Saving Toner with EconoMode
EconoMode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the
printed page. We recommend EconoMode for draft copy only due to
substantial reduction of print quality. When set to ON, the printed image is
lighter (like A, below), but still readable. (B, below represents the default
OFF setting.)
To turn on EconoMode:
You can change this setting using the software that came with your printer
(see software and online helps) or through the printer’s control panel by
following these steps:
1 Press [On Line] to take the printer off line.
2 Press [Menu] until PRINTING MENU appears.
3 Press [Item] until ECONOMODE=OFF appears.
4 Press [+] to select ECONOMODE=ON.
5 Press [Enter] to save your selection. An asterisk (*) appears next to your
selection.
6 Press [On Line] to place the printer back on line.
Note
HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. Full-time use will
result in a loss of print quality due to normal toner cartridge mechanical
wear.
