You can choose between four print modes from the printer driver, from WebAccess, or from the printer's front panel (see how do I select the print quality?). Here is a summary of the characteristics of each print mode.

From the printer driver only, you can also select the Enhanced IQ option, which will in general give you some increase in quality (as shown below) and some decrease in speed.

Print mode	Speed	Quality	Resolution (dots per inch)	Resolution with Enhanced IQ
Max Quality			600 × 600	1200 × 600 (1)
Productivity			300 × 300	600 × 600
Production (2)			300 × 300	(not applicable)
Max Speed			300 × 300	(3)

Notes

1. The highest printing resolution of 1200 × 600 dpi is available with glossy paper only.
2. Production mode is available only with dye-based inks and certain specific HP paper types (see how do I select production mode?).
3. If you select Max Speed and Enhanced IQ, Production mode will be used.
