Print with EconoMode
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less
toner and decrease the cost per page. 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: This feature is available with the PCL 6 print driver for Windows. If you are not using that
driver, you can enable the feature by using the HP Embedded Web Server.
1. From the software program, select the Print option.
2. Select the product, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4. Click the EconoMode check box.
5. Click the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the Print dialog, click
the OK button to print the job.
