If you improperly turn the printer off, the print carriage might not return to the correct position, causing problems with the cartridges and print quality issues.
Never turn off the printer when cartridges are missing. HP recommends that you replace any missing cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues, possible extra ink usage from the remaining cartridges, or damage to the ink system.
Quiet Mode slows down printing to reduce overall noise without affecting 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 off. Quiet Mode is off by default.
NOTE: Quiet Mode does not work if you print photos or envelopes.

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.
