Saving paper and energy with Eco-Mode

The Eco-Mode feature significantly cuts paper usage, reduces paper waste, optimizes energy efficiency, and saves money.

Note: If you are using Eco-Mode, then the Eco-Mode settings override any changes you may make to individual settings that are part of Eco-Mode.

When Eco-Mode is enabled, the printer automatically switches to the following settings:

•The printer display is dimmed.

•The printer changes to Power Saver mode after ten minutes.

•The printer prints on both sides of the paper (duplex) for copy and fax jobs, and for printing in Windows (selected models only).

To enable Eco-Mode, press the 2-Sided/Eco-Modebutton until the light near “Eco-Mode” comes on.
