It is best to change the REt setting in the program or print driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control-panel settings.)

The default setting is MEDIUM.

ECONOMODE

ON

OFF

EconoMode is a feature that allows the product to use less toner per page. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner supply and may reduce cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed page is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

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.

note:

It is best to turn EconoMode on or off in the program or printer driver. (Program and printer-driver settings override control-panel settings.)

The default setting is OFF.
