Saving paper and energy with Eco-Mode

The Eco-Mode feature significantly cuts paper usage, reduces paper waste, optimizes energy efficiency, and saves money.

•The printer prints on both sides of the paper (duplex) for copy and fax jobs, and for printing in Windows (selected models only).

To enable Eco-Mode, press the 2-Sided/Eco-Modebutton until the light near “Eco-Mode” comes on.
