Manage power
To conserve electricity and extend the length of time you can use the printer while using battery power, the printer comes with the following features:
•Sleep mode
Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer will enter Sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. The time to Sleep mode cannot be changed.
•Auto-Off
When Auto
◦Windows: Open Toolbox. (For more information, see Toolbox (Windows).) In the Services tab, click Power Settings, and then select the preferred amount of time.
◦Mac OS X: Open HP Utility. (For more information, see HP Utility (Mac OS X).) In the Printer Settings section, click Power Management, and then select the preferred amount of time.
In addition, try the following:
•Turn off Bluetooth when not in use. To turn off Bluetooth, press the (Bluetooth) button on the printer’s control panel.
•To maximize battery life and capacity, be sure to charge, use, and store the battery in places that meet the recommended temperature guidelines. For more information about using the battery, see Install and use the battery.
Conserve printing supplies
To conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
•Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.
•Do not clean the ink cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
•Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. For more information, see Print on both sides (duplexing).
