EconoMode | HP P2010 manual

EconoMode

EconoMode is a feature that allows the printer to use less toner per page. Selecting this option may extend the life of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

HP does not recommend the 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. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if toner supply remains in the cartridge.

1.To use EconoMode, open the printer Properties (or Printing Preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See Configure the Windows printer driver on page 13 or Configure the Macintosh printer driver on page 16 for instructions.

2.On the Paper/Quality tab or the Finishing tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac drivers), select the EconoMode checkbox.

NOTE: Not all printer features are available in all drivers or operating systems. See the printer Properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.
