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 print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under
these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.
1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.
2. Select the product, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4. Click the EconoMode check box.
Auto-Off mode
Auto-Off is an energy-saving feature of this product. After a user-specified time period, the product

button is pressed or a print job is received.
Change the Auto-Off delay time
You can change how long the product remains idle (Auto-Off delay) before it enters Auto-Off mode.
