    Using toner save mode
    Toner save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page. 
    Activating this mode extends the life  of your toner cartridge and reduces 
    your cost per page beyond what one would experience in the normal 
    mode, but it reduces print quality.
    There are two ways to enable this mode:
    Using the control panel button
    Press  To n e r  S a v e  on the control panel. The printer must be in Standby 
    mode; the Status LED lights green and  Ready is shown on the display.
    • If the button backlight is on, the  mode is enabled and the printer uses 
    less toner to print a page.
    • If the button backlight is off, th e mode is disabled and the printer 
    prints in normal mode.
    From the software application
    You can set toner save mode from the printer properties window on your 
    printer driver. See the  Software section.
