Lexmark 70E, 701 manual Setting your printer as the default printer

Changing the default printing mode

To conserve ink, you can change the default printing mode for all print jobs to Draft or Quick Print. It uses less ink and is recommended for printing text-only documents. If you need to change to a different print mode to print photos or other high-quality documents, then you can select a different mode from the Print dialog before sending the print job.
