Accessibility
The printer provides a number of features that make it accessible for people with disabilities.
Visual
The HP software provided with the printer is accessible for users with visual impairments or low vision by using your operating system's accessibility options and features. The software also supports most assistive technology such as screen readers, Braille readers, and voice-to-text applications. For users who are color blind, colored buttons and tabs used in the HP software have simple text or icon labels that convey the appropriate action.
Mobility
For users with mobility impairments, the HP software functions can be executed through keyboard commands. The HP software also supports Windows accessibility options such as StickyKeys, ToggleKeys, FilterKeys, and MouseKeys. The printer doors, buttons, paper trays, and paper-width guides can be operated by users with limited strength and reach.
Support

Quiet Mode

Optimize Printing Supplies
Manage power
Use Sleep Mode, Auto-o and Schedule Printer On/O to conserve electricity.
Sleep mode
Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup of printer, the printer will enter Sleep mode after ve minutes of inactivity.
Use the following instructions to change the period of inactivity before the printer sleeps.
1. On the printer control panel display, from the Home screen, swipe left to see ( Setup ), and then
touch ( Setup ).
NOTE: If you do not see the Home screen, touch (Home).
2. Touch Power Management, touch Sleep, and then touch the desired option.
Auto- o
This feature turns the printer o after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-O turns the printer o completely, so you must use the Power button to turn the printer back on.
If your printer supports this energy saving feature, Auto-O is automatically enabled or disabled depending on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when Auto-O is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.
● Auto-O is enabled when the printer is turned on, if the printer does not have network, fax or Wi-Fi
Direct capability, or is not using these capabilities.
● Auto-O is disabled when a printer’s wireless or Wi-Fi Direct capability is turned on or when a printer
with fax, USB, or Ethernet network capability establishes a fax, USB, or Ethernet network connection.
TIP: To conserve battery power, you can enable Auto-O, even when the printer is connected or
wireless is turned on.
Schedule On and O
Use this feature to automatically turn the printer on or o on selected days. For example, you can schedule the printer to turn on at 8 a.m. and turn o at 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In this way, you save energy during the night and weekends.
Use the following instructions to schedule the day and time for On and O.
1. On the printer control panel display, from the Home screen, swipe left to see ( Setup ), and then
touch ( Setup ).
ENWW HP EcoSolutions (HP and the Environment) 3
NOTE: If you do not see the Home screen, touch (Home).
2. Touch Power Management, touch Schedule Printer On/O.
3. Touch O next to Schedule On or Schedule O to turn the feature on, and then follow the onscreen
instructions to set the day and time to turn on or turn o the printer.
CAUTION: Always turn the printer o properly, using either Schedule O or (the Power button) located
on the front left side of the printer.
If you improperly turn the printer o, the print carriage might not return to the correct position, causing problems with the cartridges and print quality issues.

Quiet Mode

Quiet Mode slows down printing to reduce overall noise without aecting print quality. It only works when printing on plain paper. Additionally, Quiet Mode is disabled if you are printing using the best or presentation print quality. To reduce printing noise, turn on Quiet Mode. To print at normal speed, turn Quiet Mode o. Quiet Mode is o by default.
NOTE: Quiet Mode does not work if you print photos or envelopes.
You can create a schedule by selecting the time when the printer prints in Quiet Mode. For example, you can schedule the printer to be in Quiet Mode from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. everyday.
To turn Quiet Mode on or o from the printer control panel
1. From the Home screen, touch ( Setup ).
2. Touch Quiet Mode.
3. Touch the toggle button to turn it on or o.
To turn Quiet Mode on or o from the printer software (Windows)
1. Open the HP printer software. For more information, see Open the HP printer software (Windows)
on page 19.
2. Click Quiet Mode .
3. Select On or O .
4. Click Save Setting.
To turn Quiet Mode on or o from the printer software (OS X and macOS)
1. Open HP Utility. For more information, see HP Utility (OS X and macOS) on page 92.
2. Select the printer.
3. Click Quiet Mode .
4. Select On or O .
5. Click Apply Now.
4 Chapter 2 Get started ENWW
To turn Quiet Mode on or o from the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
1. Open the EWS. For more information, see Open the embedded web server on page 93.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. In the Preferences section, select Quiet Mode , and then select On or O .

Mode.
NOTE: Quiet Mode is turned on only after the current page is printed and is only used for the current print
job.
To create a schedule for Quiet Mode from the printer control panel
1. From the Home screen, touch ( Setup ).
2. Touch Quiet Mode.
3. Touch O next to Quiet Mode to turn it on, and then touch OK to conrm.
4. Touch O next to Schedule, and then change start time and end time of the schedule.

Optimize Printing Supplies

To optimize printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:
● Recycle used original HP ink cartridges through HP Planet Partners. For more information, visit
www.hp.com/recycle.
● Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper.
● Change the print quality in the printer driver to a draft setting. The draft setting uses less ink.
● Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. Doing so wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
