Using Toner Save Mode
Toner Save mode allows the printer to use less toner on
each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of your
toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page without a
significant reduction in print quality.
There are two ways to enable the Toner Save mode:

must be in Ready mode (Data light is on).

panel, the Toner Save Mode option in the printer driver must be
