HP Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter - N811a N811d - Manual (Page 12)

NOTE: The printer’s Sleep Mode and Auto Power-Off features are temporarily not
available if one or more of the ink cartridges are missing. After the cartridge is
reinstalled, these features resume.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as
possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the
ink system. Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.
Conserve printing supplies
To conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
•
Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.
• Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of
the cartridges.
• Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. If the printer has an
automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer), see Print on both sides
(duplexing). Otherwise, you can first print just the odd pages, flip the pages over,
and then print just the even pages.
