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.)

Also use the following selections in the Color Options dialog box. (To open
the Color Options dialog box, click the Color button in the Print dialog box.)

Color printing takes longer than black-only printing.

The black-only ink cartridge is designed for efficient, high-speed black and
grayscale printing. If you’re printing 20 or more pages in black or grayscale,
use the black-only cartridge.

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 to clean the print head.)

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

Switching cartridges uses extra ink. Don’t switch cartridges unnecessarily.
