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.)

Select Normal or Draft.

Draft is faster than

Normal.

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.)

Select Pattern.

Turn off ColorSync.

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.
