The printer is designed with the PowerSave feature to conserve electricity by substantially reducing power consumption when it is idle for a specified length of time. The user-adjustable PowerSave feature qualifies the

HP LaserJet 5 Printer for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Computers award.

Toner	The EconoMode feature lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of
Savings	toner on the printed page by 50%, so the toner cartridge lasts longer. The
	printed result is similar to the draft mode found on some dot matrix printers.

	65 on disk for MS Windows. HP FontSmart software is also included for
	simple font management in MS Windows.
