing from DOS, you can adjust print settings in two ways:
in the HP Deskjet Control Panel for DOS and from within your DOS
application’s printer driver.

HP Deskjet Control Panel for DOS

You have access to many printer features through application specific
DOS printer drivers; however, some software manufacturers do not
develop printer drivers for their DOS applications. Use the Deskjet
Control Panel to specify the default printer settings for printing from
DOS applications.

Optimized for Fax

Optimized for Fax prints your images using high-
contrast shades of gray making your printed
document ideal for faxing.

Image Enhancement

Select Image Enhancement if you want your images
enhanced by image processing algorithms that
increase the contrast and sharpen the image.

The Preference tab also lets you change the amount of time a page
is left to dry before the next page prints. Each paper type has a default
dry time.

HP Deskjet Control Panel does not support many of the special printing
features. For more information, see the online help.
