Save toner

[pepsi133]

Hi! So ive been trying to look for the "save toner" options when you print but with hp, i i could find it as an option? Im just printing documents with minimal pictures but it seems like its consuming too much of the toner. Is there any way to control it? 

I hope you guys could help me or walk me through this. Thankyou!

Welcome to HP support community.

You can print in EconoMode to reduce toner usage:

1. In the program you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.

   The printer settings window opens.

2. Select your printer from the Printer menu.

3. Open the Properties dialog box.

   Depending on the software program, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

4. Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then clear the EconoMode check box in the Print Quality section.

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.

I didnt see the economode on the printing quality tab. all is see is colour which gives me an option if i want  black and white or coloured. i tried looking for it by opening the advanced setting. The following is what i see on the advanced setting

paper/output (paper size, copy count) 

document options (colour printing mode which is colour)

then printer features ( output quality : normal, scaling : auto, PDF fit to page : False

so i didnt see the economode option.

I understand your concerns.

This printer has 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.

If this option is not available in your print driver, you can set it using the HP Embedded Web Server.

1. From the software program, select the Print option.

2. Select the printer, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.

3. Click the Paper/Quality tab. 4. Click the EconoMode checkbox.

Have a nice day!!
