Using EconoMode (draft) printing

Use EconoMode (draft) printing to print with less toner on each page. Selecting this option
might extend the life of your print cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce
print quality.

HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode. If Economode is used full-time when
the average toner coverage is significantly less than five percent, it is possible that the toner
supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to
degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new print cartridge, even if
toner remains in the cartridge,

To use EconoMode (draft) printing on Windows computers

1. Open the printer driver (see

Changing the settings for a print job

).

2. On the Paper/Quality tab, click EconoMode.

3. Click OK.

Selecting print-quality settings

If you need advanced print quality, you can select from custom settings.
