Speed

For faster printing, change the Print Quality setting in the Print dialog box.
(To display the dialog box, choose Print from the File menu.)

Color printing takes longer than black-only printing.

The optional high-performance black ink cartridge is designed for efficient,
high-speed, black and grayscale printing.

Cost

To reduce the amount of ink you use, select Draft quality in the Print dialog
box whenever possible.

Leave the printer’s cover shut. (Every time you open and shut the cover, the
printer uses ink as it cleans the print head.)

Don’t unplug the printer unnecessarily or connect it to a power strip that you
turn off occasionally. When reconnect the power, it uses ink as it cleans the
print head.

Switching cartridges between the color cartridge and an optional high-
performance black cartridge uses extra ink. Don’t switch cartridges
unnecessarily. If you plan to print many pages in black or grayscale (for a
cumulative total of 20 or more pages), use the optional high-performance
black cartridge.
