HP LaserJet Enterprise, HP PageWide Enterprise - Configure Energy-conservation settings

Learn how to configure the printer energy-conservation settings to balance the needs for speed and energy use.

Introduction

The printer includes several features to help reduce energy consumption.

Print with EconoMode (mono models only)

Some printers have an EconoMode option for printing drafts of documents. Using EconoMode can use less toner. However, using EconoMode can also reduce print quality.

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 toner cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade and is no longer acceptable, consider replacing the toner cartridge.

Note:

If this option is not available in your print driver, you can set it using the printer control panel.

Configure EconoMode from the print driver

Use the following steps to configure EconoMode from the print driver.

From the software program, select the Print option.
Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
Click the Paper/Quality tab.
Click the EconoMode check box to enable the feature, and then click OK.

Open the following menus:
1. General
2. Energy Settings
3. Idle Settings

Set the sleep timer and configure the printer to use 1 watt or less of power

The printer has several options for the energy-saving sleep timer feature. The time delay to enter the Sleep/Auto Off state is adjustable, and the power usage during the Sleep/Auto Off state varies according to selection for the Wake/Auto On option.

Note:

HP does not recommend using deep sleep settings if you have Security Solutions installed. In some situations, the printer does not wake from deep sleep. For additional information, contact your HP representative.

The steps vary according to the type of control panel.
