on page 53.

							EconoMode
With EconoMode, the device uses less toner per page. Selecting this option can extend the life of the
print cartridge and reduce your cost per page. However, it also reduces 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, the toner
supply might 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 remains in the cartridge.
1.To use EconoMode, open the printer Properties (or Printing Preferences in Windows 2000
and XP).
2.On the Paper/Quality tab or the Finishing tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac drivers),
select the EconoMode check box.
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.
