EconoMode Printing
Saving Toner with EconoMode
EconoMode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on
the printed page. EconoMode also substantially reduces print quality.
The result is similar to the draft mode found on some dot matrix
printers. When set to ON, the printed image is lighter (like A), but still
readable. EconoMode is a good choice for printing rough drafts.
(B represents the default OFF setting for high quality regular printing.)
Note
The EconoMode setting should normally be set through a software
application. If your software does not have this option, set EconoMode
through the printer control panel.
To turn on EconoMode from the control panel:
1 Press [Menu] until PRINTING MENU appears.
2 Press [Item] until ECONOMODE=OFF appears.
3 Press - Value + to select ECONOMODE=ON.
4 Press [Select] to save your selection. An asterisk (*) appears next to
your selection in the display.
5 Press [Go] to exit the menus.
