Environmental product stewardship program
HP is committed to he lping customers reduce their environ mental footprint. HP has
provided these features  to help you focus on ways to assess and  reduce the impact of
your printing choices.

Manage power
To conserve electricity, try the following:
• Turn on the printer's Sleep Mode feature, and then select the option for the shortest time. After the printer has been inactive for  this period of time, the printer will go
into low-power mode. To configure this feature, touch 
 (eco button) on the
printer’s control panel display, touch  Sleep, and then touch the desired option.
• Use the printer's Schedule On and Off feature, and then select the days and time you want the printer to turn on and turn off automatically. For example, you can
schedule the printer to turn  on at 8am and turn off at 8pm from Monday to Friday.
In this way, you will save energy during the night and weekends. To configure this
feature, touch 
 (eco button) on the printer's control panel display, touch
Schedule On and Off , and then set the time to turn on and off the printer.
• Adjust the screen brightness to  a dimmer setting. To configure this feature, touch
 (eco button) on the printer's control panel display, touch  Screen
Brightness , and then set the desired option.
NOTE:The printer's Sleep Mode and Schedule On and Off features are
temporarily not available if one or more of the ink cartridges are missing. After the
cartridge is reinstalled, these features resume.
CAUTION: HP recommends that you repl ace any missing cartridges as soon as
possible to avoid print quality issues an d possible extra ink usage or damage to the
ink system. Never turn off the prin ter when ink cartridges are missing.
Conserve printing supplies
To conserve printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
• Change the print mode to a draft setting. Draft setting uses less ink.
• Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. This wastes ink and shortens the life of
the cartridges.
• Reduce paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. If the printer has an HP automatic two-sided print ing accessory (duplexer), see 
Print on both sides
(duplexing). Otherwise, you can first print just th e odd pages, flip the pages over,
and then print just the even pages.
