EconoMode

The EconoMode setting uses approximately 50% less toner than standard mode printing by reducing the dot density. However, EconoMode does not extend toner cartridge component life. EconoMode, which can also be thought of as “draft mode,” is user-selectable through some software applications. The default setting is Off.
