EconoMode creates draft-quality printing by reducing

 

 

the amount of toner on the printed page.

 

 

Note

 

 

 

It is best to turn EconoMode on or off in the program or

 

 

printer driver. (Program and printer-driver settings

 

 

override control panel settings.)

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

HP does not recommend full-time use of EconoMode.

 

 

If EconoMode is used full-time, it is possible that the

 

 

toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the

 

 

print cartridge.
