Using EconoMode (Saves toner)

Note

An excellent way to extend the life of your print cartridge is by using EconoMode. EconoMode uses substantially less toner than normal printing. The printed image is much lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

1To enable EconoMode, access the printer properties (or printing preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Printer properties (driver) for instructions.

2On the Paper/Quality tab or the Finishing tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac drivers), select the EconoMode checkbox.

Not all printer features are available from all drivers or operating systems. See the printer properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.

Note	See Printer properties (driver) for instructions on enabling EconoMode for all future jobs.
