Printer settings tips (Windows)
● To change default print settings, open the HP printer software, click Print, Scan & Fax , and then click
Set Preferences. For information how to open the printer software, see Open the HP printer software

● To understand paper and paper tray settings:
– Paper Size: Select the paper size you loaded in the input tray.
– Media: Select the paper type you are using.
● To understand color or black and white settings:
– Color: Uses ink from all cartridges for full color prints.

white prints.
– High Quality Grayscale: Uses ink from both the color and black cartridges to produce a wider range
of black and grey tones for high quality black and white prints.
● To understand print quality settings:
The print quality is measured in print resolution dots per inch (dpi). Higher dpi produces clearer and
more detailed prints, but slows print speed and might use more ink.
– Draft: Lowest dpi typically used when ink levels are low or when high quality prints are not needed.
– Better: Suitable for most print jobs.
– Best: Better dpi than Better.
– Max DPI Enabled: Highest dpi setting available for print quality.
● To understand page and layout settings:
– Orientation: Select Portrait for vertical prints or Landscape for horizontal prints.
– Print on Both Sides: Automatically ip the pages after one side of the paper prints out so that you
can print on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Long Edge: Select it if you want to ip pages by the long edge of the paper when
printing on both sides of the paper.
○ Flip on Short Edge: Select it if you want to ip pages by the short edge of the paper when
printing on both sides of the paper.
– Pages per Sheet: Helps you specify the order of the pages if you print the document with more
than two pages per sheet.
