Print with EconoMode
This printer has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner.
However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.
HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply
might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer
acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.
NOTE: If this option is not available in the print driver, set it using the printer control panel.
