Draft mode
Depending on the printer driver, selecting a “draft” or “economy”
mode from the printer driver allows the HP LaserJet 3100/3150
product to use approximately 50% less toner, extending the life of the
toner cartridge. This is only available using printer driver properties
when printing or making copies from the software.
