Accessibility
The printer provides a number of features that make it accessible for people with disabilities.
● Visual
The HP software 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.

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

Dashboard, touch .
2. Touch Sleep Mode, and then touch the desired option.
Auto-O
This feature turns the printer o after 8 hours of inactivity to help reduce energy use. Auto-O turns the
printer o completely, so you must use the Power button to turn on the printer again.
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.
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. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the
Dashboard, touch .
2. Touch Schedule Printer On/O.

3. You can touch Schecule On/O to get to the time settings after setting one of these to ON.
4. Touch the desired option, and follow the onscreen messages to set the day and time to turn 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.
Never turn o 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

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.

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.

Work with trays

is loaded in both Tray 1 and Tray 2.

paper (such as letterhead or preprinted paper).
The printer will not use a locked tray even when the other tray is empty.
NOTE: For better experience, load only one type of paper in a tray.
NOTE: Tray 2 supports only plain paper.
To achieve this Follow these steps
Have paper loaded in both trays and use paper from one tray if
the other tray is empty.
Have paper loaded in both trays and use paper from one of the
trays rst.
Be able to choose from plain paper and another paper type that
you use occasionally.
NOTE: For better experience, load only one type of paper in a
tray.
