Using Toner Save Mode

Toner Save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of your toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print quality.

There are two ways to enable the Toner Save mode.

To enable this feature from your printer

Press the Toner Save button on the control panel. The printer must be in Ready mode (Data light is on).

If the button backlight is on, toner save mode activates and the printer uses less toner to print a page.

If the button backlight is off, toner save mode is disabled and the printer prints in a normal mode.

Note: To enable or disable the Toner Save mode from the control panel, the Toner Save Mode option in the printer driver must be set to Printer Setting. See below.

1When you change the print settings from your software application, access the printer properties. See page 5.1 to access the printer properties.

2Click the Option tab, select the Toner Save Mode option. You can select from:

Printer Setting: If you select this option, this feature is determined by the setting you’ve made on the control panel of the printer.
