Minimizing your printer's environmental impact

We are committed to protecting the environment and are continually improving our printers to reduce their environmental impact. By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's environmental impact even further.

Conserving energy

•Eco-Mode.This feature sets the screen brightness to low and sets the printer to change to Power Saver mode after the printer is left idle for 10 minutes. Eco-Mode is enabled by default in your printer.

•Select the lowest Power Saver timeout. The Power Saver feature puts the printer in a minimum-power standby mode after the printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Power Saver timeout).

•Share your printer. Wireless/network printers allow you to share a single printer among multiple computers, thus conserving energy and other resources.

Conserving paper

•Print more than one page image on one side of the paper. The “Pages per sheet” feature allows you to print multiple pages on one sheet. You can print up to 8 page images on one side of a sheet of paper.

•Print on both sides of the paper. Duplexing lets you print on both sides of the paper manually or automatically (depending on your printer model).

•Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print or Print Preview dialog, or the printer display (depending on your printer model).

•Scan and save. To avoid printing multiple copies, you can scan documents or photographs and save them to a computer program, application, or flash drive for presentation.

•Use recycled paper.

Conserving ink

•Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than normal and are ideal for printing documents that are mostly text.

•Use High Yield cartridges. Inks in High-Yield cartridges allow you to print more pages with fewer cartridges.
