●Manage Power

●Optimize Printing Supplies

Manage Power

To conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features:

Sleep mode

Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. The printer goes into low-power mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.

To change the time to Sleep mode:

1.Open the embedded web server (EWS). For more information, see Open the embedded web server.

2.Click the Settings tab.

3.In the Power Management section, click Energy Save Mode and select the desired option.

4.Click Apply.

Autooff

This feature turns the printer off after 2 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. uto-Off turns the printer off completely, so you must use the Power button to turn the printer back on. If your printer supports this energy saving feature, uto-Off is automatically enabled or disabled depending on printer capabilities and connection options. Even when uto-Off is disabled, the printer enters Sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to help reduce energy use.

●uto-Off 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.

●uto-Off 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.

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.

●Save ink and paper when printing web content with HP Smart Print. For more information, visit www.hp.com/go/smartprint.

●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.

Paper basics

The printer is designed to work well with most types of office paper. It is best to test a variety of print paper types before buying large quantities. Use HP paper for optimum print quality. Visit the HP website at www.hp.com for more information about HP paper.

HP recommends plain papers with the ColorLok logo for printing everyday documents. All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks, and that dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.

This section contains the following topics:

●Tips for selecting and using paper

Recommended papers for printing

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers that are specifically designed for the type of project you are printing.
