EconoMode Printing

Saving Toner with EconoMode

EconoMode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page. EconoMode also substantially reduces print quality. The result is similar to the draft mode found on some dot matrix printers. When set to ON, the printed image is lighter (like A), but still readable. EconoMode is a good choice for printing rough drafts.

(B represents the default OFF setting for high quality regular printing.)
