HP Designjet 4500 Series - User Guide

You can specify the print quality in the following ways:
●
Using a Windows printer driver: go to the Print Quality section of the Paper/Quality tab.

NOTE If a print quality is set with the printer driver or with the Embedded Web Server, it

has already received (even if they have not started to print yet).
