EconoMode
This product has an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use
less toner and decrease the cost per page. However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.
HP does not recommend 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 will need to install a new print cartridge, even if there is toner supply remaining in
the cartridge.
Enable or disable EconoMode in any of these ways:
●At the product control panel, select the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, and then select the PRINT
QUALITY submenu. EconoMode is turned off by default.
●In the embedded Web server, open the Settings tab and select the Configure Device option.
Navigate to the Print Quality submenu.
●In the HP Printer Utility for Macintosh, click Configuration Settings, and then click Economode
& Toner Density.
●In the Windows PCL printer driver, open the Paper/Quality tab, and select the EconoMode option.
